... View MoreGreat movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreThis movie is just bad from start to finish. It was extremely hard to watch the entire thing. I'd give it minus 3 stars.
... View Moreaw man where to start. Easilly hands down the trippiest movie ever made. So many flat out random things happen yet somewhere in between all these occurrences there still lies a plot. I cant really recall how i was able to follow what was going on but it happened. There are so many crazy bizarre characters you just cant turn away. King Fausto creeped me out and his wife was hilarious. Awe man watching this with my girlfriend we kept just looking at each other and saying w....t.....f. The weird cross dressing teacher with the weird lips what the heck was that all about. I honestly can not get over this movie it was so insane, is there anything remotely like this out there? i think not and if there is i need to know about it. Originality at its weirdest.
... View MoreMovies can take us to different kind of worlds, that is one of the variety of powers that cinema have, even, movies can take to us to the Sixth Dimension, and that is what "Forbidden Zone" do."Forbidden Zone" is an totally illogical movie, silly, sticky and funny, and , if this film have this kind of things, make it some difficult to some with a close mind. But those who loves fantastic, for nothing logical adventures, or some bizarre and entertainingly story this is THE movie. "Forbidden Zone" is the story of a place called the Sixth Dimension, which is reign by the King Fausto and the Queen Doris. There is a door who let you enter to this rare world, which locates it in the new house of the Hercules family. There is the beautiful "Frenchy" Hercules, a girl with a lot of curiosity. She decides to enter, and she don't knows the crazy adventure she going to pass."Forbidden Zone" is a wild and original movie, irreverent and totally rough, but is, of course, totally beautiful and artistic. This movie is like a story for midnight,it is a funny one, comic and very easy to digest, as is must to be mention that is a feast for eyes and ears. The music here is really awesome, just for called some as "One of these Days", "Pico and Sepulveda", "Witch's Egg", "Queen Revenge" and that big "Finale" (Writting for that great musician named as Danny Elfman). The scenario is like is a kind of mix of that old 50s and 60s Sci Fi movies (Noted this with the Black and White tone) with a comic book. "Forbidden Zone" got it all! Althoug that i found it really fun, i enjoyed too as art. This is a crazy artistic movie which tell us the story of a world full of strange situations, eccentric scenarios and elements (Some of the scenes in the long table and that candelabrum can be a certain example). I found it even more cozy than "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", another piece of crazy cinema, but the both have the merits. There are other characteristics as is the animation. God! That is another artistic quality, is, as i say, as a cartoon between the reality and the fictitious, that is what this movie is. You as a fan of fantasy and twisted but funny movies going to loved it.This is the "Forbidden Zone", a movie which going to take you to a different, strange place, full of extravagant situations, as its characters, and is exactly about that, is a view of a different illogical (In our context) world, but is maybe as in the "Pico and Sepulveda" Song, the reality, i mean in that world, Mr. Hercules told us "Pico and Sepulveda ... Where nobody's dream come true", but then, beyond in the Sixth Dimension, there something different, maybe is a place where dreams can be true, or at least be different to the rest to reality."Forbidden Zone" is about it ... is about fun, is about art, and is about passing a good time and is of curse a way to scape to another reality.*Sorry for the mistakes...well, if there any.
... View MoreI thought that HEAD by the Monkees and 200 MOTELS by Frank Zappa were horrible, self-indulgent wastes of celluloid made by pop icons...but I may have to re-evaluate them after seeing something even worse, namely FORBIDDEN ZONE. Obviously, from the comments on this thread, there are lots of people who find this dreck entertaining, but it is hard to fathom.Sadism, racism, profanity, vulgarity, even bodily function jokes...yes, all the stuff that drunk or chemically-influenced college boys might find amusing...they're all here in profusion. About the only redeeming factors in this movie are the 30s music tracks, the clever animation, and the references to 30s films and musicians.This film is an example of what happens when an inbred group makes a movie without any accountability or quality control. Avoid it at all costs. (Trivia bit: this is Danny Elfman's first score, and even here he is using Steve Bartek to help with his arrangements. Bartek did orchestration duty on many of Elfman's later "legit" scores.)
