This is one of my all-time favourite movies, and unlike some movies from the 1980s, this is every bit as great now as it was the first time I saw it. Maybe even more so, since this is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shoutfactory.com\/\">Shout! Factory\u00ef\u00bb\u00bf<\/a> director&#8217;s cut on Blu-ray.<\/p>\n<p>I just can&#8217;t express how awesome I think this movie is. Everyone is so perfectly cast. Steve Railback as the shell-shocked astronaut fighting his involuntary obsession with the Space Girl is <em>perfect<\/em>. Mathilda May as the Space Girl communicates through body language and expressions a range I am not sure any living actor could match. Peter Firth as the SAS colonel is as cool as James Bond and just a little bit pervy. Frank Finlay as the death-obsessed biologist is amusingly quirky and detached as only an English actor can be.<\/p>\n<p>How could this movie have failed at the box office? Dan O&#8217;Bannon and Don Jakob on the script, John Dykstra on special effects, Henry Mancini on the soundtrack, Tobe Hooper at the helm&#8230; this is undoubtedly one of the best science fiction movies of the 1980s, and absolutely the best movie Golan-Globus ever produced. I have not yet watched the extensive special features, but I am looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>THANK YOU, Shout Factory, for bringing this long-awaited director&#8217;s cut to Blu-ray!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight&#8217;s film fun was Lifeforce, starring Steve Railsback, Mathilda May, Peter Firth, and a host of others.
