Film #9: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1978)


Plot - I laughed at this movie sometimes! It has perhaps the greatest (and slowest) car chase sequence in cinema history.

Form - Amateurishness, but that's a good thing here.

F/X - The tomatoes are crazy! They're big, they're small, they're fat, they're tall, they're all over the place!


Acting - Bad to great. 


Mise en scene - Lots of tomatoes, little else.


Quotables - Countless. The songs are pretty catchy, especially "Puberty Love".


Cool stuff - Idiotic Jaws parody sequence, ads randomly thrown into the movie for gags, making fun of the families of tomato-murder victims, etc. In spite of the "horror" aspect, it manages to keep everything family friendly. A winner!


5.5/7
