The space shuttle Churchill is assigned to observe Halley's Comet under the command of Colonel Tom Carlsen. They see a strange form attached to the comet and Carlsen goes with a team to investigate. They find three humanoid life forms in caskets and they bring them to the Churchill. However, Earth loses contact with the shuttle and the Space Research Center sends another spacecraft to search the Churchill. They find the crew dead and the shuttle burnt and one rescue pod missing. They bring the humanoids to Earth and soon Dr. Hans Fallada and his team discover that the Space Girl is a sort of vampire and drains the life force from people, transforming them into zombies. When the authorities find that Colonel Tom Carlsen has survived, they summon him to explain what happened in the Churchill. Carlsen tells an incredible story about the three aliens and he teams up with Colonel Colin Caine trying to save mankind from the evil vampires from space.
Leave your thoughts about Lifeforce.
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenWatching Lifeforce now is to be reminded that even big-budget films were once allowed to be adventurous and idiosyncratic, even in the 1980s, and that American horror movies were once capable of being fun, sexy, and subversively empathetic. |
| IndieWireDrew TaylorIt has everything a growing horror freak needs: extreme violence, tons of nudity, vampires, mummies, and apocalyptic bedlam. The movie is slyer and smarter than people give it credit for, and absolutely gorgeous-looking. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelIn film circles there's a name for pictures like Lifeforce. Film Comment magazine has dubbed them guilty pleasures, movies you're embarrassed to admit you like. Maybe somebody spiked my popcorn, but I can't deny that I liked Lifeforce. |
| Alexander On FilmChris Alexander"The American cut - with its Michael Kamen music - is the superior version of the film..." |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergThe UK version is 15 minutes longer and makes this bizarre but lovable movie a bit more interesting. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonSeen today, it's actually an astoundingly brave, weird movie that tries more and accomplishes more than many of today's bland roller coaster rides. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. LeeperIt loses some respect with its naked Mathilda May. But I would call this an audacious SF/horror film |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonLifeforce is a near-impossible film to review, at once indescribably awful and hugely, brilliantly entertaining. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jay ScottAs a piece of extraterrestrial-tinged whimsy, Lifeforce occasionally shows weak signs of life, but in the end it falls well short of achieving classic status. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrDirector Tobe Hooper seriously overplays his hand, losing the shape of this 1985 film in a barrage of overblown special effects and screaming Dolby stereo. |
