![]() ![]() There were others, many others, that seemed to have been made simply because some disturbed person knew it could be done and would go to their grave trying to accomplish what others told them was a colossal waste of time. Star Wars rip-offs, dubbed kung fu adventures, hard-edged blaxploitation crime thrillers, splattery Italian horror epics, violent revenge flicks, and these are some of the genres that could be deemed classifiable. You definitely got your money’s worth, that could not be denied. You could see a lot of these schlocky gems in double or triple feature bills or “dusk ’till dawn” marathons that cost substantially less for a ticket than a IMAX 3D screening, even with inflation taken into account. Once upon a time there were theaters from the largest metropolises to the smallest one-horse burgs that specialized in playing the kinds of offbeat, occasionally undefinable, made-for-a-quick-buck flicks that were too gonzo to show its grimy celluloid visage in mainstream cinemas that primarily attracted bored suburbanites and their spoiled, hateful children. ![]() Sue me, I stay pretty busy most of the time. My DVD and Blu-ray collection isn’t massive (getting there though) and yet there are still a few titles I have yet to sit down and watch. If I lived a few extra lifetimes after my first ran out I could never be able to see all of the movies I ever wanted to see. Being born in the wrong place at the seriously wrong time was no excuse for me to not become a fervent admirer of the finest exploitation movies ever made.ī-movies, C-movies, Z-movies, I’ve seen a lot. VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, and spending a lot of time at the houses of friends and relatives with access to pay cable movie channels helped fill me in on the deranged cinematic greatness I was too young to catch first run in its proper theatrical venue.

The film was remade in 1991 under the title Dead Space, on which Corman served as executive producer. The movie also makes use of footage recycled from the 1980 movie Battle Beyond the Stars, which was also produced by Corman. 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). It was generally panned by critics as a cheap, exploitative imitation of the movie Alien, with sex, nudity, uneven editing, cheap special effects, and a sound design which some moviegoers found unpleasant, although the electronic music score produced by Susan Justin received mostly positive attention. The film received three nominations for the 1983 Saturn Awards: Best Low Budget Film, Best Make-up and Best Special Effects.
