In a bid to make the most of my remaining couple of weeks on Amazon Prime last night I re-watched a film I've mentioned before on MC, Forbidden World from 1982.
The thing that really drew me in on Prime was the film's vintage poster art, which is strikingly good.
Alas, not so the film itself, which turned out once again to be far less interesting than its poster.
The main interest for me lies in its unashamed ripping-off of ALIEN and in particular Star Wars.
In Forbidden World we have:
Stormtroopers
ALIEN style reflected lettering
and Tuskan Raiders!
Despite a side-portion of soft porn and lashings of gore, not even the ALIEN-style creature could save this movie from facehugging its own wampa.
I'm glad I've seen it twice but will resist a third encounter!
Have you been Forbidden?
