Lifeforce (1985)
Tobe Hooper's wildly uneven sci-fi horror film is proof he really did direct Poltergeist because he uses the same blue light effects throughout this production.
Starring Steve Railsback who is the least charismatic lead imaginable, the film veers from naked space vampires to laughable rubbery zombies, it's total throw in the kitchen sink style campness and not very good at all.
I tried to sit through this a few years ago but fell asleep. I at least managed to stay awake until the ludicrous finale this time around. Perhaps back in the day it had an impact on viewers as it's certainly a lively film, but seen new in 2019 it just comes over as silly.
I'm sure those that are trapped in a world of Lost Boys and Goonies love will also dig this film.
