Lifeforce

A spaceship hidden by Halley's Comet unleashes sexy space vampires and boredom upon London, mostly boredom. Tobe Hooper directed Lifeforce for Cannon Films, the notorious studio behind countless Chuck Norris flicks and the American Ninja franchise. I was actually surprised by the special effects and production value featured in Lifeforce, but even with all the spiffy spaceship sets and exploding vampire zombies, there isn't too much to get excited about in this movie. The mostly British cast come across as too prim and austere, even as an apocalyptic vampire plague threatens to end all life on Earth. Not even a sexy vampire chick, who spends most of the movie completely naked, and a slightly unhinged performance from Steve Railsback can save the film. But I suppose if you're in the mood for a movie that features Patrick Stewart being forcibly drugged and restrained, then Lifeforce just might be the perfect film for you.
