Tobe Hooper-How the mighty have fallen.

I'll confess, I noticed Lifeforce on Netflix last week and watched ten minutes of it.

LOL. Amazing! Now that we all know it's on Netflix, i see that you will have started a trend!

... but it's also one of those things where the lack of budget made it rawer, and the rawness made it more exciting.

That could also describe another favorite of mine from Tobe...




Some great bits from this one : early on there's a homage scene to Halloween and Psycho, the great fake-out scare from a carny magician, and a real monster hiding behind a Frankenstein mask.

BTW Gorn Capt, you're totally spot-on that Mortuary really sucks.

I totally forgot about The Funhouse! That movie was creepy back when I was a kid watching it on HBO. A lot of people don't know of the movie. It's on Netflix for instant watch! FYI, your link doesn't work, but I knew what you were referring too.

I just watched Lifeforce on You Tube. There is no getting away from the fact that it is not a very good film but it is one of the best not very good films i have seen.

I would like to see this remade, i think they could turn it into a really great movie.

>I've seen the first half an hour of Lifeforce about 50 times. I don't think I've ever seen the ending

So.... you missed Jean Luke Picard crying like a little girl? THAT'S one of the creepiest scenes ever....
