Lifeforce (1985)

  • Tobe Hooper directs this roller coaster ride of sci-fi and horror. Dan O'Bannon co wrote the screen play. He is famous for writing Alien and directing Return of the Living Dead
  • Mathilda May plays Space Girl. She is also nude in 90% of her scenes. I would like to shake Tobe Hooper's hand for making The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and for making that directorial decision.
  • Some really great effects. I can't overstate enough how much I love old practical effects.
  • I'm surprised this movie doesn't have more of a cult following (maybe it does?). It has gore, nudity, space, aliens, vampires, British people. I mean, what more do you want?
  • Another great recommendation from Pablo.
