![]() The mixing of sex and death is one of the uncomfortable elements seen in FORBIDDEN WORLD (1982). This technique continues during the scene when Earl is killed by the monster. When he's alerted to the location of the escaped Subject 20 he searches the corridors of the station while flashes of Barbara and Mike having sex appear on screen. There's a fairly torrid sex scene between Barbara and Mike while Earl, a watchman, plays peeping tom. One such practice seen several times during the movie is a subliminal effect showing an increasingly rapid succession of shots of images that have yet to take place or are transpiring elsewhere. Holzman puts his editing skills to use here creating scenes that alternate between the artistic and the disgusting. Despite the onslaught of sex, nudity, grue and gore, there is an attempt to create something more than an exercise in exploitation moviemaking. Tapping into the stations computers, communication is cut off and the remaining survivors must find a way of killing the mutation.Įditor turned Director, Holzman does a fine job with what little material he has to work with from a script by frequent trash peddler, Jim Wynorski. By the time the true origin of the alien creature is revealed, it is nearly too late. ![]() The experiment gets out of control and the monstrosity escapes the lab changing its form and grows at an alarming rate. The scientists call the being Subject 20. In creating a solution for a galaxy wide food crisis, the scientists on Xarbia create an organism called a Metamorph, a creature made up of a bacterial substance called Proto-B and mixed with human cells. Intergalactic space ranger, Mike Colby and his robotic partner, SAM 104, are summoned to the planet Xarbia to investigate an altercation that has taken place at a medical research laboratory stationed on the desert biosphere. ***WARNING! This review contains pics of gruesome violence and nudity*** Cal Timbergen) Scott Paulin (Earl Richards) Barbara Glaser), Dawn Dunlap (Tracy Baxter), Linden Chiles (Dr. Oh, and the monster! Sometimes he looks like a giant wad of gum, sometimes he looks like a pile of trash and sometimes he looks like a pile of trash being pushed around on a shopping cart.Jesse Vint (Mike Colby), June Chadwick (Dr. Please either have a great sound system set up or just go the cheap route like I did and wear the headphones you bought at FIVE BELOW. ![]() somehow in unison to the greatest new wave-y synth score you ever heard. As they make the vaguely shot intergalactic whoopee, we are privy to flash cuts of a coworker watching it all unfold on a security monitor while he intently pulls on a light up yo-yo toy and another space ship denizen wistfully playing a (space?) flute in his bunk. Barbara Glaser (eighties staple JUNE CHADWICK of THIS IS SPINAL TAPP & V). It's not explicit it's just an orchestra of huh? Our hero Mike Colby (seventies staple JESSE VINT of BUG, SILENT RUNNING & DEATHSPORT) is the new rooster in the space hen house and therefore is hurriedly propositioned by Dr. Who doesn't want one of those? Also FORBIDDEN WORLD has my favorite sex scene outside of MADMAN(1982). Worm rape-free though it may be, FORBIDDEN WORLD has plenty of other idiosyncrasies that you might find worth your while, most notably a robot that sounds exactly like Marcie from THE PEANUTS. GALAXY OF TERROR'S initials form the acronym " GOT" which signifies that it has "got" the giant heinous rape worm in it (not to mention ERIN MORAN). which stands for "worm free", meaning this is not the movie where a giant worm rapes a woman. FORBIDDEN WORLD's initials " F.B." reversed are W.F. Case in point, the ROGER CORMAN produced, ALLAN HOLZMAN directed FORBIDDEN WORLD (1982)! If you sometimes get this one confused with the previous year's GALAXY OF TERROR (yay! Also on Netflix Streaming!), you're just like me! Don't sweat it! I've invented an easy way to remember which is which. You've got to love ALIEN(1979), not only was it generous enough to gift the world with its incredible self, it thoughtfully left the door open for so many lovable wannabes to charge through. ![]()
