Day 20 of 31 days of horror: Forbidden World (1982)

I’m watching my 20th movie on day 20. I’m finally caught up! Today’s movie is Forbidden World. I’ve never seen it, but the description reminds me of old Star Trek or Alien or basically any sci-fi forbidden planet episode. It’s a familiar old trope, but this is 80s sci-fi horror so there’s bound to be big hair, nudity, and gore.

Yep. Two pairs of boobs in the opening sequence. Dude is coming out of stasis and he’s dreaming about boobs. And a storm trooper knockoff. Love that old future technology with the beeps and boops and blinking lights. That does not look like proper space station footwear. What the heck, did they capture Armus? That’s what got Tasha Yar killed. Wow. No undergarments under their super thin pajama-like uniforms. Well they lost Armus. I wonder how many are going to die while this guy gets it on with sexy scientist lady. I guess they all probably know there are security cameras everywhere and just don’t care. There’s one. Bye, security guard. Can’t breathe, better have a smoke. I recognize those black cigarettes. We don’t get many new faces around here. Guess he’s gonna have all the ladies. Dang, that thing does a number on them. Pew pew! Hehehe gross. LOOK OUT IT’S COMING RIGHT FOR YOU. Ah, more of that 80s nudity. Oh shit. Looks like that’s a negative on co-existing. Huh. So cancer kills it, but you have to feed it the cancer. Good thing Dr. Smokes-a-lot has plenty of cancer to feed it. Really? That was anticlimactic. The ending credits song sounds a lot like that Danzig song, Bound By Blood…only, 80s.

Closing thoughts: better than I expected. I liked it quite a bit. Will it be in my regular rotation? Probably not. But I wouldn’t change the channel if it was on tv.
