NATURE STRIKES BACK!




















Adam Roarke, Lynn Borden and a young Sam Elliott sign autographs for a young fan at a preview screening of Frogs (1972) in Panama City, Florida, near the locations where the film was shot. Re-watched this eco-horror yesterday in honour of co-star Lynn Borden, who passed away om March the 3rd. Love it's swampy atmosphere and locations, Ray Milland's performance as a cranky, pig-headed Southern patriarch, and its overall atmosphere of strangeness. Borden looks beautiful on screen, as does Joan Van Ark, and strange to see Sam Elliott with no facial hair or grey streaks! He makes a solid eco-horror action hero, though.
