Attack of the 50-Foot Woman (1958)

Film one of three giantess reviews in a series: This and Giantess Battle Attack are a franchise. Giant women, for some men, is a fetish (macrophilia), as is watching women physically fight each other (catfight), and are something I will never really understand, though both are combined in all of these below. But whatever. Of course, giant women films have been around for a while, with the grandmother of all being Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958), but was revived with the likes of Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman (1993) Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfolds (1995), and Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader (2012).I do not believe there is any doubt that these films are absurdist comedies, thankfully going for the lowest bar and the biggest busts.

The titular protagonist in this film is egocentric and narcissistic (is that redundant?) super successful social media influencer, probably on sites like OnlyFan, Beverly Wood (newcomer Ivy Smith). She is nasty and will not listen to advice, thinking she knows best at all times: “I’m a self-made visionary,” she states early on. Obviously, the name is a mix of Beverly Hills and Hollywood. The other two main characters are her husband, Bradley (naturally tall Eli Cirino) and their jealous assistant, Fuschia [sic] (Christine Nguyen, aka adult star Jennifer Lee), who wants to replace Beverly.

We basically meet Beverly as she is filmed taking a shower (naked) while being filmed and endorsing some product. The power structure of the three comes into play pretty quickly, as this is not a long film, and obviously they want to get over the exposition quickly so they can jump to the giantess aspect.

Of course, as I have stated earlier, this is a – er – broad comedy, some of it pretty subtle, such as Beverly referring to sex as “getting unfiltered with you,” and hashtags appearing occasionally as subtitles, e.g., “#sad” appearing to express her emotion.

And how does she get to go from influencer to giantess? Thanks to untested experimental grown-in-the-lab “Unholy Meat-ramony,” supplied by a trio of scientists: Dr. Lana Rhodes (Lisa London, a regular in films from CineRidge Entertainment, such as Love Crime in 2022, and The Wrong Sarah in 2021), Dennis (Frankie Cullen), and Gary (scene stealer Jaret Sacrey). The Bevster eats the food – despite being warned – and achieves the film’s title.

Because of the ridiculousness of the story (not meant as a dis), there is a lot that needs to be just accepted, such as everyone not freaking out about Beverly’s new – er – stature; though I am happy to say that they explain her clothing, rather than doing a “Gilligan’s Island” wardrobe mystery.

I laughed out loud (#lol) when Beverly destroys a billboard with a Full Moon theme (blink and you will miss it). And then, what happens when, in a jealous fit, Fuschia eats some of the GMO food stuff and grows to meet Beverly’s height? Of course, girl fight. Why is it when giantesses fight, they do it in slo mo?

I liked that there is a couple of references to the original Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. That was a nice homage, but you would have to have seen the original to get it (I grew up watching it on “Chiller Theater” on WPIX in New York).

There is some nice use of both CGI (naturally), and some really fine model making (by Jeff Leroy, the director of 2022’s Giantess Attack vs. Mega-Fembot) for the buildings being destroyed, though obviously shells.

The extras are the Full Moon staple “Videozone” (7 min),where Wynorski, Ivy, and Full Moon’s Charles Band sit around the set’s pool and discuss the movie, filmed before the release because they were still unsure if it was going to be 50 feet or 60 feet. The “Behind the Scenes” (6 min) featurette is separate interviews with the three leads, a couple of backstage shots, and mostly clips from the film. Also included is the trailer for Wynorski/Full Moon’s film Bigfoot or Bust (2022), a cleavage extravaganza of big busted alien women in search of said Sasquatch. There are also a number of other Full Moon trailers.
