neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the utterly deranged 1985 sci-fi vampire epic Lifeforce and I respect any film whose central plot is basically “space nudity causes the apocalypse.” Best line in cinema history remains: “Now she has clothes!”
positive · AI labelView post →It's amazing how well this poster captures the spirit of the movie. #NowWatching Lifeforce (1985) #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →Lifeforce (1985) Directed by Tobe Hooper starring Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, and Mathilda May. The film received mixed reviews and was a box office failure, but has since become a cult classic.
neutral · AI labelView post →Less than 1.5 hours until LIFEFORCE, the 1985 space vampire movie that I have been aware of for quite some time without ever actually seeing it. That changes tonight, when we will experience it collectively for #horrorwatch. Be there (Tubi at 9 ET) or be square!
neutral · AI labelView post →4. Lifeforce (dir. Tobe Hooper, 1985). Is this a good movie? Absolutely not. Is this a fun, batshit, one of its kind movie? 1000% yes. It's like an episode of Doctor Who fed enough viagra to kill a herd of elephants and locked in a room with nothing to read but Freud and Stoker.

neutral · AI labelView post →My man Patrick Stewart said LIFEFORCE was “a deliriously entertaining bad movie” and boasted that his first on-screen kiss was with Steve Railsback Who didn’t love him? RIP

neutral · AI labelView post →Revisited LIFEFORCE tonight and what an opulent, stunning, whole lot of movie. It’s Bram Stoker’s 2001 by way of a two-page Fangoria magazine gore spread. I don’t know if it’s Tobe Hooper’s best, but it might just be my favorite of his work. So many ideas, so much delivery. Sometimes more IS more.
positive · AI labelView post →Saw #FrightClub was watching LIFEFORCE tonight and while 10pm is too late for my old ass to start a movie, I thank them for the idea because it's probably what we're going to watch now But if you'll be up, join them and follow @frightya.bsky.social 🤘📽️🩸

positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #137 "Lifeforce" (Tobe Hooper/1985) Hooper's epic and completely bonkers Cannon film about space vampires. This film is worth watching just for how crazy things get and how over the top it goes. Check it out!
positive · AI labelView post →I’ve wanted to watch Tobe Hooper’s horny, campy space vampire movie Lifeforce forever. I forgot Patrick Stewart is in it and he has a weird male to male kiss scene too lol
positive · AI labelView post →I feel like not enough people know that the creepy animatronic head at the core of Duran Duran's iconic Wild Boys video, shot at Pinewood Studios, is *literally* the rubber cast of Patrick Stewart's head used in Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce, which was shot at Pinewood Studios *right* before Wild Boys.
neutral · AI labelView post →Cleaving my life into the "hearing about Lifeforce" phase and "having watched Lifeforce" phase, forever changed. Weirdly solidifies into a true apocalyptic nightmare of horny paranoia + desperate scifi action. Railsbeck, May, Firth, Stewart (RIP) all mvps, this was awesome. Hooper, you're a madman!
positive · AI labelView post →"Lifeforce" had alien vampires, and I'm pretty sure this is the only scene in the movie where she wore clothes.
neutral · AI labelView post →LIFEFORCE is legitimately a great movie, zero irony
positive · AI labelView post →just rewatched LIFEFORCE (1985) and by god this film has EVERYTHING -a score ripped off by "Baldur's Gate" -a 3rd act ripped off by "Mass Effect 3" -a lead villain who's naked for 90% of her screentime -Patrick Stewart making out w/a guy -based on the novel "The Space Vampires" -fucking grim ending
positive · AI labelView post →Picking a random film from my collection to show off for no real reason! Day #30 "Lifeforce" (Tobe Hooper/1985) Hooper's completely bonkers film about space vampires. This was Cannon Films' most expensive production. You got to check this one out!
positive · AI labelView post →The NERVA rocket in Lifeforce is wildly overpowered. How am I supposed to take this space vampire movie seriously?
negative · AI labelView post →Our #HalloweenRecs for tonight is Lifeforce. A wild film about space vampires that steal your lifeforce by... let's say unconventional methods. I had another film planned tonight but in honor of the late great Sir Patrick Stewart, I wanted to share the film where he had his first on camera kiss

Big trouble & frenzied destruction in London: sci-fi horror-tastic. Tickets selling fast! www.homemcr.org/whats-on/qua...
neutral · AI labelView post →Mathilda May in Lifeforce. Slightly goofy movie, but if we're talking "best anyone has ever looked" she's def on the list. (This is a SFW pic, she has to be one of the most physically flawless humans ever born)

neutral · AI labelView post →#nowwatching Lifeforce (1985) Okay, so I love this movie. There's psychic space vampires, a zombie apocalypse, and London burns to the ground. What's not to love? Oh, and Patrick Stewart's here. Rock on. #horrorsky #filmsky #moviesky
positive · AI labelView post →#LastFourWatched for this blessed #LetterboxdFriday - This week was a banger. The Holiday was a super ridiculous romcom, Jude Law is far too attractive in this movie; it's distracting. One Battle After Another was an absolute banger, so suspenseful the entire second half. Lifeforce... Words cannot

neutral · AI labelView post →I just saw this vampire movie Lifeforce (1985) for the first time. Patrick Stewart is listed in the credits but the first half of the movie was so campy and ridiculous, and I didn't see P.S. anywhere, so I started to doubt myself, and I thought that maybe it was a different actor of the same name

neutral · AI labelView post →1985, I was in the Manchester University Bookstore with a friend, and we were making fun of the movie "Lifeforce". A head wearing a beret slowly extended around the corner. Looked at us like microbes, raised an eyebrow. Patrick Stewart. RIP, Sir Pat. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
neutral · AI labelView post →Quite happy to be surprised by Lifeforce as the #horrorwatch pick! I have cherished this movie since my teenage brain was shocked by it; haven’t seen it in decades. Mute the tag as needed.
positive · AI labelView post →Been a week, so a late night movie with Lifeforce! A film with two big things everyone remembers. Patrick Stewart having a gay kiss and Dwayne Barry from the X-Files having more trouble with aliens.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching: Lifeforce (1985), which is apparently either a terrible movie or a space vampire cult classic depending on who you ask
neutral · AI labelView post →RLM is doing a best of the worst which includes Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce (1985), a film in which all of patrick stewart's blood pours out of his head and becomes a hot goth babe
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched Lifeforce, and it is, indeed, a batshit crazy weird movie. Picture a reimagined Plan 9 From Outer Space filled with sequences borrowed from a bunch of successful genre movies made in the late 70's and early 80's.
neutral · AI labelView post →You can tell a lot about a movie from how it portrays two men kissing #Lifeforce #FrightClub #filmsky #scifi 
neutral · AI labelView post →the weekend horror marathon continues with LIFEFORCE, the most bizarro movie Tobe Hooper made for Cannon Films if you ask me. This got added to the pile as the Patrick Stewart tribute, though GREEN ROOM would of course be a phenomenal choice
positive · AI labelView post →Dr. Armstrong Lifeforce (1985) (This whole film is underrated)
positive · AI labelView post →One of the more awesome developments in my life as of late is my sister getting into genre film and us strengthening our bond over movies like Lifeforce and The Guyver
neutral · AI labelView post →This movie is Lifeforce (1985) for people who don't know what sex is
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight’s movie was 1985’s LIFEFORCE from @arrowvideo.bsky.social. It was… really great actually? Totally bananas, a bizarro R-rated Doctor Who/Quatermass mash-up. For a film made in 1985 it sure looks like it was made in 1975 (just with better SFX). Great 4K restoration.

neutral · AI labelView post →I'm re-watching Lifeforce on the Criterion Channel, which describes the movie as "a mind-scrambling alien-zombie-vampire sextravaganza unlike any other horror film of the 1980s." #FrightClub
neutral · AI labelView post →Lifeforce is batshit and totally rules btw, it's such a treat when I find a movie I should've been rewatching since high school. I think the title always made me assume it was quiet and cerebral. Nope!
