The Sci-Fi Channel ought to take a stab at a 2nd remake of this

It would make a great original movie for them on a Saturday nite. Their remake should stay true to the original 1958 classic though so it attracts a sizeable male viewing audience.

I think that's a pretty good idea. Couldn't be any worse than the other sci-fi orignal movies. Wonder what would go into a modern retelling of this story.

I agree, I've done a few short stories loosely based on the movie and one sequel directly tied to the movie. Any of them could be converted to the screen.

That's what I was thinking? As I was watching it and not thinking it was really bad at all (just a cheesy sci-fi version of Ruthless People), I was thinking that any random SyFy movie is a lot worse than this.

Auh wasn't there already a remake of this movie? Didn't Darrel Hanna, I think thats how its spelled, play the 50 ft woman.

Wow. I might seek that one out. Darryl Hannah is a much better actress than Allison Hayes.

Yes but it needs to be updated. For example the title needs to be redone in metric - The Attack of the 15-Meter Woman.
