Review of Lifeforce (1985) by Private U — 21 May 2008
Fans of English science fiction will know what I'm talking about when I say that this film is, basically, like dropping extremely good acid and watching all three QUATERMASS films simulaneously. People who have no idea what QUATERMASS is should just be aware that this is the most massively twisted horror-science fiction epic ever made.
Naked vampire chicks from space. Zombies overrunning London. Hilariously overwrought performances. Brain-pummelling special effects. Sheer berserkitude on a scale that approaches High Art. I know of no way to describe this picture that could possibly prepare you for it.
.. just see the damn thing.
