I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Absolutely the worst movie.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Say what you want about the "Killer Tomato" flicks, but this particular entry does contain one of the better and more beautiful homage sequences to classic horror milestones that I've seen in a long, long time. There's a wondrous scene that spoofs/tributes "Jaws", "Psycho" and "The Omen" all at the same time. During a virulent tomato attack in the shower, both the uncomfortable tune of "Jaws" and the satanic music of "The Omen" can be heard. Very pleasant regardless of how stupid it sounds and looks. I seem to be watching the "Killer Tomato" franchise in reversed order. The fourth and thus far final episode "Killer Tomatoes Eat France" was the first film I watched – and admittedly quite liked – and this second sequel (the one NOT starring George Clooney in an early embarrassing role) is also my second acquaintance. This time, the killer tomatoes and their wacky master Dr. Gangrene are back. The crazed maniacal scientist now even hosts a TV talk show and fiendishly plots to take over the world via subliminal brainwash messages. The only people who are able to stop him are the sport-addicted detective Wilbur Finletter, who denies the existence of killer tomatoes, and the sexy female "tomatologist" Kennedi Johnson. Like with "Killer Tomatoes Eat France", the film relies on a handful of downright hilarious situations and genuinely clever gags, but the overall wholesome of the script is plot-free and juvenile. Personally, I find it very amusing to watch tomatoes wearing tiny little Jason Voorhees hockey masks or ninja outfits, but obviously you can't really refer to it as being a good film. John Astin obviously enjoys himself very much, as he purposely aims his over-the-top evil laughs directly into the camera and combs his longish hair in such a wild and unmannered style that he looks even more deranged. I guess it's because movies like this one that some brainiac invented the term "guilty pleasure".

More of the same, and why not? The first one was a pretty bad film, but you have to admit its concept was, uhm, daring and innovating. The second one was the same dumb fun, slightly better made, with even a couple of highlighting gags coming close to hilarious. This third film is as dumb as the second one, on a technical level pretty much on par with the second one, though less in hilarious outbursts. Either way, if you've had some laughs with the first two, I can't imagine you'll complain about this third entry. Silly, ridiculous, tacky, campy and... well, plain dumb actually. The people who made these films, own them. And they know it. I think the world hasn't seen the last of these Killer Tomatoes yet. For better or worse, that's for you to decide.Good Badness? Yes, if only for actually being funnier than "Munchies" (1987). 4/10 and 5/10

Unlike the others who have commented on this movie, I am not going to complain about it not being humorous or anything like that. (Before you go on, I want to remind you I am an insane, dumb, anime-obsessed 13-year-old who has nothing better to do, and I have not seen the other Killer Tomatoes movies.)This movie strikes me as rather dumb. To me, that's okay, because I like dumb movies. Dumb movies make me laugh, and I love to laugh. This one has to be the dumbest of them all, though. I mean, tomatoes trying to kill people? That may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. But that's why I like it - it's a strange idea overall and that makes it funny.

The story is absolutely not scary,but at times a little funny.POSSIBLE SPOILER: The plot is about angry tomatoes that kill people with small knives and chainsaws.The movie is very similar to all Leslie Nielsens movies,with the exception that Leslie Nielsen's movies are a lot more fun.If you have nothing better to do than spend 2 hours watching a bunch of angry tomatoes attack people you need help,and by that I mean professional help.I guess I laughed 3 times in the whole movie and all of them were when the tomatoes talked,It sounds like this"glubiopi dombi bumbiompi hompi"Don't see this movie unless you are really drunk or love ketchup.Ps:Can be scary for little kids.
