so many movies ... so much to celebrate!!!
On this day in 1982 (in the U.S.), the incomparable Roger Corman released the incomparable Forbidden World (aka Mutant) on the unsuspecting masses. Essentially, the film borrowed heavily from many SciFi flicks that had come before -- Ridley Scott's Alien definitely comes to mind in a single viewing -- and, naturally, it served up some hammy acting along with some campy situations. Directed by Allan Holzman from a story by Tim Curnen, Jim Wynorski, and R.J. Robertson, the film starred Don Olivera, Jesse Vint, June Chadwick, and others.
