Attack of the Killer Tomatoes - 1/23/18
MVD Rewind Collection #2: Attack of the Killer Tomatoes (2-Disc Special Edition) [Blu-ray + DVD]
UFOs! Bigfoot! Communists! The government has swiftly dealt with many a crisis... But can it survive the diabolical ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES?
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the supermarket, you're face to face with terror so bold, so frightening it has never been seen on-screen before or since (not until the sequel, anyway).
After a series of bizarre and increasingly horrific attacks from pulpy, red, seeded fruit, Mason Dixon (David Miller) finds himself leading a "crack" team of specialists to save the planet. But will they be quick enough to save everyone? To save you?
You can't run! You can't swim! There's nowhere to hide!
THE KILLER TOMATOES ARE EVERYWHERE!
SPECIAL FEATURES
- High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) and Standard Definition DVD presentation of film (1.85:1)

I probably haven't seen this since the early 80's when I was a kid. They used to have movies on BetaMax we could watch for free at my local library. For some reason my friend and I chose this movie to watch.

Yes! This is one of those movies I was afraid would never get released on Blu-ray. And I always figured 1.33:1 was the correct ratio, was the DVD pan and scan or full frame?
Now we just need the last two on Blu-ray.
