It's a very good movie. It's hard, err difficult to overlook the hot naked lady at first, but eventually you barely notice.

British B movie schlock, I had to drop it after 40 minutes. There, now you have no one to blame but yourself.

Sorry catching up. It's somehow got shoveled to the top of the pile and I wasn't at the table.

Hell yeah!

This is one of my favorite '80s movies hands down. I hope it's the extended version with the full original score but I believe basil paladorius, or however his name is spelled. It's so amazing and I remember seeing it as a young kid, and it just freaked me out and blew me away. Closet didn't hurt for the head vampire chick to be totally hot, especially when you were younger.

I make it a point to watch the full version every year. Easily one of Toby hoopers best films.

I know right. I've had that for I don't know how long, but maybe since 05. Jesus we're all getting old, but that's why we love amazing movies like Lifeforce!

It's still the same source, just different, and more
dynamic, much like Col. Kane bringing the leaded iron scepter to the cathedral to slay the head space female vampire.
