Movie Reviews of Lifeforce
Movie Review: Lifeforce
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I am a Steve Railsback fan (Helter Skelter), I enjoyed this movie. Knowing that this was not recognized by the Academy for acting or plot, you need to know that it a really good "B" film. However, the animation for its time is excellent. And of course, the significant amount of nudity, with a very healthy and beautiful woman, is a welcome bonus.
Summary of Lifeforce
Director Tobe Hooper was a hot property after he scored a popular hit with Poltergeist (thanks in part to producer Steven Spielberg) so his follow-up film was the most wildly ambitious of his career to date. Armed with a big budget and a special effects crew led by Star Wars pioneer John Dykstra Hooper and Alien cowriter Dan O Bannon whipped up a movie that must be seen to be believed. Thats not really a compliment since Lifeforce isnt much of a movie when all the sound and fury is over. But you have got to admit theres something crazily admirable about a movie that starts out as a science fiction adventure about a mission to explore Halleys comet turns into an alien-invasion thriller featuring a beautiful naked woman (Mathilda May) whos a vampire from space and escalates into an end-of-the-world disaster flick! Its 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! Holding it all together is Steve Railsback as the Halley mission survivor who holds the key to mankinds salvation--but what fun is saving the world when you could be seduced by a sexy naked space vampire? Check out Lifeforce to see how it all turns out. The widescreen DVD includes 15 minutes of footage not seen in U.S. theaters an eight-page booklet of production notes and trivia and the original theatricaltrailer.Starring: Steve Railsback et al.Director: Tobe HooperSystem Requirements:Region 1 encoding (for use in US and Canada only) Color Widescreen Number of discs: 1Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?027616701725Director Tobe Hooper was a hot property after he scored a popular hit with Poltergeist (thanks in part to producer Steven Spielberg), so his follow-up film was the most wildly ambitious of his career to date.
