Summary: Frog Man of Legend
Comment: A man recounts a tale of his childhood when a legendary monster known as Rana by local Native Americans came out of the lake for vengeance.

In the end we have been treated to the tale of Rana and now the man will venture into the lake to look for the gold that the natives had offered as tribute to Rana.

The creature is a frog man (Rana means frog) and pretty unstoppable. A pretty standard rubber suit creature that works as well as it does by never letting the audience get a good look at it. The writing is about what one would expect from a very low-budget film (I especially liked when the scientist referred to frogs as lizards).

In a way, this reminded me of The Legend of Boggy Creek but without the documentary style. But still we had the narrator return to his childhood haunts where he had encountered a monster.

Summary: one of the best worst movies ever made
Comment: For those who love terrible films, like me, this is a must-see. The whole story is a delightfully lame flashback. The plot is simple, which is necessary for such a low-budget film. The frogman costumes were incredibly unreal, and the violence even less so. "Rana" is definitely on my top ten list, along with such greats as "Horror Hospital", and "Die,Sister,Die!".
