Review: The original was cheap but good, so this remake follows in good shape, if you like the topic then this movie will satisfy. The twists at the end are cute. And it fleshes out parts of the story in an original way.

Summary: Ain't spandex great?
Review: This is an HBO remake of the original 50's 50 footer. Naturally there had to be some adjustments for the new era. However it still captures the thrills and chills. You may also marvel at the spandex clothing that stretches for ever (rats.)
Nancy (the little woman) does not have quite the devoted husband. Here life is not quite ideal. Soon a chance encounter with aliens (the space type) leaves her feeling bigger about the situation. 50 foot bigger. Now it is Nancy's turn for a little revenge. The ending is a little unnerving.
Be sure to see Daryl in just as serious of a role in "High spirits" (1998)

Summary: Modern remake adds new life to old classic.
Review: This remake of the Allison Hayes classic is a delightful rendition. The special effects are superior (tho this genre is fueled by imagination so technical effects are secondary to story) but the theme is the same. A few new twists, and very credible acting make this movie a joy for those familiar with this genre (GTS).

Summary: cult movie in the making
Review: Who the hell would remake the 1960's turkey starring Allison Hayes? HBO, that's who!Daryl Hannah makes for the perfect new giantess in this fine update of ATTACK OF THE 50FT WOMAN. In the tiny Western town of Archer, Nancy Archer (Daryl Hannah - SPLASH, STEEL MAGNOLIAS) lives under the thumb of her wealthy father, Hamilton, and her philandering husband Harry (Daniel Baldwin - KNIGHT MOVES, BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY). For years they have chipped away at her self-esteem, making her feel very small, but all that's about to change... A chance-encounter with a UFO leads to Nancy growing into a 50-ft giantess, and she goes on a mission of delicious revenge against her louse of a spouse. Needless to say, the material has not aged well. The creaky plot is slow-moving and only gets going during the last 15 minutes during the "killing spree" sequence. But no doubt this little film has it's appreciative audience, who love the film for what it is....a fun little piece of fluffy schlock! With Frances Fisher, Cristi Conaway and William Windom.

Summary: Daryl Hannah gets big in a remake of a classic 50s B movie
Review: With some help from aliens, Daryl Hannah grows out of an abusive relationship. The plot is weak (although not as weak as the plot of the original), but some of the special effects are very good - particularly the use of forced perspective. It is a shame this hasn't been released in DVD for the people who love special effects.
