Lifeforce Movie Download

6 / 10

Strangely hypnotic because of the special effects
Lifeforce is ludicrously campy horror film let down by a confusing story, a wooden lead actor but it has great special effects.

The disreputable Cannon Group were hoping that Lifeforce would be the Citizen Kane of horror movies. Golan and Globus must have found out that it was indeed Steven Spielberg who directed most of the good bits of Poltergeist.

The joint NASA/ESA space shuttle project, Churchill reaches Halley’s Comet under the command of Colonel Tom Carlsen (Steve Railsback.) Inside the comet they find an alien spaceship.

When the astronauts go for a closer look they discover giant bats and three naked humanoid bodies in a crystal chamber. They decided to bring the humanoids to their spaceship.

The story jumps 30 days later when the space shuttle returns to earth’s orbit. The crew are dead apart from the humanoids who turn out to be space vampires. They suck the lifeforce out of humans who then go on a zombie rampage in London.

Colonel Carlsen is left alive and together with SAS soldier Colonel Colin Caine they want to track down and kill the remaining space vampires.

French actress Mathilda May is gratuitously wholly naked throughout the movie as the sole alien humanoid. She mesmerises men and sucks their lifeforce out. When the aliens are in a laboratory, there are no soldiers on guard to prevent any harm coming to the scientists.

The plot is confusing, I am still unsure why London ended up with zombies running amok. That bit of the story was straight out of Quatermass and the Pit. Railsback is awful, even the zombies out act him.Read More
