Long-Awaited Sequel to Cult-Classic '70s Sci-Fi Finally Debuts Trailer
MovieWeb marks the first trailer for Organic Intelligence, the fifth Killer Tomatoes film, nearly five decades after the 1978 original.
MovieWeb’s take doubles as a defence of the whole enterprise. Editor Patrick Cavanaugh argues that in an era of grim, self-serious revivals, this sequel is refreshing precisely because it knows exactly what it is.
The article makes a pointed observation about a film whose villain is runaway artificial intelligence: it was made with practical effects and real people, not AI-assisted production. The tomatoes are real objects. That is the joke, and also the method.
On the plot, MovieWeb sticks to the official line — a biotech prodigy’s genetically engineered vegetable gets away from him — and lists David Koechner, Eric Roberts, Catherine Corcoran, Dan Bakkedahl, Myrna Velasco, Vernée Watson, Paul Bates and a returning John Astin.
It also situates the film as the fifth entry, after Return of the Killer Tomatoes!, Killer Tomatoes Strike Back! and Killer Tomatoes Eat France!
