DVD Reviews of Lifeforce
DVD Review: Superb Masterpiece !
Summary: 5 Stars
Since the 70's, Tobe Hooper is one of the best directors around. He is able to manage easily all kinds of budgets, actors, scripts, etc...
This movie is one of the best I've ever seen. The score, the story, the acting, the visual effects are simply outstanding. I can't imagine this film in a shorter version or without Mancini's work.
It was meant to be a dark-sexy-sci-fi-epic since the beginning, but the producers decided to turn it into something else, destroying the material. Hopefuly this guys are not around anymore, and now this masterpiece can be appreciated in its fully original version.
What more can I say ?
Thank you again mr Hooper.
DVD 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. DVD Review: Space Vampires
Summary: 4 Stars
It has interesting and different view on vampires. In this case, its not about blood or even an aspect of the undead. This movie touches the aspect of space vampires who sucks in a sensual manner the lifeforce that we all humans have within ourselves. It touches that in everything there is an energy that exists that gives us our life.DVD Review: Freaked me out as a kid, and pretty sexy for a horror flick
Summary: 5 Stars
An, unusual, kind of classic cult horror movie.
A lot of British actors, filmed in England.
Fairly artistic, and a joke in some parts, but with it's really creepy moments. Sexy. That's what stood out about this movie to me as a kid, it was pretty sexy, traumatic, and ridiculous, all at the same time.
She, the energy vampire chic, runs around London in the nude. Seducing, and leaving freeze dried dead bodies in her wake. Her dessicated victims, stirring with a bit of remaining life, give bedroom eyes to the nearest people, seducing them into being their next victims. A plague ensues. Oh, and I forgot to mention, if they don't feed, they seize/convulse, let out a hag screech, and explode into dust. It's hilarious. Anyway, it's a kind of Love story, this astronaut guy, falls for the lead vampire chic, and it seems she likes him too, because, she won't suck him dry, and they have a telepathic communication thing happening. There some hot and heavy make out scenes, between him and her, and her otherwise nude physique dons a glamorous vamp robe in some parts.
What I thought was cool was the vampires were electrical, and there was some pretty cool, artistic, special effects goin on there.
An end of the world type scenery unfolds, meanwhile, and it's kaos in the streets. Haly's comet can be seen in the sky glowing greenly and creepily overlooking an orgy of frenzied, life force feeding, amongst the populace.
And as all this is happening, various characters, such as scientists and government officials, are running around trying to figure out what's going on. They use the Love sick astronaut guy, to lead them to her, and try to get the deal.
By the way, there is a scene in a helicopter, that WAS VERY CREEPY, and still creeps me out to this day as a 27 year old adult. I still can't stand to think about it in the dark. EWW, very scary. The helicopter scene. It's worth it for that.
Enjoy
DVD Review: Best in its class
Summary: 4 Stars
It's the best space adventure, beautiful naked vampire, zombie plague that destroys London film ever made.
Description of Lifeforce
From the director of Poltergeist and co-writer of Alien comes a thrilling sci-fi adventure of explosive action and pulse-pounding suspense. With mind-blowing special effects by Oscar?(r) winner* John Dykstra, Lifeforce is a sci-fi extravaganza that delivers out-of-this-world excitement. A mission to investigate Halley's Comet discovers an even more fascinating phenomenon: an alien spacecraft! After a deadly confrontation, the aliens travel to Earth, where their seductive leader (Mathilda May) begins a terrifying campaign to drain the life force of everyone she encounters. Her victims, in turn, continue the cycle, and soon the entire planet is in mortal danger.And when the mission's sole survivor (Steve Railsback) sets out to destroy her, he comes face to face with the most charmingand horrifyingbeing he's ever known. Will he be able to destroy the lovely vampiress...or will he become yet another victim of her fatal charm? *1977: Visual Effects, Star WarsDirector 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. That's not really a compliment, since Lifeforce isn't much of a movie when all the sound and fury is over. But you've got to admit there's something crazily admirable about a movie that starts out as a science fiction adventure about a mission to explore Halley's comet, turns into an alien-invasion thriller featuring a beautiful naked woman (Mathilda May) who's a vampire from space, and escalates into an end-of-the-world disaster flick! It's 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 mankind's 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 theatrical trailer. --Jeff Shannon
