01
The Food of the Gods
Why this pick
Like Frogs, this is a compact 1970s eco-horror fable in which human interference with nature produces oversized, hostile wildlife and a satisfyingly pulpy siege atmosphere.

02
Day of the Animals
Why this pick
It shares Frogs’ revenge-of-nature mood, ensemble of imperiled visitors, and bright outdoor setting gradually turned into a scrappy, paranoid creature-feature nightmare.
03
Kingdom of the Spiders
Why this pick
This has the same low-budget 1970s ecological dread: ordinary landscapes, a steadily mounting animal threat, and nature becoming an inescapable force against complacent humans.
04
Prophecy
Why this pick
It expands Frogs’ pollution-and-retribution premise into a more serious wilderness horror, pairing environmental contamination with a tense creature threat and uneasy human responsibility.
05
The Nest
Why this pick
A later, gleefully nasty variation on the same formula: chemical meddling turns familiar pests into a local catastrophe, with practical creature effects and escalating small-town panic.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Jason Crockett is an aging, grumpy, physically disabled millionaire who invites his family to his island estate for his birthday celebration. Pickett Smith is a free-lance photographer who is doing a pollution layout for an ecology magazine. Jason Crockett hates nature, poisoning anything that crawls on his property. On the night of his birthday the frogs and other members of nature begin to pay Crockett back.
