Movies

Lifeforce (1985) Expedition to Halley's Comet finds huge spacecraft full of dead monsters and takes home the three perfectly preserved humans also aboard, not thinking they might be soul-sucking alien parasites. High concept psycho-erotic horror from the Colin Wilson novel on which it is based is genuinely disturbing, but the effect is diluted by over-reliance on shouting, flashing lights, explosions and snarling zombies - all of which merely tire me. Much of it is done extremely well, but all the noise and schlock were unfortunate and irritating. 5/10
