Forbidden World (1982) – Allan Holzman.

'We've created a little monster, I'm afraid!'

On planet Xarbia, researchers create Subject 20, an artificial lifeform that runs bloodily amok in thrillingly lurid 80s Sci-splatter gem Forbidden World. A kinetically edited intro, wherein cryo-resurrected Jessie Vint bosses a deep space dog fight, dynamically sets the scene for cosmic, chunk-blowing cult classic Forbidden World. I'd like to claim my zealous appreciation is largely down to Susan Justin's pulsingly urgent electronic score, but Forbidden World's free-spirited preponderance of explosive gore, and tantalizing nudity had me transfixed like a tractor beam directly from blastoff! And who couldn't appreciate a prodigiously gloopy B-flick that features the aces line 'What's the gooey stuff?' While the narrative is routine Sci-pulp, it's of on especially rich consistency!

I don't wish to sound trite, but one should NEVER, under ANY circumstance, leave the door to the metamorph's cage open, I haven't done much in my life that I'm proud of, but I felt it was my citizenly duty to reiterate this pertinent fact. If one relates to Forbidden World as an off-world slasher, with an especially mutable killer, it plays better than simply being just another creature featured Corman romp. This lascivious metamorph can't quite keep his multitudinously oozing proboscis off the scintillating ladies! I've said this many times before, but clunkily expository dialogue is better digested when delivered by two absolutely nude, exquisitely lovely women! The salient question remains, which is greater, Cozzi's Contamination, or Holzman's Forbidden World? I shall leave that up to future Siskel & Ebert's to cogitate over!
