Attack of the 50 Foot CamGirl

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!

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.

The acting was as believable as the lead actresses... assets. Her voice is shrill and not pleasant. The female antagonist was more believable, but the overall movie was not worth wasting an hour of my life.

This is yet another low budget B movie from acclaimed director Jim Wynorski. The synopsis essentially summarizes everything. Lead character (Ivy Smith) eats a scientific food/ experiment, not fully tested (a hotdog), first has small symptoms, then few days wakes up and becomes a giant (50 ft tall). It was apparently Ivy Smith's debut and we could tell, the acting wasn't great and the tone in her voice was never truly convincing. Christine Nguyen, a season veteran was better as expected but still we don't watch these films expecting great acting.

The film isn't really funny but isn't overly forced in its comedy. Nothing really stands out. It's silly for the sake of it. The group of three scientists are also some of the highlights.

People may be watching for skin but there isn't too much (few seconds of Ivy Smith removing her bikini and a brief stripper scene). However having watched on Tubi (free streaming service) and apparently they cut out almost entirely the opening shower scene (about 2:45 in) of Ivy Smith showing full frontal of her chest, along with completely cutting out Christine Nguyen's full frontal shower scene later in the film (around 13:45 mins). Both women do support a bikini a lot of the film.

The good thing is the very short runtime (only 1 hour). Otherwise this is a skip.

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.
