	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"‘Lifeforce’ is a near-impossible film to review, at once indescribably awful and hugely, brilliantly entertaining (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Both the leading men (...) snap out their lines without a trace of real enthusiasm (...) [Hooper] doesn't even make it scary."	NEG
United States	Lauren Taylor Bloody Disgusting	"'Lifeforce', for me, is great because it is simply visually stunning (...) All of it was built out and no green screen was used. This is what is missing from many modern films"	POS
United States	Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune	"[Tobe Hooper] knows how to scare and how to amuse (...) Maybe somebody spiked my popcorn, but I can`t deny that I liked (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	TV Guide	"The film is a mess from start to finish with several main characters who appear and disappear throughout. No character development, no thematic development, no narrative development. No life. No force. No dice."	NEG
