Noor Razooky Interview: Behind the Killer Tomatoes Chaos

Noor Razooky on playing Angela, the San Diego roots she shares with the franchise, improvising on an independent set, and why slapstick deserves another look.

The Fear Review November 6, 2026 10 min read

The Fear Review sat down with Noor Razooky, who plays Angela in Organic Intelligence, for a long conversation about joining a franchise she had not grown up with and then having to take killer tomatoes entirely seriously.

Razooky tells William Howard that she came to the films through a San Diego connection — she was born and raised there, and so was the franchise — by way of a friend of a friend who knew co-creator Steve Peace. The deep dive turned up the Game Boy game, the Fox Kids cartoon, four prior films and George Clooney's first leading role. Reading the script, she found a kind of comedy she thinks has gone missing: "Movies aren't funny like that anymore."

WATCH THE FULL CONVERSATION

The rest covers finding Angela's personality, improvising on an ambitious independent production, and one piece of physical comedy the reviewers stopped and rewound mid-screening. Read the full interview at The Fear Review.

Regardless of how you came upon the franchise, odds are you laughed while watching it, yet still wondered who was crazy enough to execute the idea in the first place. It has garnered quite the cult following, and these facts about Attack of the Killer Tomatoes might explain why.
