Movie Scientists,
Have you ever wanted to watch a movie where bunch of horned up scientists are trapped on a remote space station where they are attacked and eventually farmed as a food source by a crude Alien knockoff? You didn’t even know what you were missing in your life. I did a little research and found out that even in 1982 this was reviewed as ‘low budget’ which is evident by the takeout containers lining the walls. But for me it was full of the excessive nudity, unintentional humor and weird plot choices that make an old bad movie great.
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn… into a blob of goo.
Because of the awesome old practical gore effects and random nude scenes I went a little crazy with the screen shots. But It was worth it just for the space clarinet sex scene.
Fun Fact : It was remade in 1991 under the title Dead Space and starring a then-unknown Bryan Cranston. ( gotta get that on the list)
Dan mentioned that he might not be able to make it this week. so I’m sending this email out without knowing what we’re going to watch this week. If Dan can’t make it we’ll pause his choice until he gets back. Wade had mentioned that he might be able to make it this week. He’s driving back from somewhere that day. If Wade doesn’t make it the responsibility will fall to the “Secretary of Yelling Titties”… Bill.

That part was classic.

Forbidden World, originally titled Mutant, is a 1982 American science fiction-horror film. The screenplay was written by Tim Curnen, from a screenstory by R.J. Robertson and Jim Wynorski. It was co-edited and directed by Allan Holzman, who had edited Battle Beyond the Stars two years earlier. The cast includes Jesse Vint, Dawn Dunlap, June Chadwick, Linden Chiles, Fox Harris and Michael Bowen. Forbidden World has also been released under the titles Mutant and Subject 20.[2]
The film received three nominations for the 1983 Saturn Awards: Best Low Budget Film, Best Make-up and Best Special Effects. It was generally panned by critics as a cheap, exploitative imitation of the movie Alien, with sex, nudity, uneven editing, cheap special effects, and an audio track that some found unpleasant. It is frequently paired with and compared to the previous year's Corman-produced Alien rip-off Galaxy of Terror, with which Forbidden World shares some of the same sets (designed by James Cameron). The movie also makes use of footage recycled from the 1980 movie Battle Beyond the Stars, which was also produced by Corman. It is notable for its gruesome violence, electronic music score by Susan Justin (available in full as a DVD-ROM feature on the German release of the film), odd, choppy editing and a scene in which the two female leads take a shower together.
The film was remade in 1991 under the title Dead Space, on which Corman served as executive producer. The remake has minor variations but still retains the plot and character stylings of the original, also referring to the mutated virus as a "metamorph" as the original did.
