Movie Reviews of Return of the Killer Tomatoes / Return to Horror High
Movie Review: 80's version of horror spoof
Summary: 3 Stars
If you like the "Scary Movie" spoofs of "Scream" and other horror films and are a George Clooney fan, you'll like "Return of the Killer Tomatoes." It is good for when you want to watch a movie and want to laugh out loud. The companion piece "Return to Horror High" was too campy and was not good
Summary of Return of the Killer Tomatoes / Return to Horror High
Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 09/25/2007 Run time: 192 minutesYou're not going to believe this, but Return of the Killer Tomatoes is a genuinely funny movie. Ten years after John DeBello made the frowzy, low-budget Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, he brought the fleshy fruit back for a murderous encore. Like the first film, it works as a parody of horror-movie conventions (and it repeatedly makes fun of itself, Mad-magazine style), but this time the budget is higher. There's a great, ongoing send-up of product placement, plus a juicy role for the oft-underutilized John Astin, as the evil genius this kind of movie needs. Just to keep everything moving, another exploitation film keeps cutting in: Big-Breasted Girls Go to the Beach and Take Their Tops Off. It ain't high art, but this movie knows its audience. A young George Clooney plays one of the heroes.
Return to Horror High is a convoluted cheesefest that tries to be spoof and horror movie at the same time, feebly prefiguring Scream. A movie crew is filming a slasher picture at a high school where a series of murders actually occurred; the killings begin again--or are they simply staged for the production? The answer to this question is distinctly uninvolving, but it involves a lot of fake blood. Familiar faces include Vince Edwards and Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick (a uniformed cop), plus--until he becomes the first victim--George Clooney. --Robert Horton
