Product description

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, THE TERROR BEGINS

When a space shuttle crew finds a mysterious spacecraft containing three human-looking creatures in a state of suspended animation, they bring them back to Earth for further investigation.

Its only then that scientists discover that they are in fact a race of space vampires that feed off peoples life-force, rather than their blood. So when they escape and run amok in London, the consequences are apocalyptic C and the shuttle crews only survivor (Steve Railsback) seems to be the only man who can stop them.

Based on Colin Wilsons novel The Space Vampires, with a screenplay co-written by Dan OBannon (Alien, Return of the Living Dead) and directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist), this lively sci-fi horror romp has a stellar cast including Peter Firth, Frank Finlay and Patrick Stewart C although its Mathilda Mays appearance as the seductive alien leader that attracts the most attention to this day.

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2007
    Danny Boyle was not the first person to realise that zombies can run like the clappers. That honour belongs to Lifeforce, which is, of course, the greatest naked space vampire zombies from Halley's Comet running amok in London end-of-the-world movie ever made. Tobe Hooper may have made a lot of crap, but for this deliriously demented epic sci-fi horror he deserves a place among the immortals. Plus it offers space vampire Mathilda May, the best thing to come out of France since Simone Simon, spending the entire movie naked. Which she does very, very well. Just bear in mind that while she is the most overwhelmingly feminine presence anyone on Earth has ever encountered, she's also "totally alien to this planet and our life form and totally dangerous." It's a pitch meeting I'd have loved to have sat in on: Astronauts from the British space program find three naked humanoid alien life forms inside a giant 150-mile long artichoke/umbrella shaped spaceship hidden in the tail of Halley's Comet filled with giant desiccated bats and bring them back to Earth with near apocalyptic results as they proceed to drain the population of London of their lifeforce amid much nudity, whirlpools of thunder and spit your coffee across the room direlogue ("I've been in space for six months, and she looks perfect to me." "Assume we know nothing, which is understating the matter." "Don't worry, a naked woman is not going to get out of this complex."). Oh, and we'll get the writers of Alien and Blue Thunder to write it with uncredited rewrites by the writer of Mark of the Devil, The Sex Thief and Eskimo Nell and the director of The Jonestown Monster. Sounds like a winner, here's $22m - have fun. And they do, they do.

    True, there's enough promise in the raw material to have made something genuinely creepy and thought-provoking (at a time when AIDS hysteria was approaching its height, a sexually transmitted 'plague' offers ample opportunity for allegory), but in the hands of the Go-Go boys at Cannon, what could have been another Quatermass and the Pit quickly turns instead to be more Plan 10 From Outer Space. It's full-to-bursting with delirious inanity, be it Frank Finlay's hilarious death scene ("Here I go!"), Peter Firth's grand entrance ("I'm Colonel Caine." "From the SAS?" discreetly shouts Michael Gothard across a room full of reporters: "Gentlemen, that last remark was not for publication. This is a D-Notice situation" he replies to the surprisingly obliging pressmen), the security guards offering Mathilda May's naked space vampire a nice biscuit to stop her escaping, reanimated bodies exploding into dust all over people, the sweaty Prime Minister sucking the life out of his secretary ("Miss Haversham! Miss Haversham!") and London filling up with zombie nuns, stockbrokers and joggers as the city gets its most comprehensive on screen trashing since Mrs Gorgo lost junior at Battersea Funfair and went on the rampage. And that's not mentioning the "This woman is a masochist! An extreme masochist!" scene or the great stereophonic echo effect on the male vampire's "It'll be a lot less terrifying if you just come to me" line while a lead-stake wielding Peter Firth adopts his best Action Man voice to reply "I'll do just that!" In one scene alone you have a possessed Patrick Stewart embodying the female in our deeply confused astronaut hero's mind, Steve "I-never-got-over-playing-Charlie-Manson" Railsback and his amazing dancing eyebrows in full-on "Helta-Skelta!" mode trying to resist the temptation to kiss him, the inimitable Aubrey Morris (the only man who makes Freddie Jones look restrained) playing the Home Secretary Sir Percy Heseltine as a kind of demented Brian Rix, Peter Firth (one of those actors who always looks like he must have been a Doctor Who around the time no-one was watching it anymore) hamming up the blas public school macho in the hope that no-one will ever see it and the peerless reaction shots of John Hallam as the male nurse who keeps on opening the door mid-psychic-tornado to bring in more drugs. As if they needed any more in this film. It's just a shame that Frank Finlay's mad-haired scientist who isn't qualified to certify death on alien life forms (a role originally intended for Klaus Kinski) missed out on the action in that one.

    No matter how mad you think the film is, it still manages to get madder still, whether it be a zombie pathologist ("He too needs feeding") exploding all over the Home Secretary's suit, Patrick Stewart's blood and entrails forming a naked Mathilda May or the space vampires turning St Paul's Cathedral into the world's biggest laser-show to transport human souls from the London Underground to their geostationary mother ship. I loved every gloriously insane moment. In it's own truly unique way, this might be the greatest film ever made.

    While the DVD offers a non-anamorphic transfer of the 116-minute version with a trailer the only extra, both Shout Factory's US Region A-locked Blu-ray and Arrow's region B Blu-ray offer both the original 116-minute version that opened in the UK and the heavily edited 101-minute US version, which loses most of the spectacular opening and a lot of entertaining inanity in its misguided desire to up the pace. The longer version not only offers much more hilarity for your dollar, but also fully restores Henry Mancini's score to its original glory (the US version covered a lot of the gaps with additional cues by Michael Kamen and James Guthrie). Although a somewhat surprising choice at first sight, Mancini cut his teeth on many of the classic Universal sci-fi horrors of the 50s and his score is quite superb, with a terrific driving main title that offers a rare reminder of just how interesting he could be away from Blake Edwards.

    There are some subtle differences between the transfers on the two pressings - the UK edition is spread over two discs (with the extras all on the same disc as the long version) while the US edition crams both versions of the film and the extras onto a single disc, with some resulting minor compression issues. The grading on the US edition has also been slightly tweaked by Hooper to make Ms May's flesh tones look colder, the UK edition following the original grading.

    Both versions share new interviews with Mathilda May, Tobe Hooper and Steve Railsback, two audio commentaries and trailers, but each has unique extras as well - the US release the original making of documentary, the British one an additional commentary by the VFX artist and, best of all, a terrific new 70-minute documentary with Hooper, Nicholas Ball, serial overactor Aubrey Morris, script doctor Michael armstrong and various members of the crew recounting an endless shoot (long enough for May to learn perfect English) with a director described as a demonic dwarf with impeccable manners fuelled by caffeine, cigars and other substances and doesn't stint on the problems of, er, downstairs grooming for its leading lady.

    Let joy be unconfined!

    I have seen this movie about three times over the last six years in it's so called theatrical cut, you have some more crazy mayhem at the end in this version, but this is nothing of any importance! The extended cut or what can you call it? It is not the true director's cut, imdb reports a 128min version was done by Tobe Hooper, but nevermind! The available longer cut 111mins/116mins, depending on the dvd you are buying, ntsc or pal(!) is absolutly awesome! It has a much more homogenic feel to it, then the theatrical cut, this movie is absolutly gripping, sure the male audience might be gripped more by the about 10 minutes of on screen nudity of the amazing Mathilda May, i have to say, damn, she is gorgeous! As Steve Railsback characters says: She is perfect!;), for the girls, there is some male nudity, but no! There is no male anatomy swinging around!:(
    But trust me, there is more then just plenty of naked people! There is a fantastic score done by the amazingly talented Henry Mancini, stunningly visual effects by John Dykstra, just by giving you examples of the works these two where involved i could fill a book! Dan O'Bannon was involved in the script writing, you have Tobe Hooper as the director and a truly stellar cast, like Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Patrick Stewart (yes, Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek TNG), of course as mentioned Mathilda May (in her screen debut)! This is probably the biggest and most ambitious project ever financed by Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus!
    If you like the before-mentioned cast, if you like amazing visual effects, stunning ideas, amazing prostetic effects as well as brilliant old school animatronic effects, if you are in for a great score and if you love the eighties!
    This is your movie!
    The US-DVD i purchased here, came very cheap, it's not anamorph, but worth the few bucks, it is a shame though, that there is no special edition available, but maybe in the future! But until then, get this one, because this is a truly great science-fiction treat for everyone!

    As a Sci-fi fan born in the early 90s I know the charms of Silent Running, the influential magnitude of Mertroplis and I even know how Soylent Green is made. These are great science fiction films that even if you weren't born when they were released all sci-fi fans know of them because they are cult classics and will always have an active fanbase. So how come so many people including myself have never heard of Lifeforce. Perhaps it's the crappy title (though it's an improvement over the original source called Space Vampires) which sounds like a Yoga instruction video but this film is a classic. It's well made with some astounding practical special effects which I would say are as good as Carpenter's 'The Thing' (and that is very high praise indeed). It is simply so much fun, it starts off like Alien with the investigation of a derelict space craft, then turns into a hunt for the killer alien on Earth before turning all apocalyptic with panic on the streets of London and the end of the world insight. The alien woman is naked all the time and although it sounds exploitative it's actually a very clever part of the plot and the lack of shame at being nude and stared at makes it feel even more alien. This film is on quite a large scale for it's time and it's interesting seeing such an epic story filled with British actors and settings. This British-ness combined with the nudity and horror special effects create the feeling of the most epic Hammer Horror production ever. This is a great film which deserves to be viewed by a modern audience, it's well made, well acted and it is fun to see a film that is British but has no restraint, it is aiming to be as epic as possible and it achieves this in a really great opening and climax.

    5.0 out of 5 stars ARRIVED ON TIME
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 November 2024
    A great Blu-ray of a very underrated vampire movie from the late Tobe Hooper. This film was inspired by Alien 1979, except it has space vampires instead of Xenomorphs. The make up still looks okay for the time it was made, but really good jump scares. The beautiful Mathilda May plays a great vampire in this film and it had a great cast of UK actors in it. This is one of those films that blends horror and science fiction really well. I would recommend it for anyone who loves vampire movies. Thank you غ.

    5.0 out of 5 stars La meilleure dition Blu-ray niveau qualit d'image
    Reviewed in France on 29 October 2015
    En comparant avec l'dition anglaise la plus belle image est incontestablement celle de ce Blu-ray fran?ais. L'image a de plus belles couleurs, plus de contraste moins de souffle et de grain que l'dition anglaise. Elle est beaucoup plus pure et tout aussi dfinie. C'est le point positif primordial de cette dition mon sens. Ensuite on pourra bien s?r regretter qu'il n'y ait pas les bonus de l'dition anglaise, mais bizness is bizness rien n'interdit d'acheter aussi l'dition anglaise si vous tes fan de ce film. (Vous trouverez aussi une interview de Mathilda May sur l'dition anglaise et d'autres bonus absents ici). Les puristes regretteront aussi que c'est un speed up master (acclr en 25 images/seconde, comme tous les films qui passent sur la tl europenne) mais au moins si vous avez vu la version courte TV/DVD vous ne trouverez pas que celle-ci manque de punch en comparaison. Il ne manque pas un plan par rapport l'dition anglaise. Il y a tout de mme un bonus sur cette dition. Le film est vraiment intressant et pas seulement parce que l'on voit Mathilda May nue du dbut la fin.( Le film est cependant tous publics). Le scnario est palpitant, les effets spciaux trs bons (rien voir avec les CGI) et la musique excellente. Ce film tir d'une nouvelle (The Space Vampires) nous questionne sur la nature mme de notre existence. Sans doute le seul film de Tobe Hooper qui ne soit pas un film d'horreur. Quant- la jaquette je trouve moi que c'est la plus jolie des 3 ditions Blu-ray !
