Horror Movie Review: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

Starring: David Miller, George Wilson, Al Sklar, Gary Smith, Sharon Taylor, and J. Stephen Peace

Release Date: October 1978

Let's face it. You sit down to watch a movie like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, you know what you're getting into. It's not going to be serious and it's not going to be a bonanza of the best film making practices. The point here is to have fun and if the mic gets in the shot, who cares, that's kind of the point.

What you have here is a spoof of the great sci-fi radioactive monster movies. It directly spoofs The Blob and Jaws, but you can find similarities to such greats as Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959) and Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman.




The government, trying to create a better tomato, accidentally created mutant killer tomatoes. They are predominantly normal sized tomatoes with the ability to kill, but there are also a few giant tomatoes, stronger and deadlier. They are devious, crawling up through plumbing to catch housewives unaware and coming from under the ocean waves to kill unsuspecting swimmers. In response, the government puts together a special force to combat the tomato menace: disguise master Sam Smith, Lt. Wilbur Finletter, and lead by Mason Dixon. Meanwhile, journalist Lois Fairchild tries to get to the bottom of the tomato scourge while Ted Swan tries to spin the chaos for the president.



The jokes are funny and un-PC. "Technically sir, tomatoes are fags."
"He means fruits."

The gags are slapstick and silly, and in the end...it's a great deal of fun. Yes, the effects are cheesey, but they're supposed to be. Sit back and let the tomfoolery...or would that be tomato-foolery...take you away.

Horror Movie Review: Black Sheep

Black Sheep

Starring: Nathan Meister, Peter Feeney, Danielle Mason, Tammy Davis, and Tandi Wright

Director: Jonathan King

Written by: Jonathan King

Release Date: September 10, 2006

Awards: the Audience Award and the Special Jury Prize at the Gérardmer Film Festival, and the Achievement in Make-Up Design in Film and Achievement in Sound Design in Film awards at the New Zealand Film and TV Awards.




Two brothers inherit a sheep farm in New Zealand. One brother, Henry, suffers from a debilitating fear of sheep. The other, Angus, is a bit of an ass. So Henry returns to the family for one reason...sell his portion to older brother Angus.




But as sheep farmers around the world know, things don't go quite as planned. First the Oldfield farm is visited by Grant and Experience, animal rights activists out to let the Oldfield know they disapprove of their practices. Grant ends up stealing a biological sample being sent to be disposed of, but in escaping the security, Grent falls and breaks the cannister. Thus the horror begins as the creature in the container bites Grant and shambles off to bite other sheep. The result? Killer sheep and weresheep!


As you can guess with anything containing killer sheep, Black Sheep is horror comedy. Like when farm hand Tucker asks Henry, "What about the sheep?" and Henry responds, "Fuck the sheep." Tucker's response is perfect, "No time for that, bro. Go, go, go!"

It's also got some good gore as Experience and Henry try and cross the sheep infested farm witnessing countless sheep eating people.

The genetically engineered sheep of Angus's employee Dr. Rush keep the thrills and chills going. Just don't watch this film before going out to feed your sheep...trust me.
