where is tobe hooper’s star on the hollywood walk of fame??? no justice in this world…
sarah squirmDec 28, 2022I heard there’s a remake of this in the works starring Alexandra Daddario. Source: my dreams. Why don’t people make movies like this anymore? Has the world just become completely devoid of fun? A Tobe Hooper 80s horror/sci-fi campfest where sexy naked space vampires try to…
Matt!Oct 16, 2017Cannon spent 50 million dollars (adjusted) on Tobe Hooper's cinematic essay on unwanted erections.

In space no one wears clothes - apparently! "Now she has clothes!" Sci-Fi horror from Tobe Hooper and the fabulous folks at Cannon Films about space vampires that come down to earth to suck everyone's LIFEFORCE via a botched space observation mission of Halley's…
VIVE_le_FILTHOct 6, 2019So. * Not a single decent performance except maybe Patrick Stewart, who gets to make out with Steve Railsback (spoiler alert). I have no idea who Steve Railsback is, but he gets to make out with Patrick Stewart. * We have outer space, vampires, zombies, energy beams,…
Sally Jane BlackFeb 26, 2021This movie is very entertaining! It was a financial flop when it was first released. I hadn’t seen it since the 80s. I enjoyed it back then for a totally different reason I do today. As a late teen I enjoyed it because it has a lot of nudity. It has become a cult classic!…

This movie was made soley because the director was horny. Teenage boys could rent this to fap to and say "but mom it's science fiction!". Horny vampire space aliens wreak havoc on London, if that space crew were all woman none of this would have happened 🤷♀️ And poor…
KatOct 31, 2025RESEÑA EN ESPAÑOL REVIEW FOR THE DIRECTOR’S CUT So this rewatch has been a long time coming. I was encouraged by fellow LB user Shane Akers to give this DC a shot, as apparently it’s an improvement over the theatrical cut. Honestly, I remembered very little about…

If anyone had to rely on me to save the humanity, unfortunately I would let the space girl to suck the life out of me.
Jefferson Miller is "meh" onLifeforceFor a movie featuring a beautiful naked woman through the majority of the film, Jean-Luc Picard, and space vampires, it's pretty dang dry and the plot is a mess.
theblondeone likedLifeforceIt’s a 3/5 stars. Not the best movie ever but not the worst. Middle of the road. The main male character ends up with the villain even though he semi-hates her??

Lifeforce shows off Mr. Hooper's way with a whirling mass of protoplasm, just as Poltergeist did. But its style is shrill and fragmented enough to turn Lifeforce into hysterical vampire porn.
Janet Maslin
The New York Times
Watching Lifeforce now is to be reminded that even big-budget films were once allowed to be adventurous and idiosyncratic, even in the 1980s, and that American horror movies were once capable of being fun, sexy, and subversively empathetic.
