Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl

I decided to check out "Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl" on Tubi. It's a Full Moon release from Jim Wynorski, who used to make a bunch films for Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures.

Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl is basically a remake of Attack of the 50 Foot Centerfold. This one runs slightly over an hour.

Beverly Woods (Ivy Smith) is an internet sensation. Her husband is trying to team her up with her assistant Fuschia and bilk Beverly out of her money. Her husband is hoping a food experiment will poison Beverly, but instead it makes her grow into a fifty foot woman. Beverly's husband and Fuschia's plan backfires. Fuschia sees what kind of guy Brad really is. Both women make nice with each other in the end. I came into this with low expectations, but I actually really liked Ivy Smith and hope to see more of her work.

This is the exact same story as The 60 Foot Centerfold, but this time you CAN sit through the whole script, because all of it is part of the thing going on.

Is it a good film? No. But it manages to be more than softcore, or product-placement.

My question though: who is our hero? Everyone is ... let's say it that way: unsympathetic. Even the three scientist side-persona. Every single one of them.

This movie is free on Tubi. And there's a reason. It's horrible.

Basically, a 40 something zaftig stripper type -- who is somehow described as the "hottest" cam girl on the internet -- eats a geneticallly mnufactured carrot and grows to 50 feet tall.

You've already seen three or 4 movies like this over the years. Maybe not overweight strippers, but you get the idea.

The jokes fall flat. The acting is dismal. And the story is a mess. None of it makes a lot of sense.

There are two (2) things that are good about this movie:

1. The house the shot in is spectacular. Who did thye know?

2. The running tme is just slightly over an hour.

If you're looking for spectacular graphics and beautiful scenery then go watch Avatar: The way of water. This movie is like a teenage boys fever dream. It's weird, it makes no sense and it has boobs in it. I laughed within the first 30 seconds of the film and it wasn't a snort of derision, it was a real laugh. It's obvious to me, but apparently lost on the other reviewers (arfdawg-1) of this film, that the whole thing was made for fun and stupidity. It probably cost next to nothing to make and it looks like the actors are having a laugh. So don't be an idiot, don't judge this as if it was high art because it so obviously isn't. It's just a hour long joke. Lighten up!

It seriously pains me to say this, having been a longtime fan of Charles Band's going back to his Empire Days, the state of play at the House Of Full Moon is but a shadow of former glories!

There's a germ of a good idea in here, but what was needed was decent acting and most importantly a script worthy of the title itself.

Had the Director made this in the 80's the whole production would've made for better viewing but as it stands, despite some cameos from himself plus Becky LeBeau, this is woeful stuff.

Of course the sequel is forthcoming but I won't be checking it out.
