Television
remake of the ultimate fifties' cult film. A wife to an abusive and
disloyal husband drives home through the night and gets caught by a
flying saucer's ray beam. Afterwards, she finds her anger makes her
grow taller and taller, until she's at least 50 ft. tall, and she
sets out for revenge against her lowlife husband and everybody else
who ever humiliated her. The reasons for remaking an already schlock
low budget film, its classic silly title not withstanding, remain
unclear as this version certainly does not improve upon the original
and ends up a dull and predictable watch, despite its occasional
funny feminist retro overtones.
