Lifeforce Limited Edition

Released: 17th February 2025. IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE, THE TERROR BEGINS When a space shuttle crew finds a mysterious spacecraft containing three human-looking creatures in a state of suspended animation, they bring them back to Earth for further investigation. It’s only then that scientists discover that they are in fact a race of space vampires that feed off people’s life-force, rather than their blood. So when they escape and run amok in London, the consequences are apocalyptic – and the shuttle crew’s only survivor (Steve Railsback) seems to be the only man who can stop them. 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), this lively sci-fi horror romp has a stellar cast including Peter Firth, Frank Finlay and Patrick Stewart – although it’s Mathilda May’s appearance as the seductive alien leader that attracts the most attention to this day. 4K ULTRA HD LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS Brand new 4K restoration by Arrow Films of the 116-minute International Cut, plus a 4K restoration of the 101-minute Theatrical Cut from the original negative Original lossless stereo audio plus optional 5.1 DTS-HD MA Surround and Dolby Atmos remixes for both cuts Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing for both cuts Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Dan Mumford Collector’s booklet featuring writing on the film by Frank Collins DISC ONE – INTERNATIONAL CUT 4K (2160p) Ultra HD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) Audio commentary by director Tobe Hooper, moderated by filmmaker Tim Sullivan Audio commentary by visual effects artist Douglas Smith, moderated by filmmaker and scholar Howard S.
