This Found Footage Horror Movie Is a Masterclass in Making the Absurd Terrifying

Even with the biggest budgets and the best special effects, it can be hard for a horror movie to make a ridiculous concept scary. Whether it be a failure to adapt the source material or a film not understanding its own premise, countless scary movies can't make the odd terrifying. Most of these failures are due to a lack of commitment from the project's creators; something that, luckily, the team behind Frogman had in spades. Directed by Anthony Cousins, this found footage horror sees a trio trying to track down a wild cryptid that one of them swears he saw years before. Their journey takes them down an insidious path filled with maniacal cults, strange magic, and of course, a huge frog.
