In an old mansion located on a private island in the Florida Everglades, the Crockett family has assembled on the Fourth of July to celebrate the birthday of Jason Crockett (Milland), its wheelchair-bound patriarch. Uninvited, however, are the thousands of frogs, snakes, turtles, and lizards that take over the island, causing havoc. An attempt to capitalize on the success of WILLARD (1971), this silly-sounding revenge-of-nature film is surprisingly effective, with director McCowan opting simply to have normal-sized animals attack human beings--albeit in staggering numbers--instead of making the creatures atomically mutated giants (although the film's advertising was a bit misleading, showing a bullfrog with a human hand sticking out of its mouth). In fact, the film offers no explanation at all for the attacks, making it reminiscent of Hitchcock's THE BIRDS (1963). leave a comment
