Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Now I know that there are some folks out there who simply do not like their vegetables. One viewing of Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes and you will swear off pasta, ketchup and all kinds of tomato products forever and ever.The notion here is that as they would say on Star Trek TNG tomatoes have become sensient beings. Their consciousness of self has brought a killer instinct to the plants as they absorb Blob like all other kinds of life. Can humankind survive the onslaught of the tomatoes?This was supposed to be a spoof of science fiction films. But sad to say it was brought to the screen by as untalented a group of players as have ever gathered. The direction they get ain't so hot either. Supposedly funny scenes are delivered badly as punch lines and situations are flubbed almost regularly.It's just all around bad folks. Unless you are a glutton for punishment skip this one.

"What if TOMATOES attacked people?! That would be ridiculous! Ya know, because food isn't sentient! HAHAHAHA!" I honestly don't think anyone making this thought any harder than that. Other than a few non-sequitur, ZAZ-esque jokes, it's boring and flat and lazy. I would've thrown tomatoes at the screen, except that's what the movie would probably want and I don't wanna give it that pleasure.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! (1978) * (out of 4) A small community comes under attack by some mutants tomatoes. The police can't do anything and none of the locals know what to do so it's up to a group of scientists to try and stop the madness.ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES!, as the title clearly suggests, isn't a film that's meant to be taken serious. This here basically spoofs countless horror movies but the killer here are little tomatoes. Comedy is a very funny thing because it's so subjective on so many levels. Everyone will have their own level of taste and everyone has their own comedy level where they're willing to laugh.For me, I give this film a lot of credit for trying to be as stupid as possible and there's no question that it tries to be as silly as possible. Sadly, to me this is a pretty poor film because it simply didn't make me laugh. I laughed at maybe three percent of the jokes so I felt that the majority of them fell flat. The tomato attack sequences just didn't work as comedy and I thought most of them were rather stupid. Again, some will find the idea of tomatoes attacking to be very funny. It just wasn't for me.

All the tomatoes of the US come to life grown to large proportions and are attacking and devouring housewives.It's up to Mason Dixon to stop the revolt of tomatoes.His group includes a master of disguise,a Russian Olympic swimmer,an underwater specialist who always wears his scuba suit and a soldier who always wears his parachute.Extremely kitschy comedy with few corny horror elements involving ketchup.The film-makers obviously intended "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" to be bad as the plot is filled with terrible acting and laughable dialogue.The film is truly stupid beyond belief.Followed by three inferior sequels:"Return Of The Killer Tomatoes!","Killer Tomatoes Strike Back!" and "Killer Tomatoes Eat France!" and an animated series plus videogame.6 killer tomatoes out of 10.
