[Remember This?] The Sexy, Yet Terrifying Party Sequence in ‘Jacob’s Ladder’
With talks of a remake to Jacob’s Ladder heating up once again (story here), I turned to my old DVD collection to rekindle my love for the 1990 Adrian Lyne-directed thriller.
I probably haven’t seen the film in at least 15 years, so it was interesting to see my new adult interpretation come into fruition – not to mention my crafted critical eye-catching some absolutely stunning film work that I would have never appreciated in my teens.
Below is a scene from the film where Jacob, played by Tim Robbins, is hallucinating at a party. In the moment, Lyne created an absolutely stunning sequence where a beautiful Elizabeth Peña (playing Jezzie) gets her freak on with a winged demon right before Jacob’s eyes. It’s very Lovecraftian and also reminds me of films like John Carpenter‘s In the Mouth of Madness.
I’m pretty excited to remind some of you of this scene, while also introducing it to our younger readers. Take it in…
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.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
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 co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
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.
