Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - 25th Anniversary Edition

Buy This Item Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - 25th Anniversary Edition by Rhino Theatrical  Available from Amazon  $9.99  on 11-16-2008     Movies with "wacky" titles are almost never any good, and <I>Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!</I> was intentionally made to be an instant golden turkey. Despite that, and the grade-Z production values, this is a regularly funny film. You need to be a fan of the kind of low-budget horror movie it's spoofing, and you need to be very forgiving of the technical ineptness and frequent clunkers, but it works. The story? Well, tomatoes attack, basically. Jack Riley and the San Diego Chicken are in it, and that genuinely alarming helicopter crash you see in an early scene was a real accident. Seen now, the whole ratty affair brings back agreeable memories of the circa-1978 college-movie/midnight-cinema era, when seeing this film was virtually unavoidable. The sequel, <I>Return of the Killer Tomatoes!</I> (with a young George Clooney), is actually an even funnier film. Director John De Bello would continue to squeeze the <I>Tomatoes</I> franchise for years to come. <I>--Robert Horton</I> Reader Reviews THIS is the worst horror movie of all-time. Either that or the best comedy movie of all-time. I can't decide which. Many years ago, soon after the movie was released as a VCR tape, my family rented the movie for us all to sit down one Saturday night and watch. We were all too busy laughing at the extremely cheesy action scenes of tomatoes actually attacking people. One scene showed a bunch of tomatoes attacking a dead woman on the floor. This is nothing but the silliest, cheesiest, and most bizarre film there probably is or ever WILL be. Maybe that's why people still remember it today. The positive reviews are probably just because people actually enjoy watching it... and in fact, that's why I'm giving it 5 stars too, haha. That's the ONLY reason though.
