![]() After Colby settles in, his decision to terminate Subject 20 to prevent further deaths is met with research-minded secrecy and resistance. Military officer Mike Colby, accompanied by his robot assistant SAM-104, is called in to investigate the problem. However, Subject 20 mutates rapidly and uncontrollably and kills all of the laboratory subject animals before cocooning itself within an examination booth. This lifeform was built out of the synthetic DNA strain, "Proto B", and was intended to stave off a galaxy-wide food crisis. In the distant future, at a genetic research station located on the remote desert planet of Xarbia, a research team has created an experimental lifeform they have designated "Subject 20". The remake has minor variations but still retains the plot and character stylings of the original, also referring to the mutated virus as a "metamorph" as the original did. The film was remade in 1991 under the title Dead Space, on which Corman served as executive producer. The movie also makes use of footage recycled from the 1980 movie Battle Beyond the Stars, which was also produced by Corman. It is frequently paired with and compared to the previous year's Corman-produced Alien rip-off Galaxy of Terror, with which Forbidden World shares some of the same sets (designed by James Cameron). It was generally panned by critics as a cheap, exploitative imitation of the movie Alien, with sex, nudity, uneven editing, cheap special effects, and a sound design which some moviegoers found unpleasant, although the electronic music score produced by Susan Justin received mostly positive attention. The film received three nominations for the 1983 Saturn Awards: Best Low Budget Film, Best Make-up and Best Special Effects. Forbidden World has also been released under the titles Mutant and Subject 20. The cast includes Jesse Vint, Dawn Dunlap, June Chadwick, Linden Chiles, Fox Harris and Michael Bowen. It was co-edited and directed by Allan Holzman, who had edited Battle Beyond the Stars two years earlier. The screenplay was written by Tim Curnen, from a screenstory by R.J. This is a flick that is sure to please Corman fans as well as low-budget horror fans looking for that film that delivers in ultimate cheapness Forbidden Worlds is a very good viewing experience, one that horror fans should take.Forbidden World, originally titled Mutant, is a 1982 American science fiction- horror film. I very much enjoyed the film and it is gorier, grittier than the big budget films it tries to outdo. Don't take this film too seriously because it's pretty over the top. This is a film worth seeing if you love low-budget rip offs of big budget films and it's simply a fun film from start to finish. ![]() Roger Corman knows how to deliver the goods on effective trashy horror gems, and Forbidden World is one of those films that really stands out. This has plenty of good moments for horror fans to enjoy, and the strength of the film lies in its shocks, thrills and bloody content. The film is imperfect, and looks very cheap, but at the same that's what makes it good. ![]() This is pure Roger Corman and it delivers everything you'd expect. For a low-budget quickie, I found Forbidden World to be lots of fun from start to finish. Before watching this film, empty your mind and just enjoy some 80's schlock. The film has a lot of charm that will surely appeal to fans of obscured horror cinema. Saying this about Forbidden World may seem like I'm stating its weakness. This is a s sleazy as Roger Corman films go, bad acting, cheap sets and plot lifted from Ridley Scott's Alien and add to that a lot of blood and gore with nudity and you have a cult horror film you won't forget. Clearly a rip off of Alien, Forbidden World is one of those obscured underrated gems that should be seen by fans of B movie flicks. ![]()
