COB's Creepers #10 - Lifeforce (Wednesday 19th October, 8:05pm)

[COB]

We are already into the third week of COB's Creepers 2022, and this time we're taking a detour into sci-fi horror with 1985's Lifeforce:

Based on Colin Wilson's 1976 novel The Space Vampires, the film portrays the events that unfold after a trio of humanoids in a state of suspended animation are brought to Earth after being discovered in the hold of an alien space ship by the crew of a European space shuttle.

Lifeforce can be RENTED via Amazon, or you can use COB's Community Library which I would personally recommend (PM for details if required). See you soon!

 

[COB]

This is happening tomorrow night! Who'll be around? Popping in tags for @ButterTart @Ellie @Lucille @VoR @Raining On Me @Christian @jivafox and noted movie addict @ZenGiraffe

 

[ButterTart]

I will, of course, be attending. It’s been so long since I saw Lifeforce I can’t remember any of what happens.

 

[COB]

TITS and BLOOD, mainly

 

[COB]

Before we get swept away into the giraffe house for ASFM mania, don't forget that this will be happening tomorrow night as a lovely palate cleanser between viewing parties!

 

[COB]

Just under twelve hours, who's around

 

[Ellie]

I should be around. I don’t think I could handle another double bill in the future though.

 

[COB]

Next week is a double, but the second film is definitely missable in that it's less of a film and more a psychedelic EXPERIENCE

 

[COB]

See you later on

 

[COB]

TWO HOUR WARNING!

 

[Lucille]

I’ll be here and I’ll try my best not to PASS OUT again.

 

[Lucille]

Not that DR PHIBES wasn’t UTTERLY GRIPPING

 

[Ellie]

Is this ACTUALLY a Horror movie?

 

[COB]

Sci-fi horror, but yes

 

[COB]

Just over an hour! Now that I have broadband at my flat I can use Plex again and not have to stick my laptop into the TV like a sucker

 

[COB]

Just under half an hour!

 

[Lucille]

I wanted space raiders for this intergalactic adventure but my shop didn’t have any I did go for the next best thing though, a GRAB BAG size of pickled onion MONSTER MUNCH.

 

[Ellie]

Now give me at least TWO minutes after Eastenders please

 

[COB]

Okay, let's do 8:05.

 

[COB]

Fifteen minutes!

 

[COB]

Are you ready? I'm ready.

 

[COB]

Less than TWO MINUTES

 

[COB]

One minute in fact!

 

[COB]

PRESS PLAY NOW

 

[COB]

Cannon Films is such a seal of quality

 

[Ellie]

OK I'm IN

 

[COB]

Introducing Mathilda May and the twins

 

[VoR]

About 60 seconds behind but HERE

 

[COB]

Music by Henry Mancini! Talk about a touch of class.

 

[Ellie]

Surely Mancini IS a mark of quality though. This does actually sound like a proper film rather than the LAST ONE

 

[VoR]

PATRICK STEWART?

 

[Lucille]

Already obsessed with this woman’s LIFELESS performance! Give me NOTHING AT ALL!

 

[COB]

PATRICK STEWART?

Oh yes! Pre TNG so he was probably quite cheap

 

[Ellie]

Apparently Mick Jagger's brother is in this.

 

[Lucille]

Quite expensive looking graphics!

 

[VoR]

How nice that even in the far reaches of outer space they still respect GREENWICH MEAN TIME.

 

[COB]

All the space stuff really is quite gorgeous looking, particularly for the time.

 

[Lucille]

How annoying we get something resembling a film when I’m distracted by the fall of the UK government

This is actually the future of the UK space programme if we just #TrustLiz

 

[Ellie]

Yeah, for 1985 this doesn't;t look bad at all. Obviously not on the level of Aliens but it's on par with a lot of famous stuff.
