Benedito Dias Rodrigues I love Roger Corman's movies they are my favorite Sci-fi trash movies,with a beauty girls on cast,yes it's a rip off Alien,but who cares,the good things are to be copied of course and this enjoyable movie has all ellements to hold you until the end, a bit bloody to my taste indeed,but has a several sexy scenes in the station with gorgeous Dawn Dunlap and June Chadwick, a nice view of the heaven that pay every cent which l'd spent to get the DVD,gore and nasty in most of time it's amused me all the time.....thanks Corman for your holy existence!!Resume:First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 6

Sam Panico Director Allan Holzman (Emmy winning director/editor of Steven Spielberg's Survivors of the Holocaust) wanted a chance to direct, so he took to the sets of Galaxy, using equipment that still had a rental day left and filmed a seven-minute test footage sequence that not only convinced Corman to give him a chance, but became the opening of this film. According to the book that comes with the Shout Factory release of the film, Holzman shot 94 camera set-ups in one day to achieve the frenetic editing style of this sequence.In the Wikipedia setup for this film, they report that this film was panned by critics as a "cheap, exploitive imitation Alien with sex, nudity, uneven editing, cheap special effects and an audio track that some found unpleasant." This sounds like a beacon for me screaming, "SEE THIS FILM NOW." I wouldn't say the music is bad…it's just a strange bit of electronic music that often feels like it doesn't fit the film. And as for the choppy editing style, it's as is this whole film as a battle between two movies. One, an art film packed with intriguing shots, quick cuts and oddly placed humor. Another a sleazy monster movie featuring plenty of sex scenes, women showering together and a toothy Giger-esque little buddy killing scientists.Read more at bandsaboutmovies.com/2017/06/30/forbidden-world-1982/

Rob van Opzeeland Allan Holzman takes us on an unnecessary but highly enjoyable roller-coaster ride in this epically bad film. Everything about it screams B-movie, from the terrible acting of the male actors, the gratuitous full frontal nudity of the actresses, the jumpy and improbable plot, the cheesy lines. Movies like this are like a tasty cheeseburger in a cheap fast food restaurant. It's unhealthy, and disgustingly greasy, but after finishing it you feel a satisfied customer, and the next time you're in the neighbourhood you might just drop in for more. Yes, it's an Alien rip-off. Small crew, isolated base on a distant planet, and a monster that is made for killing and feeding only. And yes, they stole that robot design directly from Star Wars' stormtroopers. Are those reasons to dislike "Forbidden World"? Far from it. It steals shamelessly, and if anything the obviously stolen ideas make this movie even more fun to watch. I would have hated it if they tried to hide the fact this is a blatant rip-off. How could you not like a movie in which the monster is frequently called a "dingwhopper", and which packs these fantastic lines: Barbara : "I hear you're the best troubleshooter in the federation. Want to ehm.. see some trouble?"Barbara: "If it is intelligent, have you tried communicating with it?" Mike: "That's about the stupidest damn idea I heard all day"Dr. Timbergen: "Let's see how my wildly mutating cells get along with yours.""Forbidden World" makes no effort to be classy, it just shoves all the goodies in your face, and says "feast on this." So I did, and it was worth every second.

Scarecrow-88 Subject Twenty, a metamorphic mutant(whose metabolism is rising at an astonishing rate) accidentally created through genetic engineering(what else?)while scientists were attempting to develop a new food source in a laboratory isolated on a planet, gets loose and goes on a violent rampage in a space station. In its saliva is Proto B which goes to work on the cells of humans when it invades their bodies, reducing them to protein to suit its nutritious needs. Its also intelligent and gains control of the station, leaving the remain humans alive until they are chosen as the next meal. This metamorph creature was a product of a Proto B cell and human being, fused through accidental means while conducting experiments for the food source. Jesse Vint is Space Commander Mike Colby, sent to the station to help kill the damned monster, black, slimy, with slobbery teeth, continuously growing. Dr. Cal Timbergen(Fox Harris)is trying to find a way to kill it and believes its through his cancerous cells wherein lies the answer. Meanwhile, Colby has to find a way to keep the rest of the crew safe from the hideous metamorph. Dawn Dunlap is Tracy and June Chadwick is Dr. Barbara Glaser, the female eye candy of this particular Roger Corman production, obviously hired because they are both beautiful and will get naked at the drop of a hat(including one hot scene where they are bathing in a "steam" room). Linden Chiles is Dr. Gordon Hauser, the scientist whose bright idea was the fusion resulting in the mess they find themselves; of course, he also wants to keep the creature alive as to study it. Scott Paulin is Earl Richards, who operates the camera monitors and Raymond Oliver is Brian, the engineer. Besides the babes of the film, and Vint's heroics, the star of the film, in my mind, is the icky special effects of infected humans deteriorating into a mush of skeletal and mutated remains. There's a reliance once again on special effects from BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS(you just can not let such footage go to waste as we have grown accustomed to time and again)during Vint's intergalactic combat with fighter ships on his tail(Colby's assistant is a miniature robot with a kid's voice)at the beginning of the film. I wonder if these same sets were used in one of Corman's other movies, such as ANDROID or GALAXY OF TERROR, because they seem familiar to me. Anyway, if you are a fan of these kinds of B-movies influenced by ALIEN or other science fiction classics from the 50s, with heavy emphasis on boobs and gore, I suggest checking out FORBIDDEN WORLD..preferably as a Midnite Movie on a late Friday. The plot of this movie seems directly lifted for a future film with Marc Singer stepping into Vint's role called DEAD SPACE.
