The great nuclear holocaust has come and gone, and humanity is hanging on a string. Women rule what's left, and the world is filled with giant mutant humanoid frogs who have started their own communities. Fertile human males have become one of the rarest things on Earth. This really low-budget sci-fi adventure chronicles the exploits of one of those men, the wandering loner Sam Hell (as played by former wrestler Rowdy Roddy Piper). The tale begins as Hell is caught and tried for raping a woman. Realizing that he is fertile, Medtech, the organization devoted to repopulating the world, takes him and forces him to wear high-tech underwear designed to control his lusty tendencies and to keep him from squandering his seed on infertile ladies. The organization then forces him to go deep into froggy territory to bring back the fertile women stolen by the amphibian's leader. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Hell Comes to Frogtown is considered one of the great midnight films by B-movie connoisseurs. Featuring the talents of Roddy Piper and Sandahl Bergman, Anchor Bay has put some decent time and work into this small yet fun title. Presented for the first time anamorphically in 1.85:1 widescreen, =Hell Comes to Frogtown looks about as good as it's probably ever going to get. Though the image was often grainy, the transfer retains a nice look that should surprise fans of the film. Featuring bold colors and dark blacks, =Hell Comes to Frogtown is leaps and bounds above the VHS copies floating around in video stores. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround and its quality is very middle of the road. The track is nothing spectacular, but even with its imperfections, the dialogue, music, and effects are always clear and concise.
=Hell Comes to Frogtown also features two small but fun supplemental features. The first is a commentary track by director Donald G. Jackson and writer Randall Frakes. For fans of the movie, this will be an indispensable track filled with information and behind-the-scenes stories. Both men are very chatty and genuinely enjoy the movie they've created. The second feature is a theatrical trailer that definitely doesn't take itself too seriously. Anchor Bay has done a wonderful job on this disc and should be commended for putting forth so much effort on such a low-budget title. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
