The premise
A race of space vampires arrives in London and infects the populace, commencing an apocalyptic descent into chaos.
Horror Vault's take
When a deep-space mission returns with more than its crew bargained for, London becomes ground zero for a catastrophic outbreak unlike anything humanity has faced. At the center of the chaos is an eerily alluring extraterrestrial presence that drains the very essence from its victims. Director Tobe Hooper delivers a wildly ambitious genre mashup — part cosmic vampire epic, part invasion thriller — that escalates relentlessly toward full-scale urban apocalypse. Based on Colin Wilson's novel 'The Space Vampires,' it remains one of the most audaciously unhinged sci-fi horror spectacles of the 1980s.
