Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo tour the kinky realm of little King Fausto (Herve Villechaize) and his queen (Susan Tyrrell).

Forbidden Zone's sheer gleeful-strangeness quotient still humbles that of any big-screen musical that's come since.

3/4

Where else can one see Fantasy Island's Herve Villechaize as the king of another dimension, an Oscar nominee as his wife, and Batman / Spider-Man composer Danny Elfman as Satan?

4.5/5

The music is awesome and one of the main reasons to seek this out. The visuals are fantastic and the colorization of the black and white-shot film gives it a dreamlike feel that adds to the experience.

3/10

If viewers can make it through the opening scene, it's safe to say they'll be prepared for the appalling singularities that follow.

3/5

It's frequently offensive and never clever, but it remains a unique and strangely magical movie.

Uneven, to put it mildly, but audacious in its daring to be different.

Cult-film lovers rejoice! Imagine splicing episodes of The Banana Splits/H.R. PufNStuff with a 1950s era stag film, then mix in some industrial strength psilocybin, and that approximates the experience of watching this movie. It will disturb your subconscious for a distressing week. Also, insanely politically incorrect, including some major blackface, a painfully offensive Jewish moneychanger in the 6th dimension, and plenty of gay jokes. So what ever happened to Giselle Lindley, anyway?
