Kevin Maher Times (UK) ... In the cultural moment when Barbie has been revamped as a totem of female empowerment this can only be seen as the original feminist doll movie. Rated: 4/5 Jan 5, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This is considered in some (OK, most) camps to be one of the worst movies ever made, but don’t you believe it. It’s not a good film, but to its credit, it’s also not an awful one. Rated: 2/4 Dec 12, 2022 Full Review Rob Humanick Suite101.com Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman, especially one who could avoid a divorce altogether by merely stepping on you. Rated: 4/5 Oct 18, 2011 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) Her towering torso wrapped in a makeshift sarong apparently manufactured from bed sheets, Hayes is a nightmare caricature of the rolling pin-wielding wife tracking down an errant husband. 'It's Mrs. Archer! She's on a rampage!' cries the town doctor. Rated: 3/4 Feb 11, 2011 Full Review James O'Ehley Sci-Fi Movie Page The acting is campy and the plot doesn't make sense: Hayes grows to King Kong-size but still somehow manages to fit in her bedroom! Jul 15, 2007 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...has little to offer even the most ardent fan of trash cinema. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 10, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I've loved this movie since my childhood. If you get past the bad effects and cheapness you'll see that it's actually a pretty good film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review j f High marks in the toight department. But the movie is pretty bad. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Z This flick is surprisingly watchable, With above average performances. Movie is a trashy allegory of the old adage - hell hath no fury as a woman scorned. Movie has a nice balance of camp, comedy and pulp drama. The downside ? The lame, zero budget fx , as transparent giants roam the countryside, And they reach out to grab you with fake looking foamy hands. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Preserving C It's true that Attack of the 50 foot woman's special effects and campy/cheesy story doesn't hold up quite well for today's standards, It's still a honestly good fun film for fans of early monster films. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Great fun! Yvette Vickers, William Hudson and that dancin' fool deputy! The rock music playing at the local watering hole is delicious! Allison Hayes goes from brunette to blonde after being exposed to a space alien that bears a marked resemblance to the late President Eisenhower. All you need to chase away the Covid blues is this movie, a big bowl of popcorn and a comfy recliner or couch. Enjoy! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review dave s You don't go into a movie titled The Attack of the 50-Foot Woman with high expectations, which is probably a good thing. The plot is pretty simple: a satellite that looks like a glowing cantaloupe descends from the skies and the pilot, a 30-foot tall semi-translucent man, assaults of woman passing by, who then grows to an impressive 50-feet and wreaks havoc on the town trying to find her cheating husband. It is filled with horrible special effects, implausible reactions to the events at hand, and terrible dialogue. Despite all of that, it's campy fun and, clocking in at just over an hour, isn't too much of a waste of time if you have just over an hour to kill.
