Found Footage Friday is back and this week we have an absolute favorite of mine with Frogman. This cryptid flick has everything you want: Frogman has a wand! Frogman is psychic! Frogman FUCKS!!!

All of these are true.

Also true is that Frogman creator Anthony Cousins (also the director) and John Karsko took a page out of one of the best horror flicks of all time when it came to the opening of their film. The film? Night of the Demon or Curse of the Demon (depending on which side of the Pond you live on). The page? Night of the Demon shows us the demon within the first five minutes of the film. There is no, “Is it real?” drama in the film. The audience is asked to take the creature as fact and then the rest of the film, filled with witchcraft and sorceries, seems far more plausible. Frogman also shows us the signature cryptid within the first five minutes and that allows what follows to really shine and develop. Yes, Jaws is still a masterwork of storytelling, but there is something to be said for NOT hiding the monster or antagonist of your film. It changes the pace of the journey and allows for a deeper dive into what the Frogman actually is, and does it ever!
