Frogs gets points for its most straightforward of titles, but what the heck --
there are killer lizards, spiders, and snakes here too, in addition to the
giant frogs marauding a small island house and its residents.
"What if nature were trying to get back at us?" the film asks, before the Birds
-reminscent attack begins? (The frogs are enhanced due to pesticide over-use.)
Look no further than Ray Milland's typical reaction: "I don't think there's
much to worry about..." His family's so self-obsessed they barely notice when
members start dying off.
Ridiculous (gosh, those spider webs look like Spanish moss!), yet inexplicably
watchable.
