Honest Trailer for ‘It: Chapter Two’ Digs on the Film’s Runtime and Lack of Danger [Video]
Let’s be extra honest, It: Chapter Two was a bit of a disappointment. While it wasn’t a bad movie, it didn’t quite carve out its own identity following its smash-hit predecessor.
With that comes the latest “Honest Trailers”, which piles onto the Stephen King adaptation that they joke carries a “scary” runtime, and features a cast of celebrities who are all still losers.
The funniest bit is going to strike a nerve with King fans: “Bill is an author who writes crappy endings in a nod to both Stephen King and a movie you’re watching.”
The trailer does point out some glaring flaws in the film, such as the film’s lack of stakes: “Pennywise, a shape-shifting clown who can kill them at any time…but doesn’t.” It also notes how the first film cut down on the fluff, while the second embraced King’s original work.
Oh, and keep an eye out for a Bloody Disgusting cameo!
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
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.

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
