14 Movie Posters And DVD Covers That Blatantly Lied To You

13. Frogs

Fantastic Four WTF Poster
American International Pictures

If you’ve ever gone through the horror section of Netflix, you’ve probably seen the poster for this particularly weird little movie. On it, there’s a giant frog with a human hand sticking out of its mouth, suggesting firmly that this will probably be a crappy B-movie about huge, killer frogs. Sounds kind of fun, right?

Sadly, the movie itself can’t even manage to live up to that extremely low bar.

If you watch the movie, you'll be surprised to see that there are no giant frogs in it at all. Plus, the perspective on this poster is all wrong, as the frogs are just normal sized in the film. Not only that, but at no point do the frogs actually kill anyone.

So, despite the poster promising giant killer frogs, it instead provides regular sized, non-violent frogs.

The only scene that comes close sees a man become so scared by a bunch of frogs that he has a heart attack, but it’s not like they actually kill him directly as is implied by that hand on the cover. Instead, practically every animal but frogs kill people, including snakes, birds, spiders, lizards, leeches, and alligators.

It’s like some sort of sick joke: a movie called Frogs that goes out of its way to have as few frogs as possible.
