Sure, naked space vampire movies are a dime a dozen, but this big-budget career-wrecker from Tobe Hooper (THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974), POLTERGEIST) tears through all competition and stands tall as the ultimate example of the form. An astronaut crew investigating Halley's Comet runs across a pile of bat-monster corpses and three apparent humans encased in giant glass shards. When the Crystal Nudie Trio is brought back to our planet, their diabolical nature is revealed in a world-shattering bloodsucking shitstorm. These creatures devour life straight through your face, level entire cities in seconds, and spread like Country Crock. LIFEFORCE's script possesses a manic ferocity matched only by the eye-bulging, vein-throbbing lead performance from perpetual screen maniac Steve Railsback, whose unhealthy dating relationship with Interstellar Evil Incarnate sends our feeble species down the road to absolute annihilation. So do what you like, but skip this show and you'll be missing a telepathically possessed Patrick Stewart declare himself "the perfect woman" before kissing a dude right smack dab on the lips.
