Scream Factory is bringing several of their past titles from Blu-ray into 4K Ultra HD this year, and the latest one to be announced this week is Tobe Hooper‘s 1985 film Lifeforce.
The company teases, “Giant bats, “zombies,” Patrick Stewart, not just vampires– SPACE vampires, and the eternal Mathilda May come together for Lifeforce in 4K UHD on May 24.”
Scream Factory notes 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.”
Bonus Features for the release include…
DISC ONE (4K UHD — THEATRICAL CUT):
- NEW 2021 4K Scan Of The Original Camera Negative
DISC TWO (BLU-RAY — THEATRICAL CUT):

“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) 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?”
