Lifeforce (1985)
1/10
GASP at the sigh of old British men in rooms! THRILL as they talk about things!

I'll make this brief. Director of Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE, writer of ALIEN and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, combing forces and make a movie about SPACE VAMPIRES, this must be a classic right? Wrong.

The best thing about this about this film is watching Mathilda May walking around naked for a few scenes at the beginning. By this comment I'm not trying to come off as exploitive or macho, just stating a fact, it really is the best thing about this movie. For some reason Tobe Hooper thought it would be cooler to not watch events happen but instead watch a bunch of prim British men sit in a room and talk about the events that are happening, for …. two … hours. Seriously, this movie will bore you to tears. When you finally trudge through a film containing people talking about stuff and a few poorly made scene where you actually get the treat of seeing things happen (most of which feel like they are clips from bad British television shows), you are rewarded with an extremely underwhelming finale, that at least has some brief footage of space zombies savaging London. Tobe Hooper spells space vampires, B-O-R-I-N-G. Just stay away.
