Review of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958) by Stella D — 08 Feb 2009
If only B-movies delivered on what they promised. Alas, most don't. Yes, there are the exceptions, B-movies which are actually quite well-done in their own respect ("Them!", "Bucket of Blood"), but the majority of them are like "Attack of the 50ft.
Woman", iconic but terrible. Running at just over an hour, "Attack of the 50ft. Woman" spends 50 of its minutes detailing a marriage between two contemptible human beings: an alcoholic heiress who believes sheâ??s seeing flying satellites and her misogynistic, cheating, gold-digger husband.
Only in the final minutes of the film does the titular 50ft. woman appear and due to poor special effects and a lack of ideas, this climax falls short of saving the film. "Attack of the 50ft. Woman" has a very memorable poster, but the film itself will be forgotten instants after you watch it.
