This is a great film. This film turned age 39 this past February. Filming began in that month and was released in theatres in the summer 1985. Matilda May is chillingly excellent as the leader of a group of space vampires who arrive on Earth to destroy humanity. But a group of scientists go to stop and wipe out these monsters. I really love the 15 minute longer director's cut as it fleshes out the story and gives it more interest. 3 stars to both versions of this film.

Only made it to the twenty minute mark. I could accept the dated special effects ( okay for 1981 ) but the wooden acting and the focus on a nude ( albeit attractive ) woman was gratuitous. I'm amazed that the producers ( Golan and Globus ) got Henry Mancini to score this ( with the London Symphony Orchestra no less ) turkey about space vampires. Perhaps this film has nostalgia value for those who saw it when it came out; or maybe diehard horror buffs would appreciate it. Utter waste as far as I'm concerned.

Good movie, great effects, creative plot, and surprisingly big budget film. Big name actors list, don't how that poor lady star felt walking around like that the whole time. Did not feel the plot needed her like that the whole time making it not a family film sadly. Great value for dvd/ blue ray combo.

ONCE AGAIN SCREAM FACTORY DELIVERS ANOTHER QUALITY BLU-RAY. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS AN IMPROVEMENT OVER PREVIOUS HOME VIDEO RELEASES. THE SPECIAL FEATURES ARE ALSO WORTH NOTING. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW THIS MOVIE WAS MADE, THE DOCUMENTARY ON THE FILM IS PRETTY INFORMATIVE. DEFINITELY WORTH A PURCHASE.

Hey lets face it who can't resist looking at Mathilda May naked? Its got space vampires an scifi mixed together with creepy victims wanting to suck the life force outta you. If you can get past some of the characters lack of logic just enjoy the movie for what it is a Popcorn type of horror story. I bought this DVD to add to my collection cause it has subtitles an commentary with a few so-called special features [though I would have preferred more] the previous version DVD lacked. Its a good buy to obtain though not perfect it is worth watching.
