Review: Forbidden World (1982) 4K Release – A Sleazy Alien Knock-Off That Passes the Time
You can taste the rush. The dough hadn't risen.
Summary
A review of the 1982 sci-fi/horror film Forbidden World, focusing on its new 4K release by 88 Films. The reviewer notes the film is a low-budget Alien knock-off that recycles sets and footage from other New World Pictures productions (Galaxy of Terror, Battle Beyond the Stars), has a nonsensical plot, and is ultimately a time-passing but unremarkable B-movie.
Key quotes
· 2 pulledI spent quite a while staring at the cover of 88 Films' fancy new 4K release of Forbidden World thinking 'that's a really bad painting of Eddie Albert.'
This one recycles sets from Terror as well as spaceship footage from Battle Beyond the Stars in service of a 'whoops, we created the xenomorph in a lab by accident' plot that doesn't make much sense, but passes the time.
