Lifeforce (1985)

Tobe Hooper puts away the chainsaw and gets sexy with some naked space-vampires. The first half is reminiscent of that other Dan O'Bannon scripted sci-fi film, but, sadly, the second half loses focus and turns into a glorious mess.
The SFX are fantastic and damn creepy. The acting is mediocre.
If there's ever a remake I expect there'll be more emphasis on clothes and less on space-girl tits. Mathilda May fuelled many a teenage wet dream upon first release.
