Cult classic Lifeforce Collector’s Edition debuts next week

lifeforce-movie-still-images-060502-13Scream Factory will unleash the special effects extravaganza Lifeforce from director Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) on June 18, 2013. This much-loved cult film classic debuts for the first time on Blu-ray™ and will be presented as a Collector’s Edition Blu-ray™ + DVD combo pack that boasts the rare original theatrical version of the film (available on the Blu-ray disc only) and its longer international cut, plus newly rendered retro-style artwork and a reversible wrap with original theatrical key art. Lifeforce Collector’s Edition Blu-ray + DVD combo pack features high-definition anamorphic widescreen presentations and new exciting bonus content.

From the director of Poltergeist and the co-writer of Alien comes a thrilling sci-fi adventure of explosive action and pulse-pounding suspense! With mind-blowing special effects by Academy Award winner John Dykstra (1977 Best Visual Effects, Star Wars), Lifeforce is a gripping mélange of genres that’s “so bizarre, it’s fascinating” (Leonard Maltin).

A mission to investigate Halley’s Comet discovers an even stranger phenomenon: an alien spacecraft. Following a deadly confrontation, the aliens arrive on Earth, where their seductive leader begins a terrifying campaign to drain the lifeforce of everyone she encounters. Her victims, in turn, continue the cycle, and soon the entire planet is in mortal danger. And when the mission’s sole survivor (Steve Railsback – The Stunt Man) sets out to destroy her, he comes face to face with the most charming – and horrifying – being he’s ever known. Will he be able to destroy the lovely vampiress…or will he become yet another victim of her fatal charm?
