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.

This is the exact same story as The 60 Foot Centerfold, but this time you CAN sit through the whole script, because all of it is part of the thing going on.

Is it a good film? No. But it manages to be more than softcore, or product-placement.

My question though: who is our hero? Everyone is ... let's say it that way: unsympathetic. Even the three scientist side-persona. Every single one of them.

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 watched on Tubi (free streaming service) and apparently they cut out almost entirely the opening shower scene (about 3 mins in) of Ivy Smith showing full frontal, along with completely cutting out Christine Nguyen's full frontal shower scene later in the film. 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.
