T...Apparently this was quite a troubled production. There was a retrospective in an issue of Fangoria sometime late last year which I never picked up. <BR/><BR/>Corman spent more on this film, though than he normally did. His BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS was estimated at 2 million and GALAXY OF TERROR was just a bit less. Corman had such stress on these two films, that for FORBIDDEN WORLD (1982), he went back to his penny pinching ways.<BR/><BR/>Presumably, Englund's character would seemingly die anyways. Even after conquering his fear allowing him to leave, he wouldn't be able to leave the planets surface.venoms5https://www.blogger.com/profile/13655919099947763891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467807781586384838.post-81309376234890072852009-03-30T03:49:00.000-07:002009-03-30T03:49:00.000-07:00Watched this last night and absolutely loved it!Co...Watched this last night and absolutely loved it!<BR/><BR/>Considering that this was made on a low budget,the look of the sets as well as the special effects are stunning.All of the crew members deaths are imaginatively grisly and in some cases very funny especially the guy that gets killed by his own severed arm!<BR/><BR/>The storyline is obviously very derivative but i did like the idea of the Master and the surprise ending.<BR/><BR/>It's not entirely clear what happened to Robert Englunds character who prior to the finale had already conquered his own fears.<BR/><BR/>9 out of 10.Sean Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12709291357370774263noreply@blogger.com
