A mad scientist dealing with mutant tomatoes from space. Another variation of "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers" this time in a comic-splatter version; it's the second chapter of "Attack of the killer tomatoes" unreleased in Italy. If you loved "Bad taste" and similar films, then you might also like this one (though, to be fair, it's more shoddy and less gruesome than Jackson's film), otherwise stay away. Trivia: in the cast also appears a young and still unknown George Clooney.
