First of all, this film will separate viewers into two groups: either you get it or you don't, love it or hate it. For me I got it, and think it's one of the more amazing films I've seen in recent years. It's unabashedly weird, obscene, hilarious, and a musical masterpiece... I just can't get enough of this film! I've had to limit the number of times I watch this just because I don't want the experience to stale.I'd recommend this musical to anyone with an off-kilter sense of humor who yearn to stretch the limits of what constitutes a "film". Every time I watch it I see something new.There really isn't another film I could compare it to and give it justice, so I won't... but I love camp, British humor, and musicals so if you have similar tastes give it a shot.And if you're one of the ones who love it, you'll be humming the tunes ("bim bam boom") and screening the "Forbidden Zone" with your friends!

Indescribably weird from the off, like a box full of strangeness being tipped upside down and all over the place. We've got a transvestite teacher, a butler with the head of a toad, sex-obsessed adults masquerading as kids, and the midget from 'The Man With The Golden Gun' and that doesn't even skim the surface. Forget about a plot - after about an hour of camp music, wacky dialogue and over-the-top actors so bizarre that it's possible they actually live on the set you will feel reasonably prepared for whatever else this crazy f**king film will spray you with. That, and let's not forget that it's really a black and white musical! Hold on tight. 75% - Monty Python, 10% - Carry On movie, 8% - Unquantifiable Weirdness, 7% - B.D.S.M fixation

Movies 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.
