Forbidden World [DVD] [1982]

Part Alien…Part Human…All Nightmare, 11 Mar 2011

One of my favourite monster movies of the early 1980’s.
When a research experiment on a desert planet goes wrong Colby (Jesse Vint) and his robot side-kick are sent to assist the scientists.
Whilst supposedly attempting to find ways to genetically incease food supplies the scientists conduct an illegal experiment and create Subject 20, a genetically engineered alien human hybrid.
When the creature escapes due to a particularly hair-brained act of stupidity it starts to grow and develops a taste for blood. The creature’s first manifestation is pretty poor, like a shrivelled octopus but later on as it mutates our toothsome menace trims the crew numbers down nicely….cognitive retributions(sic).
There’s plenty of totally gratiutous nudity, lots of screaming and running down dark corridors and bucket loads of slime for the special effects. The electronic music score by Susan Justin is pretty good too, I’ve not seen this movie for years and still remembered the theme tune.
If you like mad B-movies please forgive the space battle in the first 5 minutes which goes off at a slight tangent and just enjoy the rest of the film.
Unfortunately there are no extras at all.

have watched a lot of 50s b movies but have to say this was awful acting and effects struggled to watch till end suppose it would appeal to some diehard film buff but not me.
