Great movie if your a sci-fi fan!
I first saw this movie with my dad when I was about 13 and remember thinking I can't believe he's letting me watch a naked girl's breasts?! Then she sucked the "Lifeforce" out of him and it quickly became one of my favorite movies. Funny how the extra features show that she didn't even speak English at the time of filming and was previously a ballerina with no goals to ever get in the acting business. Overall it's a great movie with a basic story line involving a extraterrestrial type of space vapires that suck the life out of you. It also comes with a rotating DVD case paper giving you the option to have the original or animated cover. I added a pic if your curious.

Good scifi/horror
This is going to be a cult classic! It’s better than many scifi/horror movies.

Written with a heavy heart
Lifeforce is one of the true underrated masterpieces not just of horror/sci-fi, but of the recently passed Tobe Hooper's catalog. (In fact, it happens to be my favorite of his, edging out even Texas Chainsaw Massacre). Once again, I find myself double-dipping in order to get my hands on a Scream Factory release, and as is usual, they impress, especially in the remaster. While not chock-full of new extras, it's a great visual quality here, along with both versions of the film: theatrical and the Director's Cut and a combination of several new extras and those ported from MGMs DVD version. The film marks one of the earliest appearances of Patrick Stewart, although his role is somewhat limited, as well as the stunning Mathilda May, as the lead space vampire (space vampire is accurate, although it sounds hokier than it is,) walking around largely in the buff for the better part of the movie. Watching London become overrun by a space vampire plague is one of the early "large scale" battles I can recall; and with the infected regaining their vitality with each kill, leading to distrust and the unknown of who can be trusted, Lifeforce feels like a (wonderful,) cross between The Thing and a large scale zombie film. One of the many great original 80s horror films that still seems fresh 35 years later, if not better than much of the PG13 drek that passes as horror nowadays.
