So messed up, in so many ways, and I loved every minute of it. Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) directs this bizarre sci-fi / horror film about nudist space vampires that take over London and cause mass infection of more vampires. The late great Dan O’Bannon (Alien, Dark Star) wrote the screenplay and it has to be one of his weirdest premises.
I especially loved the puppets and creature effects in this. The corpses of the vampire victims reanimate after a few hours with wrinkled skin and sunken cheeks, they look awesome. By the way, the vampires don’t bite people, instead they suck their life energy out of their eyes and mouths. The whole thing is such a wild premise but if you just go with it, Lifeforce is one of those unique films that would never get made today and is a pleasure to see such bizarre creativity on display.
