1985 space horror
flick from sometimes acclaimed director
Tobe Hooper (
Poltergeist, The
Texas Chainsaw Massacre) which can pretty much be summed up as it's UK working title "Vampires from Outer Space".
While sometimes poor on dialog and hit or miss when it comes to special effects, very few movies have managed to get underneath my skin in quite the way Lifeforce does. While the idea of zombies parading around London in the wake of Halley's Comet may not seem the most stunning idea for a movie, Mathilda May's unearthly presence manages to chill me in nearly ever scene she shows up in.
Also stars: Peter Firth, Patrick Stewart
