Special Features
For Lifeforce’s original US release, several scenes were removed in order to shorten its running time, although audiences outside America saw the uncut version. This DVD release restores these deleted scenes to the film and thus represents the complete, unedited film as it was originally intended to be seen. The only special feature on the disc is a theatrical trailer although there is an 8-page collector’s booklet that offers information about the making of the film, the special effects, and offers a brief profile of director Hooper. This film is ripe for re-appraisal for as a Jungian nightmare within its genre parameters there is no other movie the equal of Lifeforce.
