Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

BA_Harrison From legendary B-movie producer Roger Corman, Forbidden World is a cheap, cheesy and sleazy Alien rip-off that makes up for its low production values by chucking in as much gloopy gore and female nudity as possible.The film opens with intergalactic trouble-shooter Mike (Jesse Vint) being woken from cryogenic sleep by his loyal robot SAM-104 (who looks like a bargain basement stormtrooper) to help defend against an enemy attack; after a terrible space dog-fight that makes use of footage from Corman's Battle Beyond the Stars (1980), a victorious Mike receives orders to visit the planet Xarbia, where there has been an accident in a high security laboratory.On arrival, Mike is told that the result of a genetic experiment is on the loose, the creature continuously mutating as it grows. The bigger it gets, the meaner and more ravenous it becomes, with humans on the menu.The directorial debut of film editor Allan Holzman, Forbidden World is tacky and tasteless trash that doesn't have any pretensions: it's aim is to please its target audience of B-movie fans, and that it most certainly does. Once Mike has set foot on Xarbia, its non-stop gooey effects and gratuitous T&A from the lab's two female scientists (played by June Chadwick and Dawn Dunlap), both of whom have rocking bodies and absolutely no qualms about getting naked.After a whole load of messy gore (the victims slowly turning into a mushy mess), some nookie, and the welcome sight of Chadwick and Dunlap in the shower together, the film ends in splattery style with Mike having to remove a cancerous tumour from a fully conscious man without anaesthetic in order to feed the growth to the monster. Now that, my friend, is entertainment!7.5 out of 10, rounded down to 7 for Holzman's occasional use of rapid-fire editing, which made my eyes and brain hurt.

spencergrande6 There's just something special about some of these early 80's Corman "cult classics." This is maybe the least impressive of the ones I've seen ("Galaxy of Terror" and "Humanoids From the Deep" being tops) but it still has it's moments and is entertaining enough.It's clearly self-aware, but not in a tongue-in-cheek campy way. The music is ridiculous and awesome in equal measure. There's a scene where everyone on screen in contributing in their own way to the score. A couple's moans while having sex, a crewman watching on security cam while playing with a fancy light up yo-yo thing that makes a zing sound and a guy sitting on his bed playing a translucent space sax.It could have used some more scares and more effective kill scenes. There's some pretty good special effects work here but it's all after the fact with the tension all but deflated.

Scott LeBrun The always engaging Jesse Vint plays Mike Colby, an intergalactic troubleshooter who's called into service on a remote planet. It seems that the scientists there have let their big genetic experiment get out of control. Now there's a continuously evolving life form on the loose in their station, one that does hideous things to human bodies in order to digest them. The head scientist, Gordon Hauser (TV veteran Linden Chiles, 'James at 15'), doesn't want the truth about the species' origins to be known, which doesn't help matters. Ultimately, it's Dr. Cal Timbergen (notably eccentric character actor Fox Harris, "Repo Man") who will prove to be far more helpful.Of course, one can hardly fail to notice that Mike and the others don't seem too concerned at first about the creatures' whereabouts. Mike's far more interested in hooking up with *both* of the hottie ladies at this station: Dr. Barbara Glaser (foxy blonde June Chadwick, "This is Spinal Tap") and Tracy Baxter (sultry brunette Dawn Dunlap, "Laura" '79). The two ladies even have an enticing scene with each other!Director / editor Allan Holzman ("Grunt! The Wrestling Movie") does a decent job working in confined quarters; genre buffs will know that this typically cheap Roger Corman production re-uses sets from "Galaxy of Terror" as well as special effects shots from "Battle Beyond the Stars". The cheese and trash levels are pretty much off the charts here, as you can tell from the previous paragraph. For a movie obviously designed to get a little more use out of previously existing elements, this *is* pretty entertaining, especially in the directors' cut with its use of classical music and comedic moments. The score by Susan Justin (who was Mrs. Holzman in real life) is quite amusing.The studly Vint is well supported by Chadwick, Harris, Chiles, Ray Oliver ("Child's Play"), Scott Paulin ("Cat People" '82), and Michael Bowen ("Jackie Brown"). Dunlap looks great but really isn't much of an actress. Don Olivera, who did the crude but enjoyable makeup and creature effects along with John Carl Buechler ("Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood"), plays the role of the robot SAM-104.Highly recommended to folks who appreciate the sleazier and cheesier side of B level genre cinema.Seven out of 10.

cmv32261 Let me again rant about IMDb's policy of having to write at least 10 lines, when only 1 is at times more than suffice. Corman is responsible for movies way too cheesy and campy to be considered art, the only redeeming quality is the nudity. Extremely bad scripts and bad acting. What is more insufferable is that some actually believe movies that are so distasteful warrant a rating of more than 4, but then again some consider extremely poor scripts and portrayal of a part an art form, which explains the rave reviews of Abrams version of Star Trek script plots that are not fit for lining the bottom of a bird cage, Potboiler scripts are what movies like this have, anything with great Special FX and CG appeals to people who have no cinematographic artistic taste.
