Frogs (1972)

I watched this earlier today. I also loved The Thing With Two Heads. Can anyone suggest some more Ray Milland horror?

"X the man with x ray eyes" is a good one.

His last role I believe was as sire uri on the original battlestar galactica premier.

He actually acted beyond that into the 1980s if you can believe it. One of his last parts was in a movie called The Sea Serpent, which going by photos of the monster would be right at home on this site. I'd love to check that out sometime if pops up on YouTube or something. I doubt I'd pay much if anything to see it.

Well I'll believe you , tho given how he looked in battlestar galactica it looked like he was pretty close to the end.

Ray Milland if you look him up on IMDB has him acting in films ranging from the late 1920's into like i think (1984) i want to say? or (1986) around there anyways. so he acted quite a long ass time. this is a decent film i watched this like a year or two ago i think it was? not as good as i hoped it would be but also not as bad as i feared it would be either

Yeah, Milland is actually best known for his movies in the 1940s and 1950s. Especially The Lost Weekend, which deserves a lot of praise despite a weak ending. I'm most interested right now in his later career though especially his horror stuff :)

Frogs was pretty entertaining. I was hoping it would be truer to the title and the way it was advertised. Have some giant man eating frogs. While it didn't deliver on that it was very atmospheric and had some fun acting. Much better than I'd imagine if it was made today. I could imagine a remake having killer frogs and it being done for laughs with excessive blood.

that's how i thought it was going to be as well. i love his horror stuff too, have you seen his (1962) film Premature Burial? it's well worth watching i'm huge Roger Corman nut and he directed that one  i believe. others he did was Dial M for Murder the (1954) classic that's worth it too. looking at his filmography he did one in (1977) called The Uncanny i have a copy of that actually but i haven't watched it all yet as it's not very good, Peter Cushing is it's star i believe. and it's got a huge theme on Cats.

i know it's been said already but i love X-The man with the X-Ray eyes that's such a damn good film. can you believe a few years ago they were going to do that as damn comedy with Eddie Murphy? i am so glad they didn't. one he did that i saw that was Decent was (1969)'s Daughters of the Mind a tv movie that also had John Carradine.  it was a decent film but nothing special and quite forgettable cause i watched that a few years back and i can't remember anything about it. it's that forgettable but not painful to watch i will give it that.

I love FROGS !

the PREMATURE BURIAL is also a fine Roger Corman film with Ray.

I was watching this film when I found out my wife has a fear of frogs.

And here's another one who recommends seeing it. Not only for Ray Milland's performance, but, also because it features one of the few theatrical appearances of the late Don Rickles. Who, if you see it, can be heard voicing Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 4.  The powers that be were not going to include him in the film, but, Rickles' family wanted this is to be last big screen appearance, so enough outtakes from the previous films and video games were found, so he could be included in the film.

i'd recommend that one too, it gave me nightmares as a child.

DON RICKLES isn't in FROGS...?  Is he?

According to Hollywood legend, when ray miland was offered a role in this movie he asked why anyone was making a horror movie about the French.
