I don't understand: there are no words on emboss/deboss, limited quantity or video quality of this release. And yet you are willing to pay £17.99 for a thirty-year-old B-Movie. Why?

Because some of us buy it for the film itself and the wealth of extras. Others buy it just because its a steelbook

Have just watched this and despite the great cast list it has aged very, VERY badly imo and the vfx are just laughable. Would have looked better in black and white. I don't think anyone's mentioned it was Golan-Globus Production (Cannon Group) and that just about sums it up.

Looks like a nice steel mind but overpriced even at the lower price so still a pass for me.

Not seen it since i saw it at my local fleapit on its release, then on video a few times way back then. I think i had "Rose coloured" memories of it, and was looking forward to the Blu Steelbook release, without thinking sensibly, how the sfx and greenscreen..(yes kids, it was called, and utilized, greenscreen, back in those days) had aged..(probably, badly).
But i bet Mathilda May`s tits still look AWESOME!!!! :boobies:

***LIFEFORCE UPDATE***
Unfortunately we have had to delay the release of LIFEFORCE by two weeks and it will now be released October 14th. We are really sorry for the delay but want to ensure that our release is the best that it can be.
Mathilda thanks you in advance for your patience and understanding...

As long as Amazon send my copy at £7.25, I don't mind the delay

Was just thinking the same thing

 

[paulboland]

I Cancelled my order and have ordered the armory case as I want to have both artwork and its cheaper
I like Arrow Video blu ray case packaging with Reversible sleeve
Steelbook looks nice but I'm starting to cancel some steelbook orders as was getting bit of an addiction ordering every steelbook
I will be bit more choosy from now and I'm only ordering a steelbook if its very special and has all same extras as standard release

Its addiction when your ordering a release just because its a steelbook especially if you already have it on blu ray already
New steelbook been released and you hit the order button

From now on I will be only ordering a steelbook if its something I don't already have
Sept/Oct €350 on steelbooks had to stop

 

[ihategiantspiders]

Is this worth a blind buy? I love Tobe Hooper and Dan O Bannon but the trailer looks really terrible. I really want to get this as I know all too well what happens if you miss out on an Arrow release, (steel or amaray) but it really does look a tad weak. Any fans wanna sway my decision!

Was that for the steelbook?

I have pre-order it from day 1 but my order is still at £19.

If that price was from the steelbook at some point I must contact their costumer service as their lower price guarantee is not working.
