Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce is a sci/fi horror with off-the-wall ideas and some batshit crazy scenes. And I love it!
It's hard to stand out in the vampire and zombie genres, but this film can claim some originality points in both columns.
The movie has plenty of fans today, but it didn't fare too well at the box office or with 1980s critics.
An ambitious effort from Cannon Films, it was one of their attempts to move away from exploitation and action genre pieces and into the higher-concept vehicles.
The movie didn't land where it was intended to, and that bit of a mess factor is what makes it so enthralling to watch.
Naked space vampire girl, Sir Patrick Stewart, and a London apocalypse await.
I'm talking all things Lifeforce, and I hope you'll listen.
