Scream Factory has announced the upcoming release of Tobe Hooper’s 1985 sci-fi horror film, LIFEFORCE, which is available for pre-order now for $36.98 USD and will release on May 24, 2022.

The 4K Ultra HD will feature a brand new 4K restoration of the film from the original camera negative, director’s cut, exclusive poster, as well as audio commentaries and cast interviews.

FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:

From the director of Poltergeist and the co-writer of Alien comes a thrilling sci-fi adventure of explosive action and pulse-pounding suspense.

A mission to investigate Halley's Comet discovers an even stranger phenomenon: an alien spacecraft! Following a deadly confrontation, the aliens arrive on Earth, where their seductive leader begins a terrifying campaign to drain the lifeforce of everyone she encounters. Her victims, in turn, continue the cycle, and soon the entire planet is in mortal danger. And when the mission's sole survivor (Steve Railsback, The Stunt Man) sets out to stop her, he comes face to face with the most beautiful – and most horrifying – being he's ever known. Will he be able to destroy the vampiress ... or will he become yet another victim of her fatal charm?

Please note about the international cut: Cannon cut the original camera negative to match the theatrical version of the film. Any trims from the original camera negative were not saved. As a result, the international cut only exists as an interpositive film element. We felt cutting those scenes into the original camera negative for a UHD release would be jarring because of the increase in resolution of 2160p.
