God of Frogs (2026) Review
Directed by Adrian Bobb and Ali Chappell, this bloody anthology nightmare begins in 1969 deep within a secluded riverside cult where a young woman, Lilith, becomes the unwilling vessel for an inhuman creature following a ritual encounter with a grotesque frog-like entity worshipped as a god.
Thus begins a recurring haunting that sees the vanishing of a film crew in 1994, a politician’s shocking on-air death in 2019 and the fiery collapse of a powerful corporation in 2044, with each tale bound together by the same ancient hunger.
As far as low-budget independent horror anthologies go, God of Frogs is better than most. That said it I would not strongly recommend it to you as it is still far from a must-see. However, for those of you that do decide upon this for your evening’s entertainment, you will find that its strengths outweigh most of its weaknesses.
As an opener, the 1969-based segment offers up little new in terms of portraying an American cult out the back of beyond, aside from the frog aspect, but fortunately the second segment picks up the pace and improves the picture quality, and I then found myself getting into its groove. The man-frog beast is decent and there is a huge nod to an iconic moment from David Fincher’s much-maligned Alien 3 – you will know it when you see it – and I was now curious to see where things went next.
After starting off weakly God of Frogs kept the momentum going and made for a decent watch, which is until the final part of the anthology set in 2044. Narratively there is nothing wrong with it, it is the constant shouting that wears you down. Not one line of dialogue is delivered by the cast at anything other than top volume. I get that the situation they are facing is tense and life-threatening, but shouting is not the most effective way to portray this. I could not wait for the man-sized frog beast to gruesomely dispatch every one of them, and for the most part it did.
