Summary

A joint British-American space mission to investigate Halley's Comet discovers a derelict alien craft harboring three humanoid bodies in suspended animation. When the dormant beings are brought back to Earth, they awaken as energy-draining vampires whose touch reduces victims to desiccated husks, triggering a catastrophic outbreak across London as a surviving astronaut and military investigators race to stop them.

Released in 1985, Lifeforce is an action, horror and mystery film.

Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 542 of whom clear the calibration test. 3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
