Attack of the Killer Tomatoes! Reviews

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a fine comedy horror flick that spoofs the monster genre of films. The premise of this film is simple, yet somewhat effective. This film is one of the most underrated comedy horror flicks that I've seen. This is a good film that doesn't deserve the flack it has received, sure the film is ridiculous, but it intentionally does it. Everything about the film is over the top. The film plays out like a parody, and it does it very well. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is one of the most original horror comedies I've seen. This is the perfect comedy horror flick for the horror fan looking for a ridiculous B movie. This film is quite underrated and should be seen as a good B movie that spoofs 1950's monster flicks. The film is one of the most original horror comedies and is pure fun from start to finish. Everything you see is done on purpose, and that's what makes this what it is. I can't state this enough, this is a good B movie that is a definite must see for fans of comedy horror. The acting is cheesy, and the premise is more than just silly. If you enjoy a good, cheesy comedy horror flick, then look no further than this film. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is good fun, despite the fact that its beyond silly. If you're going into this film expecting a great film, you'll be sadly disappointed. On the other hand, if you're expecting a film that's so bad, it's good then this is definitely your film. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is one memorable comedy horror flick that delivers a great time. A flawed film, but definitely enjoyable.

This movie is hilarious. It's sort of a spoof on the giant animal/insect craze of the 50s, but it's also funny in other ways too. If you love spoof movies or goofy comedies in general, I highly recommend this one.

what a great film. the pinnacle of ridiculousness. just pure insanity.

A parody of cultish bad B-movies that became a cult film in its own right. Not good enough for a parody, not even "good" enouhg to be as much fun as the films it's mocking.

No, it wasn't perfect. Name me one movie that is, honestly. But, come on. I see a lot of crud about this being "Unwatchable," and "Awful," and in some cases "The worst movie ever." Well, really. The only way anyone could possibly think that about AotKT is if they have absolutely no sense of humour. I'm 22, I just saw it for the first time, I loved it. If you like Mel Brooks movies, this is pretty similar. They took an idea (Hitchcock's The Birds), twisted it into something more obscure and off the wall (Tomatoes), and had a good time making fun of every little cliché of the horror genre, and then some.

If you, like another reviewer on here, watch two minutes of it and decide you're done with it, then I can't imagine you watch many movies at all. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie that had my interest thoroughly grabbed in the first two minutes. The top best-selling movies EVER all failed to grab my interest within the first two minutes, and yet, I ended up liking them. So, my points are twofold; One, don't be a wuss, if you're going to watch this movie at all, actually watch it. Don't watch it for thirty seconds and say "Ugh, how corny, I'm ditching this." Two, consider what you expect out of movies in general, but especially this one.

Most people watch movies to have fun, and be entertained. If you watch AotKT for those reasons, you'll find it enjoyable. Some people apparently watch movies demanding to be blown away by every aspect of it, and come out of it raving like they've had an epiphany. Don't do that. Ever.

... Anyway. Yeah. This is about half-comment, half-rant, but so be it. I found AotKT enjoyable; if you watch it expecting a satire of horror and an entertaining watch, you'll get it. If you're expecting to be left convulsing on the floor feeling like life has no meaning since it peaked at seeing the movie; then you should try something habit-forming.

Oh my god, this is the best movie ever. From the text crawl at the beginning to the ridiculousness of the premise, to the wonderfully hilarious theme song, there's really almost nothing not to like about this movie. When I saw it in the video store I thought it was going to be a sincere schlock monster movie, but it's a comedy and it knows it's a comedy. There are no giant, Audrey 2-esque man-eating fruits here- they're just garden variety (literally) tomatoes that decide to rise up against humans, for some reason. I love how people shoot at them rather than stomp them. I love how the first victim screams in horror at a tomato rolling towards her. I love how no one thinks to just pick up an attacking orb and eat it. Apparently there aren't too many salad eaters in this county. The visual jokes are a little campy and reminded me a little of Airplane!, but all in all this movie amused me to no end.

Oh man, this was so stupid but kinda funny.

omg i have to say that i am one of the sad people that have seen this ts so crap it says it in the name reli

The titles are quite good but that's all. It's just not funny.
There are much funnier films than this which don't even try to be. Even the rubbish that Troma produces can be more entertaining.
This is definitely the worst movie of all time.

Cheap and silly, but it had a lot of heart. Every growing kid needs to see this at least once. Great opening sequence. I totally loved the "Puberty Love" song they played. The tomatoes were a bit inconsistent from scene to scene. What budget?

This was funny but not as funny as I thought it would be. The Superman joke in it was pretty good.

Quite possibly the worst motion picture in the history of cinema. It's like... the regurgitated vomit of a student filmmaker that had ingested too many David Zucker and disaster flicks. Sometimes clever dialogue is cut down by poor sound quality, and the editing pace is as close to comatose as a movie can be. Almost enough to make me lose my faith in low-budget filmmaking, this abomination should have been put out of its (and our) misery a long time ago.

Stupid and cheesey to the max, but still manages to deliver some genuinely funny bits and pieces. Ultimately tries a little too hard though, and more times than not the humour just falls flat. The whole things loses its charm by the half way point too, and stops being funny altogether. Yeah not much else to say about this one. Couldn't have really been better. The premise is just too thin, and there isn't enough here to spread across the length of an entire movie. I found this a little offensive actually, as it really is just poking fun at low budget horror. Some of us actually think that independent horror is a lot more pure and truthful form of expression than big budget bullshit. Ah well, take it for what it is. Intentional retardation, and post modernist sarcastic fluff.

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" is the silliest comedies/sci-fi/horror movie I have ever seen. It is not funny at all. but it does have a few hilarious and insane moments that made it worth watching at least once(I won´t again).
The premise is very cheesy but it's entertaining if you are into low budget. REMEMBER that this is a B-movie and I suppose that it was intended to be the worst movie ever made, but there are other movies that are the worst unintentionally.

Some of it was funny and the tomato idea in general was funny, but mostly it was just really boring. I realize what the movie was doing, but I just don't think it was entertaining enough.

San Diego 1975. John De Bello was an ordinary man. He paid his taxes and helped his landlady carry out her garbage. But one night he decided to watch a Monty Python, Naked Gun and Pink Panther marathon.

He was not seen for a year after that.

San Diego 1977. John De Bello returned and was found covered in mustard attempting to eat his chimney. He was taken into care and his house searched.

Nothing seemed unusual or out of place until they found a reel of film placed precariously atop seven sharpened pencils.

This is that film.

this has got to be one of my fav B movies and also one of the funniest about of course killer tomatoes i highly recommend this to anyone that loves cult classics or b movies. this movie also spawned 3 sequals and one cartoon

OK, this movie is bad. Quite bad. But it's so damn fun! One of my favorite "so bad is kinda good" movies.

So utterly stupid but great.;

Just watched this movie again after not seeing it for 20 years, and I must say Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is classic old school brilliance. In it's day, this movie was quite a thrill, and I still get a thrill out of seeing it today. When I was a kid, this movie made me think twice about eating tomatoes. If you are interested in older movies... movies that completely left impressions for decades to come, then this is a must see / must add to your collection.
