Lifeforce

A mind-scrambling alien-zombie-vampire sextravaganza unlike any other horror film of the 1980s, this wildly out-there sci-fi spectacle from THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE director Tobe Hooper flopped on its release but has since been embraced by cult aficionados for its sheer lunatic audacity. When a crew of American and British astronauts discover three humanoid extraterrestrials slumbering inside a spaceship within the tail of Halley’s Comet, they unwittingly unleash apocalypse as the trio’s kinky vampiric leader (Mathilda May) sets out to destroy mankind by seducing humans and draining them of their essence.

Starring Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Patrick Stewart
