We now have a rating for ‘Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence’, and it’s right in line with the rest of the franchise.
The Killer Tomatoes are back this August with Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and we now have an official rating for the film.
The long-awaited fifth installment in the beloved series has been rated PG-13 for “language, some violent content, and suggestive material.“
That should hardly come as a surprise. The Killer Tomatoes series has always been geared towards a younger audience. It even had a short-lived animated series that ran from 1990-1991. Hell, I had toys of the angry little red guys that shot water when you squeezed them. A PG-13 rating is right in line with what the franchise should be…silly gateway horror.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Since its debut in 1978, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes has evolved into a cult pop culture phenomenon, spawning multiple feature films, a Saturday morning animated series, a Nintendo game, helping launch the career of George Clooney, and earning generations of devoted fans. Now, the franchise returns with a fresh chapter that blends its signature offbeat humor with a modern satire of biotechnology and artificial intelligence.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the U.S. beginning August 7, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, with additional cities to follow throughout the month. Specific theater listings and ticket information will be announced soon. Please visit the official website and social media channels for updates.
