Our take

Brace your eyeballs for one of the decade’s wildest cult films. A not-unproblematic, 80s musical pastiche in which anything can (and will) happen, Forbidden Zone presents American pop culture as the ultimate nightmare—and introduced the world to the music of Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo.
