Always meant to watch this but never got around to it. Seems wild. Tobe Hooper has such and odd filmography. Definitely watch it. It's not great but the final act where London gets overtaken (so to speak) reminded me a bit of Return of the Living Dead

I wonder how faithful it is to Colin Wilson’s novel, ‘The Space Vampires’? I didn’t realise Dan O’Bannon co-wrote the screenplay. I've read the novel. The movie uses the basic premise and some scenes are translated pretty faithfully, but overall Lifeforce is a very loose adaptation of "The Space Vampires".

I have created a new quote thread for Lifeforce (1985). Hope to see you there!

LifeForce (1985) Retrospective / Review by Oliver Harper
If you're unfamiliar with his format, his videos begin and end with what are essentially custom trailers. The actual retrospective / review begins at the 3:45 mark. Also be aware there are spoilers!

Schlock of the highest order...love it. PLus I'm always a sucker for films where London gets invaded, damaged, destroyed etc.

Yes, as a teen. I was only interested in that hot female lead being naked the whole movie. I was a dumb teen and not really hard to please at the time.
