2025 movie #139. 1979. 200 years after the robot wars, nevermind. You don't watch a movie like this for the plot you watch it for the cheese. For Jack Palance chewing the scenery; the cheap SFX; for Carol Lynley (totally wasted here). BTW, HG Wells had nothing to to with this. Star Trek score, sadly 0. Maybe because it was made in Canada and they couldn't affore Bill Shatner.
A film starring Ray Milland and Sam Elliott (American International Pictures, 1972).

A rich family are killed by snakes and lizards.

F (Terrible).

This isn't bad in a fun way, it's just incompetent. You have to assume they went in with some idea of a movie they were going to make, but I couldn't guess what that was. Titling it "Frogs" was marketing genius, though.

(Oct. 2022)
3.2 Rating on IMDB is impressive. I may need a joint to appreciate this.
