Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at animal lovers and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Shelve it next to The Taking of Deborah Logan or Ginger Snaps.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

The first film to expose unsolved wildlife deformity outbreaks and where they may lead. Based on a true unsolved ecological mystery, thousands of hideously deformed frogs have turned up in the waters of Minnesota. As seen through the eyes of a one hit wonder single mother and her 11 year old son, a small town struggles with the unknown when the deadly mutations move beyond the ponds.
