Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (1979)
Director: John DeBello
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
One-joke spoof on that B movie staple of the '50s, monstrously enlarged scientific mutations. The big red ones have their way with corrupt politicians and (via bloody Bloody Marys) housewife tipplers, while the pastiche '50s soundtrack croons 'I know I'm gonna miss her, a tomato ate my sister'.Author: CR
