Attack of the Killer Tomatoes trailer hits VOD now


The legend is back. After more than three decades of dormancy, the franchise that redefined low-budget horror comedy—the notorious saga of the killer tomatoes—has returned, this time grappling with the very fabric of modern science. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence is officially available on Video On Demand, inviting fans to see if this new batch of produce is worth the cult hype.

Directed by David Ferino, this latest installment takes the beloved, chaotic world of killer vegetables and throws it headfirst into the age of artificial intelligence and biotechnology. The premise is ripe for absurdity: a young biotech prodigy attempts to create a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable, only to unleash a new generation of murderous tomatoes that spiral out of control, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the series.

For those who grew up on the original 1978 parody, this modern iteration offers a delightfully familiar blend of camp and horror. It’s a welcome return for the franchise, proving that killer produce and cutting-edge science still make for brilliant, if slightly unsettling, entertainment. Reviewers have given it a solid 7/10, hailing it as a fun ride for longtime fans of goofy comedies.

The lineage of killer tomatoes is deep. The original film kicked off a reign of terror that spawned three live-action sequels, including Return of the Killer Tomatoes, Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and Killer Tomatoes Eat France. The franchise has expanded far beyond the screen, spawning an animated television series, popular video games, and a treasure trove of merchandise. Even stars like George Clooney made an appearance in one of the sequels, demonstrating the enduring appeal of this bizarre cinematic universe.

In Organic Intelligence, the madness continues, bringing back familiar faces. John Astin returns as the iconic Professor Gangreen, the mad scientist who has been woven into the fabric of the franchise for decades. The film is packed with familiar energy, featuring a talented ensemble cast including David Koechner, Eric Roberts, Catherine Corcoran, Daniel Roebuck, and many others.

The cinematic team behind the spectacle includes director David Ferino, alongside producers Michael Polis and Roger M. Mayer, and original franchise contributors Costa Dillon and Steve Peace. The movie is rated PG-13 for language, suggestive material, and some violent content.

If you want to experience this cinematic throwback, streaming is easy. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence is now available for digital rental and purchase on major platforms including Amazon/Fandango at Home, Apple/iTunes, and Google Play, as well as participating cable and satellite providers.

But the fun doesn’t stop on the screen. The killer tomatoes are also making a big splash at fan conventions. The film will be featured at New York Comic Con, where fans can find the franchise and Organic Intelligence merchandise at Atomic Toybox’s Booth #1771. The convention team is also planning a panel at L.A. Comic Con during Halloween weekend, ensuring that the cult legacy of killer produce remains alive and thriving.
