      Cast is generally firstclass and Milland’s presence, though comparatively brief, is always commanding.

      Frogs, which is not to be confused with The Birds for an instant, is an end-of-the-world junk movie, photographed rather prettily in Florida and acted by Milland as if he were sight-reading random passages from the dictionary.

      An attempt to capitalize on the success of WILLARD (1971), this silly-sounding revenge-of-nature film is surprisingly effective.
