Strange film indeed.Patrick Stewart ( Star Treks Jon Luc Picard) as Dr. Armstrong,in a minor role.Music by Henry Mancini that sounds like NFL films music.Directed by Austin Texas native Tobe Hooper.State of the art special effect.Still falls a little short because of trying to also be a little too erotic while the mix of Vampires and Zombies is too gory for that.Take 1 1/2 stars off for that.For a 1985 film release at 116 minutes it can be considered better than most but one thinks it could have been even more.I do however recommend you view and I am thinking of buying it.Trailer URL below pix as well a IMDB summary below.Enjoy.
Halley's Comet returns to the solar system and the English/American team aboard the shuttle "Churchill", making a close-up survey of the comet, discovers an alien spacecraft in the head of the comet. Inside the spacecraft are some large bat-like creatures and in three cocoons are three "dead" humans - two men and a woman. The "Churchill" takes the humans and a creature back to Earth. There the bosses of the project are amazed to find the shuttle burnt out and all but one of the crew - Carlsen - dead. The humans from the spacecraft suddenly awake and all those who come into contact with them are drained of their "lifeforce" and in time all the victims - including most of the population of London - are turned into zombies all preying on the horrified survivors for their "lifeforce". It's up to Carlsen and Major Caine of the SAS to stop them before the whole world turns into a big blood-hunt... Written by Lee Horton <Leeh@tcp.co.uk>
