19: Lifeforce (w/ Jules Boyle)

Episode 19 sees Andy and Mitch joined by film/music/comic book journalist and soon-to-be author of a book on British horror films, Jules Boyle.

His chosen film? Lifeforce!

The first in a three picture deal with Golan-Globus' Cannon Group which saw Tobe Hooper also direct Invaders From Mars and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Lifeforce is a bizarre little film that is as long as it is baffling. Based on Colin Wilson's novel The Space Vampires, Lifeforce was co-written by Dan O Bannon (Alien, Return of the Living Dead).

The cast includes Steve Railsback, Peter Firth, Frank Finlay, Patrick Stewart and also features an unforgettable (and formative) performance by Mathilda May as Space Girl! 

The synopsis is as follows: 

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 seems to be the only man who can stop them.
