Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine wouldn't mind shrinking her.

The first female victim in AOTPP had a great reaction when she wakes and sees the giant phone and realizes shes been shrunk. A great SW reaction can compensate for lack of effects.

Going back further, Devil Doll had good effects for the time, but I didnt like how the shrinking foam turned the shrinkee into an unaware zombie. Id rather have seen her commit the thievery in the movie as a bargain to get her size back.

Id love to see a remake with Morena Baccarin as a wife of a wealthy scientist who develops the shrinking foam.

Baccarin discovers her hubby is having an affair with a young blonde bimbo (Charlotte McKinney). Seeing a younger bustier threat to her gravy train, she uses the foam on McKinney. McKinney begs Baccarin to make her big again. Instead, McKinney is used to steal valuables for Baccarin to flee the country with and live in luxury in Aruba.

But, before she can slip away, Baccarin is found out, and gets doused with the foam. As the foam soaks into her skin, she lets out an epic "NOOOOOOO!!!!" as she shrinks into her clothes. She emerges, with the foam strategically covering her naughty bits, a mere four inches tall.
