I only saw this movie because a co-worker brought up the topic about the Loveland, Ohio Frogman. Founded back in the 1960s, it was allegedly spotted by a police officer on road patrol. He chased the creature, calling it "half-man, half-frog," into the Miami River. Since then, the Loveland Frogman has become a folk legend and nightmare tale like Point Pleasant's Mothman and USS Nightmare. The movie does not reveal too much of who or what the Frogman really is. Rather, it brings this being to video and opens up its awareness. The video is not the best of quality. Yes, audio levels in between shots do not match, shots are shaky and underexposed, and even some of the acting is over the top and hokey. However, this does not mean it is not fun. All shot, edited, and acted by high schoolers, this is a pre-college short worth seeing. I wished when I was in high school I had the chance to partake in a project like this.

A group of friends go kayaking on the Little Miami River and encounter something strange, and a man who is even stranger. Then the quest begins to uncover whether or not the Frogmen of Loveland are real.

Yes, this isn't a "great" movie. However, when one looks at it for what it is, a movie made by High Schoolers? It is actually pretty impressive. The acting isn't perfect, but it is far better than any number of movies that I've seen independently sold on DVD to unsuspecting consumers.

This one? Actually a little fun and I admit to being pleasantly surprised. Well worth watching. Filmed on location in Loveland.
