It's not a good movie. In fact it's a bad movie, but it's also great in its badness.

It is quite the sight to behold. A wild and gonzo ride, with some really great ideas at play. How it failed soo hard back in the day is beyond me, but I guess I can understand how the nudity can make some people uncomfortable. It's an unconventional sci-fi/horror flick, and for that alone it deserves to be seen.

LIFEFORCE (1985) - By the mid '80s, Cannon Films was looking to move away from low-budget, disposable fare like HOSPITAL MASSACRE (1981) and BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO (1984). Owners Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus had loftier ambitions: They wanted a blockbuster; a big-budget smash that they coul More

The promise of 1980s, practical effects, and energy vampires with no clothes on is apparently all it takes to get me to watch a movie.

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

Starts off with good music. Familiar looking 80s space scene minus a decent looking ship. Nice cheesy effects. Are those the freezing pod things from Superman? Then the plot is set up. Space vampires who become seductive life force draining beings? Sure I'll go with. It's about time someone More
