There is a fair amount of unnecessary nudity in this one. Also, one by one, all the women in the facility are seduced by the main protagonist Mike Colby, whose motto is, “ If it moves and it’s not one of us, shoot it”. Throughout the movie, the residents of genetics research facility on planet Xarbia are one by one murdered by the vicious metamorph. “Oh yeah, the alien is part human so, uhm, when he attacks people it like turns them into goo, so it can eat them or something.” It’s so great! It’s like ad-lib cinema. It’s super slimy and gross, and you get the impression that they just sorted out plot details after the goo effect was created. Most of it seems strung together based from what the special effects team was doing.įor instance, there is a very good effect where one of the alien’s victims is only partially dead, and his body is melting into this weird gelatinous goo. Forbidden World really tries to explain the science, but it’s all non-sensical. It was intended to be used to eliminate a galaxy wide food crisis.

The basic plot of the movie is that there is an experimental life form, Subject 20, who was created from synthetic DNA called Proto B. After is a bleak, science-gone-bad horror movie set to bizarre electro music. Before is what appears to be a Star Wars rip-off with bright pulsating colors and space craft, dog-fighting action. The movie before the title card has nothing whatsoever to do with the movie after. You can certainly tell that this was the case, as the movie opens with a 10-minute space battle set to classical music. The above quote is from the infamous B-Movie producer Roger Corman, providing directors to the director of this film - who began filming without a script. “You have four days to write, produce and direct a seven- to eight-minute opening of a space movie… I’ll give you an astronaut and a robot, and if you need any inspiration, I’ve always wanted to do a version of Lawrence of Arabia in outer space” That includes over-the-top slimy gore, a confusing plot, gratuitous nudity and rubbery cheap practical effects. This whacky movie has everything you would expect from a low budget, early 80s Roger Corman exploitation film. In fact, the alien in this movie is called “the metamorph”. Except for maybe the alien who looks exactly like the xenomorph. But this movie couldn’t be further from Alien if it tried. It’s an early 80s Sci-Fi horror flick from Roger Corman that tries to capitalize on the success of Alien. This week’s Tubi Tuesday entry is a wild one.

“Forbidden World” is a Roger Corman production of a Sci-Fi Horror Exploitation Slime Fest that’s campy enough to be great fun and utterly rewatchable.
