Ok, alien vampires that infect a space crew that boards their ship & then get to earth & start infecting people (stealing their "lifeforce"). When infected/transformed, people looked like zobies, but were vampires.
Very bizare movie & not really that good. Don't watch unless you are in the mood for a weird & cheesey movie. I only watched this because Tobe Hooper directed it. Don't make the same mistake. Definately one he doesn't put on the ol' resume.
Gorgeous naked vampire girl aside, this film features nothing but scenery chewing from all involved, and I was pretty disappointed with it when I re-watched it last night.
I think it's admirable that they tried some different takes on the vampire genre, but it just never seems to quite gel.
I really wasn't a fan of this. It was trying to be some sort of Epic Sci-Fi that it just shouldn't have bothered trying to be. I can't like this and you can't make me.
Okay. Space vampires (one of which is female and very naked for quite some time) sucking the life out of people and making them into zombies. Add explosions, a lot of unintentional humour, and some sweet 80s special effects and you've got yourself a very entertaining Friday night.
This film rocked! Not only did it have great strory, great effects and a luscious female lead, but the main suprise was Patrick Stewart who played a freaking nut-case!
Fascinating Sci-fi horror movie from Tobe Hooper and Dan 'O Bannon is one of the most underrated of it's kind. Patrick Stewart does a minor role in this movie, i also love how this movie does a interesting reinvention on the vampire and zombie subgenre by telling us that vampires and zombies came from aliens eons ago.
Matilda May steals the show as the main vampiress from space, the special effects are good for it's time and should be seen.
Un film peu connu et pourtant magnifique, dès le début ont est captivé par l'atmosphère sombre et mystérieuse et par le jeu impeccable des acteurs (Steve Railsback en particulier). L'intrigue ne manque pas de saveur et la visite de la "comète" est d'une beauté visuelle rare. Au début, ces vampires d'un nouveau genre sont un mélange de perfection physique et de grâce mais c'est en fait l'image qu'ils projetent dans l'esprit des hommes pour plus facilement sucer leur âmes, leur "force de vie" par la suite... Et d'ailleurs les vampirisés n'ont pas d'autre choix que de prendre l'énergie vitale d'un autre être humain sous peine de dessécher completement avant d'imploser dans un nuage de poussière organique assez stupéfiant. Toutes les scènes de Londres en pleine apocalypse sont aussi impressionantes que terrifiantes et l'étreinte finale des protagonistes de cet amour contre nature fini le film en un véritable feu d'artifice (c'est le cas de le dire) !! Mention spéciale pour le passage dans l'asile (un climat de folie et de désespoir biens rendus) et pour l'apparition de la forme sanglante de Mathilda May dans l'hélicoptère.
Pretty cool vampire zombie effects. Smoking hot alien chick. Pretty TERRIBLE dialog and acting. Especially the captain. "Why do i feel so close to you!?"
Space Vampires? A totally nude for 99% of her screen time Mathilda May? Patrick Stewart's entrails? My god, is there a more perfect vampire movie made in 85? The answer is no, but thanks for trying to guess. All joking aside, this is a seriously amazing movie. If you haven't seen it, please do. Its fx are stellar for the time, and frankly, its about fucking vampires from space.
man, this was such a totally crap film - if it weren't for the free boobies with almost every shot, this would have scored 1 star. It's a much better (and engaging) book.
This is the biggest B grade movie of all time in my opinion. This movie was a young man's way in to the forbidden during a time when there wasn't any internet or dvd. Very dated...but still entertaining.
They could very well have called it "Freakin' Zombie Vampire Demons From Outer Space," because that is an accurate descripton of what this moves has to offer, which is not all that much. This is a B-Movie, pure and simple, yet it seems to be trying to be more than that, and it really doesn't succeed.
Ha ha, this is one of those movies I see on TV. Someone will ask me what I am watching and I will jokingly say, "Lifeforce" and then it turns out to be "Lifeforce".
It's got everything you could want from a horror movie - from zombies running amok in London to rotting corpses and energy bolts to signal the apocalypse to come.
I think the name comes from the fact that this film will suck the Lifeforce out of you. Although Patrick Stewart does have a pretty sweet death scene and the main baddie is a vampire chick that walks around naked for about 85% of the film. Otherwise boring.
