Amazon.co.uk Review
Director Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, the follow-up to his most popular hit Poltergeist, is a film that must be seen to be believed. That's not really a compliment, though, since Lifeforce isn't much of a movie when all the sound and fury is over. But you've got to admit there's something crazily admirable about a picture that starts out as a science fiction mission to Halley's comet, turns into an alien-invasion thriller featuring a beautiful naked woman (Mathilda May) who's a vampire from space and escalates into an end-of-the-world disaster flick.
Armed with a big budget and a special effects crew led by Star Wars pioneer John Dykstra, Hooper and Alien cowriter Dan O'Bannon have whipped up a concoction that's got everything anyone could ask of a horror movie--from zombies running amok in London to rotting corpses and energy bolts that signal the apocalypse to come. Keeping it all together is Steve Railsback as the Halley-mission survivor who holds the key to mankind's salvation--but what fun is saving the world when you could be seduced by a sexy naked space vampire? Check out Lifeforce to see how it all turns out. --Jeff Shannon

The greatest naked space vampire zombies from Halley's Comet running amok in London end-of-the-world movie ever made.......2007-12-15
Danny Boyle was not the first person to realise that zombies can run like the clappers. That honour belongs to Lifeforce, which is, of course, the greatest naked space vampire zombies from Halley's Comet running amok in London end-of-the-world movie ever made. Tobe Hooper may have made a lot of crap, but for this deliriously demented epic sci-fi horror he deserves a place among the immortals. Plus it offers space vampire Mathilda May, the best thing to come out of France since Simone Simon, spending the entire movie naked. Which she does very, very well. Just bear in mind that while she is the most overwhelmingly feminine presence anyone on Earth has ever encountered, she's also "totally alien to this planet and our life form and totally dangerous." It's a pitch meeting I'd have loved to have sat in on: Astronauts from the British space program find three naked humanoid alien life forms inside a giant 150-mile long artichoke/umbrella shaped spaceship hidden in the tail of Halley's Comet filled with giant desiccated bats and bring them back to Earth with near apocalyptic results as they proceed to drain the population of London of their lifeforce amid much nudity, whirlpools of thunder and spit your coffee across the room direlogue ("I've been in space for six months, and she looks perfect to me." "Assume we know nothing, which is understating the matter." "Don't worry, a naked woman is not going to get out of this complex."). Oh, and we'll get the writers of Alien and Blue Thunder to write it with uncredited rewrites by the writer of Mark of the Devil, The Sex Thief and Eskimo Nell and the director of The Jonestown Monster. Sounds like a winner, here's $22m - have fun. And they do, they do.
True, there's enough promise in the raw material to have made something genuinely creepy and thought-provoking (at a time when AIDS hysteria was approaching its height, a sexually transmitted 'plague' offers ample opportunity for allegory), but in the hands of the Go-Go boys at Cannon, what could have been another Quatermass and the Pit quickly turns instead to be more Plan 10 From Outer Space. It's full-to-bursting with delirious inanity, be it Frank Finlay's hilarious death scene ("Here I go!"), Peter Firth's grand entrance ("I'm Colonel Caine." "From the SAS?" discreetly shouts Michael Gothard across a room full of reporters: "Gentlemen, that last remark was not for publication. This is a D-Notice situation" he replies to the surprisingly obliging pressmen), the security guards offering Mathilda May's naked space vampire a nice biscuit to stop her escaping, reanimated bodies exploding into dust all over people, the sweaty Prime Minister sucking the life out of his secretary and London filling up with zombie nuns, stockbrokers and joggers as the city gets its most comprehensive on screen trashing since Mrs Gorgo lost junior at Battersea Funfair and went on the rampage. And that's not mentioning the "This woman is a masochist! An extreme masochist!" scene or the great stereophonic echo effect on the male vampire's "It'll be a lot less terrifying if you just come to me" line while a lead-stake wielding Peter Firth adopts his best Action Man voice to reply "I'll do just that!" In one scene alone you have a possessed Patrick Stewart embodying the female in our deeply confused astronaut hero's mind, Steve "I-never-got-over-playing-Charlie-Manson" Railsback and his amazing dancing eyebrows in full-on "Helta-Skelta!" mode trying to resist the temptation to kiss him, the inimitable Aubrey Morris (the only man who makes Freddie Jones look restrained) playing the Home Secretary Sir Percy Heseltine as a kind of demented Brian Rix, Peter Firth (one of those actors who always looks like he must have been a Doctor Who around the time no-one was watching it anymore) hamming up the blasé public school macho in the hope that no-one will ever see it and the peerless reaction shots of John Hallam as the male nurse who keeps on opening the door mid-psychic-tornado to bring in more drugs. As if they needed any more in this film. It's just a shame that Frank Finlay's mad-haired scientist who isn't qualified to certify death on alien life forms (a role originally intended for Klaus Kinski) missed out on the action in that one.
No matter how mad you think the film is, it still manages to get madder still, whether it be a zombie pathologist ("He too needs feeding") exploding all over the Home secretary's suit, Patrick Stewart's blood and entrails forming a naked Mathilda May or the space vampires turning St Paul's Cathedral into the world's biggest laser-show to transport human souls from the London Underground to their geostationary mother ship. I loved every gloriously insane moment. In it's own truly unique way, this might be the greatest film ever made.
The DVD offers the original 116-minute version that opened in the UK rather than the heavily edited 101-minute US version, which not only offers much more hilarity for your dollar, but also fully restores Henry Mancini's score to its original glory (the US version covered a lot of the gaps with additional cues by Michael Kamen and James Guthrie). Although a somewhat surprising choice at first sight, Mancini cut his teeth on many of the classic Universal sci-fi horrors of the 50s and his score is quite superb, with a terrific driving main title that offers a rare reminder of just how interesting he could be away from Blake Edwards. Sadly there's no more than a trailer by way of extras, though it would be nice to hope some day for a special edition with some of the deleted scenes from Hooper's originally intended 128-minute cut: from what's on display here, these might just offer even more comedy gold!
not one of tobe hoopers best ........2007-12-04
i bought this movie purely on the reputation of "the funhouse " eaten alive" & "texas chainsaw " movies by horror director tobe hooper.but i was disappointed ! even with all the horror,sci-fi effects it was too tame!
steve railsback played an astronaut on a mission involving haleys comet,he finds 3 lifeforms which turn out to be space vampires! the rest of the crew of the "churchill" spacecraft perish & carlsen(railsback)escapes in a pod back to earth,but a rescue mission brings back all 3 lifeforms to earth bringing catastrophic
consequenses.humans are drained of energy &become zombie like .other stars
in this movie are frank finlay,colin firth & patrick stewart who dies a
nasty bloody death! i bought the r1 ntsc copy and @ 119 minutes you start
yawning, lots of nudity & gore but maybe because the production was centred in london it was "restrained" in some way by u.k. laws.
The stuff of legend - just not for all the right reasons..........2007-11-13
Wow. What a sure thing this must have seemed at the time. Tobe Hooper, fresh from 'Poltergeist' - assuming that film was not, as many maintain, in fact directed by Spielberg - hooking up with Dan O'Bannon, writer of 'Alien,' with the the FX geniuses behind 'Star Wars' in tow. An epic tale of life and death, extra-terrestrials and psychic powers, male and female sexuality... but there, in that one sentence, you see where the problems begin. There are a hell of a lot of grandiose ideas crammed into 'Lifeforce.' Now, it's perfectly within the realms of possibility to take on that much and succeed; but when it's approached in so po-faced a manner as it is here, the results can easily slip towards - well - the laughable.
It's such a shame in a way, because so much of it works. The film looks great even by modern standards; the FX are by and large very impressive. But the writing and acting... it's putting it mildly to say it leaves a lot to be desired. There's no denying the inherent absurdity of vampires from outer space invading the earth in the form of a sexually super-powered naked woman, but the cast seems to think they're performing Ibsen. In the hands of a more cerebral director - Cronenberg or Verhoven maybe - it might have worked. Sadly, this film is as good an indication as any as to why Hooper's career nosedived the way it did.
On the plus side - Mathilda May. Also - Mathilda May. And, in addition - MATHILDA MAY. Good God Almighty, she is so gorgeous, so built, and so wonderfully naked, it beggars belief. Not only that, but she actually embodies her character perfectly, something her male counterparts (clothed and otherwise) totally fail to do. She is sensually captivating, and extremely sinister at the same time. If anything saves 'Lifeforce' from being a total loss (for hetero males and gay women, at least), it's her presence.
Is that enough? You be the judge. As FX-driven semi-erotic sci-fi horror melodramas go, there are worse - the 'Species' sequels, for instance - but this is the 'Cleopatra' of the genre. It's absurd, it's over the top, it takes itself far too seriously - yet there's something oddly captivating about it, something hard to define...
... oh, wait, that's it, it's MATHILDA MAY IN THE NUDE.
Lifeforce - What A Shock!.......2007-10-09
I just watched this and couldn't have been more surprised - it was great.
That is where lots of producers go wrong. So many producers feel they can make up for a lousy story with computer graphics. But we don't care about how much you show off you with your fancy special computer effects - all we care about a good story - and boy this film had it - it is the most essential element of a good film. Questions were answered as you went through so as not to frustrate the viewer - and it worked.
It was excellent - and it was British!
I'm not a big Tobe Hooper fan, but he hit a cinematic home run with Lifeforce.......2007-10-07
More times than I would like, I've found myself forced to express my disappointment over a Tobe Hooper film. Not this time, though, as Tobe Hooper has finally impressed me with this incredible science fiction/horror/apocalyptic motion picture. I freakin' loved this movie. Heck, even if you took away the hot naked alien chick, I would still love Lifeforce. What's not to like? You start out exploring a most unexpected alien vehicle found in the coma of Halley's comet, arrive back on Earth with a trio of space vampires who soon unleash havoc all over London, enjoy some pretty impressive and certainly entertaining special effects of creatures having all of their juices sucked right out of them and then reanimating to do the same to someone else, then work your way to a London burning to the ground as zombie-like humans run amuck in the streets. Throw in a not-yet-totally-bald Patrick Stewart in a performance that would prepare him well for his later assimilation into the Borg collective, a score written by Henry Mancini and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, and what I consider (though some might call them cheesy) some fantastic special effects (with one embarrassing exception) - and all of it with a 1985 budget of only twenty-five million dollars. How can you not have a good time watching this movie?
The film opens with an ESA spaceship called the HMS Churchill arriving for a scientific rendezvous with Halley's Comet, but the mission changes when a huge artificial structure is detected within the coma of the interstellar attraction. Exploring the mysterious craft, the space explorers find a huge number of desiccated, bat-like aliens - and three perfectly preserved humanoid specimens, one of which is the gloriously naked Mathilda May. Unable to communicate with Earth, the ship heads back home, meeting with some kind of disaster along the way. The ESA has to ask NASA to explore the seemingly derelict ship, but all they find are the three undisturbed alien bodies amidst a scene of burned-out destruction. The mystery of these alien creatures increases exponentially when the hot, naked alien chick suddenly wakes up, turns a security guard into a stunt double for the Crypt Keeper with one hell of a kiss, and escapes. She may be gone, but she's certainly not forgotten, as scientists, SAS agent Caine (Peter Firth) and a government minister (Aubrey Morris) observe her victim wake up on the autopsy table and suck the life force out of a doctor. Apparently, the lifeforce-sucking takes place at two-hour intervals, which makes it ultra-important that they find the missing alien they now consider a space vampire.
A few answers become available when an escape pod comes to earth carrying the only survivor from the Churchill, Carlsen (Steve Railsback). Railsback tends to overact quite a bit in a scream-happy kind of way, but he does have a mysterious connection to the hot naked space vampire (who, regrettably, not only dons clothes but completely different bodies as she seeks to escape detection). Things really heat up from this point on, especially when the not-so-derelict alien spacecraft leaves Halley's Comet and starts heading toward Earth. With our heroes unable to contain the space vampire outbreak, London literally begins collapsing from within, and Earth's only hope for survival seems to depend solely on Carlsen's mysterious connection to the alien space vampire.
If you like screaming, you'll enjoy the efforts of Steve Railsback and Patrick Stewart in this department, but I think most viewers (especially male viewers) will agree with me that Mathilda May pretty much makes the movie. And I for one think the special effects are pretty impressive with the one exception (maybe all of the special effects guys were sick that day and Tobe Hooper did that one himself). Hats off to Tobe Hooper for this cinematic effort, as it is the kind of film you can enjoy over and over again.

Overlooked zombie classic.......2007-06-15
An intriguing mix of Sci-fi and Horror film, Lifeforce starts slow paced but soon picks up speed reminiscent of a good zombie flick. The second half in particular has some great scenes of london in turmoil the likes of which you wish they had shown in 28 days later. The plot is a little goofy but then the whole situation is a little... unusual. Gets a star just for being a presentable London zombie film.
