Forbidden World Movie Download

6 / 10

Hey there sexy humanoid … Wanna co-exist?
Yet another cheap ‘n cheesy early 80’s “Alien” rip-off produced by Roger “King of the B’s” Corman! This given alone is more than enough reason to proceed with caution and keep your expectations to a minimum. Then, during the opening credits sequence, your first impressions are most likely to seep to an even deeper level, as the first five minutes are a headache-inducing and utterly pointless compilation of confusing and hectic images that make no sense at all. But please do your best to struggle yourself through this crappy opening, because “Forbidden World” does eventually get interesting and worthwhile. Well, in all honesty … it’s crap from start to finish! But hey, at least it’s tremendously entertaining crap! We’re in the darkest regions of outer space, somewhere in a distant future, but there’s no menace of aliens this time. The cool-looking monster on the VHS cover is mankind’s own little mistake-creation, spawned on a spaceship where the crew was actually trying to discover new types of food sources. Now they’re up against a continuously growing monster that somehow understands English, yet dramatically misinterprets the meaning of the verb “co-exist”. Lone space ranger Mike Colby (Jesse Vint) is called to the rescue, but he doesn’t really contribute anything, except having sex with the female crew members on board. What a guy! Another scientist member of the expedition eventually comes up with an admittedly creative (but totally ludicrous) plan to destroy the monster. Naturally, I can’t reveal anything about the denouement, but rest assured it’s 100% original and hilarious. The cinematography is dreadfully dark and unclear, presumably to camouflage the ultra-cheap and tacky set pieces and make-up effects. The monster is very cool, though, and the killings are amusingly gross and bloody. The aforementioned “co-exist” scene truly priceless and any horror fan with a slight sense of humor will LOVE that moment. Alan Holzman didn’t have any experience directing movies back in 1982, but he does a fairly adequate job and admirably prevents his cast from going over the top. Following good old Roger Corman traditions, there’s some great sleaze and nudity to enjoy and also the dialogs are imbecilic but fun. Highly recommended in case you can tolerate B-movie cheapness.Read More
