Upon Timbergen’s instructions, Colby then feeds the tumor to the metamorph during a climatic battle, resulting in its death and in one hell of a mess as it vomits pink goop all over the research lab. Sans morphine for most of the procedure, Cal screams a good one as the growth is ripped out of his body.

#FORBIDDEN WORLD 1982 HOW TO#
Made on the cheap by a team of creative and hungry filmmakers who knew how to make the most out of the Corman buck, FORBIDDEN WORLD delights with its imaginative gross-out set pieces and solid B-movie acting.īundled together in a tight 77-minute package, the film plays better than Corman’s other ALIEN clone, GALAXY OF TERROR (1981), primarily because it doesn’t take itself as seriously and ultimately, holds up better because of it.

And oh yes, make sure to include a shit-eating grin monster that looks very similiar to H.R. Giger’s creation in the Ridley Scott film.Īdd an electronica score (the type that was so wonderfully prevelent in early 1980s horror films) by first time composer Susan Justin and you have yourself a perfect piece of sci-fi/horror trash. Open up the Roger Corman exploitation cookbook and load your stew with sex, nudity, gore, violent deaths, and futuristic shower scenes. If you’re going to rip off Ridley Scott’s ALIEN (1979), then this is the way to do it. How he ultimately brings down the creature is truly one for the books. In between sex sessions and steam baths with the station’s luscious female staff (June Chadwick and Dawn Dunlap), Colby searches for a way to destroy the beast.
