On the planet Xarbia, an experimental life-form known as Subject 20 has been created by an elite group of scientists in hopes of preventing a major galactic food crisis. However, instead of prolonging life, Subject 20 is destroying it, and the man-eating organism poses a double threat because it constantly changes its genetic structure. Bounty hunter Mike Colby is called in to investigate but soon suspects that the scientists are keeping something from him, and he discovers why . . . Subject 20 is half-human.

Une connerie de premier ordre qui, malgré tout, fait partie des clones d’Alien encore passables et qui est arrivée relativement tôt après le succès de l’original, même s’il n’arrive pas à la cheville de celui-ci. Et, bien que très peu de choses soient restées dans ma mémoire deux ans et demi après le visionnage de ce film, j’ai toujours en tête la musique synthétique assez sympa de Susan Justin et l‘extraterrestre aux dents longues assez réussi, lequel vient à bout de tous les personnages stupides et grossièrement conçus. Pour qui n’a aucune attente, cette série B d’horreur se laisse regarder.

The American movie Forbidden World is a beautiful example of the combination of horror and sci-fi B-movies. It could have been utter bullshit, however, it turned out to be a movie that is secretly classy and a very nice example for fans of beautiful B-movie trash from almost forty years ago. The camera does not jerk unnecessarily, it is not disturbing, so the viewer can just sit back and enjoy.

A Corman-like hybrid of Alien and The Thing with a softporn twist. Scientists have created a synthetic life form to give starving people something to eat in the future. But their experiment mutates into a cross between an alien and a critter with very large teeth, and instead of becoming food for humans, it makes food out of them. A seemingly traditional low-budget spaceploitation flick that borrows a few unused space battle shots from Battle Beyond the Stars, though they are in no way related to the plot. But why not have a nice kickass beginning? They also recycle sets and props from the weird sci-fi B-movie Galaxy of Terror (some of which by a then-unknown James Cameron). So even here the corridors of the spaceship are made of cardboard coasters and hamburger boxes, which is more evident on the Blu-ray. Not surprisingly, there's also plenty of gratuitous female nudity. The characters in the spaceship shower all the time (maybe because there's so much dirt, slime and pus everywhere) and have lots of sex (probably to keep themselves and the audience entertained). Classic. But Forbidden World is notable for its very strange, sped-up editing, characterised by crazy stroboscopic flashback and flashforward shots that the viewer perceives rather subliminally. The strangest moment is during the monster attack scene, which for some reason is intercut with hundredths of a second sections from the previous sex scene. WTF? It's like Tyler Durden edited the film after seeing the shower scene from Psycho. Maybe there's some hidden meaning in all this that escapes me, either way, the aggressive rapid-fire montages made me more sick than the ubiquitous gore effects. The soundtrack, which mixes disco synthesiser music with unpleasant electronic sounds, will also give you a headache for hours afterwards. Finally, it's worth mentioning the completely unprecedented way in which the heroes take out the main monster. I won't give it away, but you wouldn't dream of something like that.
