Full Moon Features Looks To Sept. 13 For The Blu-ray And DVD Debut Of Director Jim Wynorski's Attack Of The 50 Foot Camgirl

Full Moon Features, with sales and distribution expertise provided by MVD Entertainment Group, has tabbed Sept. 13 as the street date for director Jim Wynorski’s Attack of the 50 Foot Camgirl.   Both DVD and Blu-ray selections will be available for genre fans to savor.

Where does one begin?   How about with Roger Corman protégé Jim Wynorski … he honed his filmmaking skills with such Corman-produced gems as Big Bad Mama II, the remake of Not of this Earth (with Traci Lords) and The Haunting of Morella with Nicole Eggert.

He’s one of the most prolific filmmakers around … just seeing his name in the credits signals that what you are about to see is well-worth watching.   Just as examples, Scream Queen Hot Tub Party, Munchie, Dinosaur Island, Sorceress, Bikini Drive-In, Vampirella, Storm Trooper, The Witches of Breastwick … we could go on and on.   You get the idea.

So, when film impresario Charles Band’s Full Moon Features teamed up with Wynorski for a story about a mad scientist invention — a self-replicating food supply — that turns a famous-for-being-famous webcam performer, Beverly Wood (played by Ivy Smith in her film debut), into a 50-foot giant after she gobbles down one of the lab-grown samples, you know that the street date for Attack of the 50 Foot Camgirl can’t come soon enough.

OK, for genre fans, you’ve got Tarantula, starring Leo G. Carroll (immortalized in the opening number to the Rocky Horror Picture Show … “I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel … When Tarantula took to the hills”), who hits upon a plan to solve world hunger by making everything bigger.   What could go wrong with that?

And, also from the 1950s, director Nathan Juran’s classic, Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman, starring Allison Hayes … a “socialite” drives into an alien visitor and grows and grows and grows.   She discovers that her husband is cheating on her and goes on murderous rampage.  Perfect!!

Take famous-for-being-famous, and combined that with the plot elements of Tarantula and Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman and you’ve got yourself a potential film franchise.

But it gets better!!   Once Beverly Wood grows into a scantily-clad buxom beauty of the fifty-foot variety, she discovers that her oily husband, Bradley (Eli Cirino — Bigfoot or Bust), has been cheating on her with rival webcam personality Fuschia (Christine Nguyen — Girls Guns and Blood, Bikini Sorority House, Attack of the Killer Donuts).   She goes after them, but Fuschia is having none of it — she can be famous-for-being-famous as well — and so she ingests some the mad scientist food to take on Beverly Wood in a battle of the titans — not since King Kong faced off against Godzilla has the screen seen such gigantic combat!! 

Mark it on your must-see viewing calendar.  Sept. 13, Attack of the 50 Foot Camgirl on either DVD or Blu-ray from Full Moon Features … you will certainly get an eyeful!!

Bonus goods included a pair of featurettes — “Videozone: From the Set” and “Behind the Scenes.”
