Anecdotes

Dead Space is a 1991 American science-fiction horror film directed by Fred Gallo and produced by Mike Elliott for Roger Corman's Concorde Pictures. It was a remake of Corman's Forbidden World (1982). According to writer Chris Koetting, "The plot was essentially the same— although this time the scientists were trying to find a cure for an AIDS-type virus— but the sex and gore quotient was substantially reduced, and the monster was even less convincing than the one that was fabricated by Steve Neill in 1982."

Production

The movie is a remake of the 1982, Roger Corman-produced horror film Forbidden World and while there are minor differences, it still retains the original main storyline and character set-up. Singer said that he had fun shooting the movie, and felt that it was an "unpretentious, rip-roaring space adventure."

The film had a working title of Biohazard. Like the original, some of the space battle effects were reused from Battle Beyond the Stars.

The effects team wanted a monster different from anything that had been seen before, a task made more complicated as the movie was shot in three weeks. An inner harness was developed which allowed for rapid mobility of the actor in the monster suit. GM foam and hair inserts were used to show the transformation of human into monster.
