Cannon Fodder: The Making of Lifeforce

About This Movie

Cannon Fodder: The Making of Lifeforce is quite the deep dive into Tobe Hooper's 1985 sci-fi misstep. It really captures the chaotic energy behind the scenes — lots of interviews with key players like Hooper, who’s candid about the film’s reception, and producer Michael J. Kagan offering insights into the production struggles. The pacing is a bit uneven, much like the film itself, but that kind of enhances its charm. The doc touches on the extensive practical effects — those space vampires really pushed boundaries back then. Plus, the interviews with actors like Aubrey Morris provide this nostalgic, almost wistful vibe. It's a reminder of how ambitious the project was, despite not landing with audiences.
