Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!

1978 · 87 min

A gleefully silly spoof that plays its absurd premise deadpan, inviting you to laugh at the shoddy charm rather than be scared.

Overview: After a wave of reports of mysterious attacks involving people and pets being eaten by the traditionally docile fruit, a special government task force is set up to investigate the violent fruit and put a stop to their murderous spree.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, satirical and light. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Media, politics, conspiracy, survival
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
