Scream Factory: 4K Remaster of Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce Coming Soon to Blu-ray

U.S. label Scream Factory announced today that it will release a SteelBook Blu-ray Edition of director Tobe Hooper's cult film Lifeforce, which will feature brand new 4K remasters of the two versions of the film. The SteelBook will be available for purchase on August 14.

Synopsis: With special effects by Academy Award-winner John Dykstra (1977 Best Visual Effects, Star Wars) and a script by Dan O'Bannon and Don Jakoby, Lifeforce follows a mission to investigate Halley's Comet, where an even stranger phenomenon is discovered: 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. When the mission's sole survivor (Railsback) sets out to destroy her, he comes face to face with the most charming - and horrifying – being he's ever known. Will he be able to destroy the lovely vampiress... or will he become yet another victim of her fatal allure?

Special Features and Technical Specs:

• BRAND NEW 4K REMASTERS OF THE TWO VERSIONS OF THE FILM
• ALL legacy bonus features that have been used on previous releases of the film

*In addition to Lifeforce, on the same date Scream Factory will release SteelBook editions of Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness and Joe Dante's The Howling. The two releases will be sourced from the existing masters that were used for the Collector's Editions that the label produced, and will retain all legacy bonus features.
