I was not going to do an 80's themed October Challenge without getting in a Roger Corman film.
Corman is up to his usual tricks here too, cheap sets, recycled footage, and beautiful women in various stages of undress.
The plot is one so old that even in 82 it felt old. Alien monster created by science gets loose in a lab and kills everyone. But to Corman's credit, he still manages to make this old chestnut entertaining.
Our hero, Mike Colby, is a Federation Marshall sent to deal with the problem. He manages to have sex with every woman on the base and still finds a way to allow everyone to get killed on the base.
Priorities I guess.
Still, if I ever get my Star Trek/White Star/Black Star game going again there will be a shape-shifting alien in the Jefferies Tubes killing people.
Forbidden World also features a Pre-V June Chadwick as Dr. Barbara Glaser, but she might be remembered best as David St. Hubbins' girlfriend Jeanine in "This is Spın̈al Tap". Of course given that this a Corman flick the only way the two women on board can figure out how to communicate with the creature is during a scene where they shower together.
This movie has also been known as "Mutant". The actual creature, as to be expected, looks nothing like the cover art.

we liked what he had done with this low-budgeted film
my favorite of the ALIEN low budget rip offs of the early 80s
