Description

A mission to investigate Halley's Comet discovers an even stranger phenomenon: an alien spacecraft! Following a deadly confrontation, the aliens arrive on Earth, where their seductive leader begins a terrifying campaign to drain the lifeforce of everyone she encounters. Her victims, in turn, continue the cycle, and soon the entire planet is in mortal danger. And when the mission's sole survivor (Steve Railsback, The Stunt Man) sets out to destroy her, he comes face to face with the most charming—and horrifying—being he's ever known. Will he be able to destroy the lovely vampiress…or will he become yet another victim of her fatal charm?

Tobe Hooper’s big budget naked space vampire epic. Excellent effects, story, effects, acting, effects, nudity, and EFFECTS!
People often discuss this epic film for its nudity (and not much else) and I consider that a shame. It’s excellent, features strong acting and an elaborate story, and including great concepts and special effects. I’d recommend it to all horror fans, new and old, critical and horror-hound alike. Director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, TCM Part 2, Poltergeist, Funhouse) is a horror master! Many know of Steven Spielberg’s heavy-handed involvement in Poltergeist and thus question Hooper’s contribution as a director. True. Spielberg is awesome and the family-urgency was likely a product of his influence. But have these Poltergeist nay-sayers even seen Lifeforce!?!?! Get ready for an AMAZING experience! An investigative space mission is graced with the discovery of the millennium! The astronauts unexpectedly encounter a 150-mile-long space vessel during an exploratory mission of Hailey’s Comet. The influence of H. R. Giger is undeniable as the vessel’s interior has an organic motif, as if the explorers were entering the anatomy (even the womb) of a leviathan being—much as in Poltergeist (1982; late in the film) or Alien/Aliens (1979, 1986). The spaceship’s inhabitants are all deceased, and they resemble bat people. You may be thinking “Are we really only 6 minutes into the running time?” The answer is YES. This film has a LOT to offer and it wastes none of your time! While most of the bat-like inhabitants are long dead, the explorers find three preserved, naked, uncannily human lifeforms in stasis chambers—two men, and a woman. Then…something mysterious happens and the mission returns home with zero contact for thirty days. So what happened on that ship that returned with no living crew members? It’s not as obvious as you may think. It’s not until mid-story that Colonel Tom Carlsen (Steve Railsback; Alligator II: The Mutation, Barb Wire, Ed Gein), who was on the original exploratory mission, is recovered as the sole mission survivor in an escape pod to inform the military that an alien vessel was encountered...and what happened on that ship. He comes back a changed man, and the only hope of hunting down the escaped female who is now wandering the streets of London and draining its inhabitants. Our interstellar succubus (Mathilda May; The Jackal) is beyond stunning, supernaturally manipulative, and clearly is on some sort of life-draining mission of her own. Her abilities infect our sexual weaknesses as well as our subconscious desires. So much so that a grown man might feel compelled to kiss Patrick Stewart (Green Room, Dune). For 1985 the special effects are fantastic!!! Utilizing Star Wars-like rotoscoping for space scenes and Ghostbusters-style ectoplasm for supernatural life-sucking effects, you almost forget this film is over 30 years old. The life-drained bodies are desiccated husks and the zombie-esque animatronics of their movement is impressive. Not only are the effects genuinely fantastic, but the concepts are as well. Classical vampire notions like the charming gaze, life-draining, telepathic links, and shapeshifting are clearly present, although cleverly modified. When the astronauts first enter the alien spaceship, it feels “strangely familiar” and when Tom sees the preserved female (Mathilda May) he seems to be entranced. And one can’t argue here, Mathilda May has entrancing boobs and a serious enthusiasm for kissing. Most men would be powerless. The first 20 minutes of this film are more substantial than most entire horror films. I know…you’re thinking “really, John, but all the nudity.” But you’d be wrong. This film remains something special even if there was not a nipple to be seen. Most interesting to me is how this 1985 movie, in the early HIV/AIDS era, captured the raw pansexuality of the vampire. Much as Anne Rice’s Lestat, even a withered male husk can allure another man to his charm. Although the “kiss” is admittedly more distant when male-to-male than when Mathilda tongue-wrangles her drained prey, infectious male-male kissing (or, at least, its implication) is quite frequent. It seems that Hellraiser (1987) and Hellbound (1988) were influenced by the exquisite life-draining effects, which set the bar high. The final segment erupts into an epidemic owing much to Dawn of the Dead (1978), with London immersed in a contagious essence-feeding maelstrom. The effects are consistently high quality and the bat monster is awesome, but the gore doesn’t properly kick in until this third act. Is this movie a work of film art? No. Is it an amazing horror film? YES! Does it have its fair share of heavy exposition? Sure. Do I care? Not at all! They deliver it well and in plausible context. This excellent horror film has my 100% backing. I may have fallen in love with it as a teenager (understandably for the boobs, at that age), but now I would love it if there were not a single nipple to boast. This film is smart, oddly elaborate without getting carried away with itself, and 96% serious in its delivery. Unusual in many respects, and noteworthy in more, this is not the film to miss. ... show more

Love it
Halfway through watching Lifeforce you're wondering why this wasn't a legitimate hit. The monster effects are amazing, the acting is quite good, the concepts are great. Then the second half hits and you see why- things do go off the rails a bit. But this is still an all-time classic for fans of B-movies, horror, and sci-fi. The setup: Astronauts discover a derelict alien spacecraft. Inside they find a lifeform that looks human. They bring this entity back to Earth, only to discover that a soul-sucking alien has been let loose on the populace. Zombies, aliens, nudity, guns, post-apocalypse, and horror ensues. What's good: When people have their titular life force sucked out, they turn into creepily realistic zombies. These effects are absolutely tremendous, and hold up perfectly. They would work fine in a movie released today. There are some scenes- particularly the way the zombies "explode" when they run out of life- that deserve to be picked up in a sequel. Star Mathilda May plays the "Space Girl". She is the eye of the storm, a conduit to suck up all the life force on Earth and transmit it back to her ship. She's also naked for basically the whole movie, and her acting- including but not just limited to her body- is amazing. She adds a Terminator-like robot creepiness to the part, she's far more than just a naked lady. What's actually bad: Especially toward the latter half of the movie, the acting starts to run thin. Great British actors are tasked with delivering cheesy dialog, but no amount of acting can overcome the fact that the script isn't great and the scenes drag. There are also too many themes. It starts out sci-fi like 2001, it becomes a zombie movie, then it's a vampire movie, then it's a post-apocalyptic survival film, then it's a horror movie with religious themes. As the immortal quote from George Lucas goes, They "might have gone a bit too far in a few places". If the movie could have streamlined its list of genres and meld into one solid movie thematically, it would have been a classic. Things to watch out for: The amazing-for-its-budget ripoff of 2001 during the opening. The design of the aliens. Mathilda May's amazing role both in terms of nudity and acting. The creature effects. The amazing miniature shots when London is under siege. The absolutely crazy ending. And more! Lifeforce is an absolute can't-miss movie for all sorts of people. It's just a hair shy of being an outright all-time great movie, mostly due to being too ambitious with too many themes during its runtime. Give it a shot. ... show more

imaginative vampire twist
This movie has a very original twist on the old standard vampire tale, with the horror Cult King director - Tobe Hooper at the helm. It is taut pace movie scripted by Dan O'Bannon (Blue Thunder) from a Colin Wilson (Max Headroom) book. The casts is a powerhouse, Frank Finlay as Dr. Hanns Fallada, Peter Firth Brit Colonel Colin Caine, the always bizarrely brilliant Steve Railsback, Mathilda May as the female Space Vampire (not many lines but she does make an "impression"), Patrick Stewart (pre Jean Luc) as Dr. Armstrong, John Hallam (The Mummy) as Lamson and Chris Jagger as a guard (Yeppers, that is the brother of Mick!). Add in some nifty Special Effects for the vampire victims and you have one really great time! The vampire tale is rather worn, but they manage to give a fresh take on it. Instead of fangs and sucking neck, they suck the "lifeforce" from humans, leaving the body robbed of everything and looking like a "tube of toothpaste all squished out". Worse, in short order we see that it spreads like a plague with the rapidness of dominoes. The movie opens with the return of the multi-national spaceshuttle The Church to earth. It's overdue and they anticipate something is wrong. When the board it, they find the spaceship had been set to flame, the crew supposedly all dead, and three perfect bodies in glass coffins. They haul them back, quarantine them, but they don't stay that way for long. They soon find out they are space vampires and are now a loose on earth. Enter Railsback as the US army Colonel, the only survivor from the Churchill who escaped in a pod. He tells how they found a strange spaceship hidden in Hailey's Comet. When they boarded the found the glass coffins and lots of weird dead bats-type things. He describes how after bringing the coffins back to the Churchill his crew fell under the vampire's control. In an effort to stop them from returning to Earth, he tried to destroy the ship and escaped. His efforts failed and now these vampires are a loose and must "feed" off energy of a human every few hours. When the vampires break loose it's up to Railsback and Firth to save Britain and the Earth. The pace is a roller-coaster ride, the premise is very fresh and original, good effects and bang on acting. So end result is really good film that stands multiple viewings without losing impact. So pop the popcorn, turn out the lights and enjoy a fun time. I mean where else where you see Steve Railsback making smoochies with Jean Luc Piccard?? It's Cult Classic heaven! ... show more

Possibly the best vampire movie ever
Truly a magnificent horror flick from the '80s that still looks great in the '20s. Just beware of the wide dynamic range mix as it was created to be viewed in a cinema (super soft dialogue but overwhelming sound effects), and this version has no English subtitles.

I Love This Film
I was 19 when I saw this film. What attracted me to it was the fact that it was patterned after the sci-fi and horror films of the 50’s and 60’s. John Dykstra was interviewed on a television show about the special effects in the film and he talked about the company he worked with called Apogee, which designed the space vampire’s ship. And now a word about the cast. Steve Railsback as Colonel Tom Carlson. Tragic, yet, conflicted. But convincing as a man trying to know why he is chosen to survive when his crew was killed. How he has this connection with the space vampire. As an audience member, I was suffering with him. Peter Firth as Colonel Kane. A man wanting to know if Carlsen is either telling the truth or a murderer. Frank Finlay as Dr. Hans Fallada. A man who is the most curious. Not just about Carlsen’s ordeal but of the space vampires ‘ purpose. And fascination with death. Last but not least, Mathilda May. Beautiful, seductive, evil. I didn’t expect to see nudity (I admit I was not put off by it, either). In the theatrical version, she didn’t say much until she meets Carlsen again in his nightmare, in Dr. Armstrong’s (played excellently by Patrick Stewart)examination room, the helicopter and the cathedral. In the director’s cut, she has a little more dialogue. She still is beautiful and lovely to this day. Everyone in the cast did a great job. Henry Mancini’s score was excellent(Michael Kamen’s music featured in the theatrical version would be in The Krause and Die Hard 2 ). Tobe Hooper’s direction was a well oiled machine that didn’t stop moving from beginning to the end. ... show more

A guilty pleasure...
I saw this back in the day on cable - HBO, Showtime don't remember and thought it was entertaining but not earth-shaking. Over the years it has become a cult classic - in no small part to Mathilda May. In spite of its large budget ($25 million - sizable for the time) it still has the elements of a B movie which isn't necessarily bad. I watched the Blu-ray last night and was pleasantly surprised by the picture and sound quality. There are a few parts where the image is soft but in other sections the clarity highlights the blemishes in the special effects but that's part of the charm. The last time I owned this movie was on laserdisc and this is a huge step up especially if you own a large screen front projection system. The extras on this disc were quite enjoyable and we find that Ms. May is still an attractive lady. She was also quite fetching in "Teté and the Moon" (1994). I had a laugh during the interview with Steve Railsback when he mentioned a time that Patrick Stewart was on the Tonight Show. Stewart was asked if he remembered his first on-screen kiss. His answer was yes, it was Steve Railsback. Fans of the movie will understand. Some movie-goers in the UK and U.S. were fortunate enough to see this film in a 70mm blow-up with 6 track sound. I thought the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundfield on the Blu-ray was quite immersive. ... show more
