About
You’ll likely enjoy Lifeforce if you want 1980s sci-fi horror with practical effects and escalating dread; Not for you if confusing stories and nonstop nudity aren’t your thing, or if you prefer cleaner genre mashups like Species or The Thing.
Pros: practical effects; campy fun; eerie London vibe | Cons: confusing plot; uneven acting; lots of nudity
