Frogs is a 1972 American horror film directed by George McCowan.

The film falls into the “eco-horror” category, telling the story of a wildlife photographer who meets an upper-class U.S. Southern family who are victimized by several different animal species, including snakes, birds, lizards, and butterflies. The movie suggests nature may be justified in exacting revenge on this family because of its patriarch’s abuse of the local ecology.

The film was theatrically released on March 10, 1972.

A reviewer from Horror News.net found it odd for a horror film to be titled Frogs when all the killings in the film are done by animals other than frogs and discussed the acting: “Sam Elliott is good as always. He manages to feel like the outsider while also feeling like part of the group. It makes his role work in ways that it might not work in someone else’s control. Ray Milland is also fairly good as the patriarch of the Crockett family. He personifies that bullheaded ‘you listen to me because I’m always right’ attitude in such a believable manner that you think he is that guy. The rest of the cast isn’t as great as these two, but their lack of good performance only helps to make their deaths more fun to watch. They overact or underact in the perfect ways to make the movie priceless.
