Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The acting in this movie is really good.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Even though this movie was thirty minutes too long, had no plot and didn't make any sense, it wasn't really that bad. There is so much time where nothing is happening and yet they always forget to explain what is going on. But there are lots of good things about this movie too. They are on an island but the only time we see water, it appears to be a swamp. The island has a thousand species of snakes and every type of reptile. The ways the people die are silly. Some of the death scenes are too long with way too much screaming but a woman being killed by crabs makes up for that. Yes a woman is killed by crabs. A man is killed by an alligator with a band holding it's mouth shut. Great stuff. Milland plays the cranky grandfather who is extremely concerned about eating. That's the only story, he wants to eat all the time. I think he was supposed to be evil or something because that would explain the end. It seems like they edited out a lot of dialogue that would have helped the movie.

I saw this movie in a theater in 1972 and I have to say that in a darkened theater, the fear level is multiplied several times over. Fast forward 45 years and the intensity is still there.Two things are clear from all of it. One of the rules of survival in a horror movie, tongue in cheek, is to never go off alone. Almost everyone who got nailed did exactly that. It is also clear that a lot of these people's characters had not spent much time in the woods, let alone a swamp.I call myself a conservationist which is an environmentalist with common sense. This movie makes a case for sensible conservation by using the absurd. We have come a long way from when no one took seriously the problems caused by pollution, trashing the landscape, and abusive use of pesticides. We are the better for it. We who are Christians are taught that it is our responsibility to care for the animals and the landscape but we also have to balance it with the needs of humanity. This movie is a wake up call to how careless pollution and trashing the landscape is detrimental to all of us.It also appears to me that this movie may have been the inspiration to the hit series "Zoo". Also, the producers clearly learned from the master Roger Corman. You should try to watch this one if you get the chance.

Aging millionaire Ray Milland lives near the swamp yet hates reptiles and amphibians and all the creepy crawly things that inhabit swamps. So he tells his caretaker to poison all the creatures. I'm not sure why he just doesn't move. Anyway, he has a birthday party where he and his family members all show how annoying they are. Then the swamp creatures, including the frogs of the title, attack the family for revenge. Trapped in the middle of all this is innocent nature photographer Sam Elliott (sans mustache).I'm not quite sure why this was called Frogs. I mean, there are lots of frogs in it, but there are also snakes, lizards, birds, and so on. The frogs don't lead the revolt or anything. The '60s and '70s were full of movies with an ecological bent. Some of these were harmless dramas and family films about reconnecting with nature and stopping pollution. Others were like this, movies where animals attack people. If nothing else, these eco-horror movies usually had some nice scenery and animal footage.Screen legend Ray Milland seems very tired but still gives the most enjoyable performance in the film. I'm sure his presence in stuff like this gives some classic film fans a case of the sads. At least he was working and the part isn't particularly demeaning. Sam Elliott is fine as the hero and does remove his shirt a couple of times, which I'm sure will please the ladies. The only other noteworthy people in the cast are Judy Pace and a young, bubbly Joan Van Ark in her film debut. The little kid actors were especially weak.It's not a bad movie of its type. Deserving of some mockery but harmless enough. While I can't say it ever scared me, it does have some creepy parts. That's thanks to the eerie score and sound effects. The reptiles, amphibians, and such are never particularly frightening but I'm sure they will make some viewers flinch.

I thought it was great...for what it was. But, isn't that the appeal?? It kept me involved the WHOLE time!I see myself, and my little ones, laughing and watching this again! It kept us on our toes and on bated breath for the duration of the film. Watch this tonight! You won't be sorry. Unless you are one of the ones on the island. Nature always wins. The turtle was fierce. The plants behaved badly.Was I the only one that thought chickie looked weird in that monosuit at the beginning of the movie??? Um, the moss was a real treat. I thought I was seeing things at first lol.
