Lifeforce - Arrow Video Limited Edition (4K Ultra HD)

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, THE TERROR BEGINS.

A space shuttle crew discovers a mysterious craft drifting in space—containing three human-looking beings preserved in suspended animation. They bring the bodies back to Earth… and unleash an apocalyptic nightmare.

Scientists soon learn the truth: these are space vampires who feed on human life-force, not blood. When they escape and begin running amok through London, civilization teeters on the edge. The shuttle mission’s only survivor (Steve Railsback) may be the only person who can stop them—if he can survive what’s already inside his mind.

Based on Colin Wilson’s novel The Space Vampires, with a screenplay co-written by Dan O’Bannon (Alien, Return of the Living Dead) and directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist), Lifeforce is a wild sci-fi horror ride with a stellar cast including Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Patrick Stewart, and the unforgettable Mathilda May.
