Review of Forbidden World (1982) by Evan D — 23 Jun 2012

You have to be a fan of low budget B movies to appreciate this sci-fi horror from Roger Corman's New World pictures. If you are, sit back and enjoy all the cheezy SPFX, nudity, sex and gore this fun and strangely stylish Alien rip off has to offer. Let's not forget the slimy, nasty space monster that's the cause of all the bloodletting. And if that's not enough, the nubile Playboy bunny scientists that are responsible for all the nudity. Forbidden World is filmed by director Allan Holzman with an almost psychedelic music video style as it tells the story of a soldier, Mike Colby (Jesse Vint) sent to an isolated research station on the remote planet Xarbia to deal with a genetic experiment that has gotten out of control. Colby not only has to battle a growing and hungry genetic mutant but, handle not one, but, two hot and very horny female scientists (Dawn Dunlap and June Chadwick). The type of B movie they just don't make anymore. One of the last of it's kind. Crack a few beers and enjoy!

EXTRA TRIVIA: Yes, you're not imagining things, those are fast food containers lining the walls of the space station. Corman thriftiness strikes again...

...and this may be the only film is movie history where a cancerous tumor is used as a weapon. Only in a Roger Corman production, folks!
