Mancini passed a couple of months before I saw John Williams perform live, and in addition to conducting a couple of Mancini pieces with the Boston Pops (Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Pink Panther, as I recall), he spoke for a while about how fantastic Mancini was as both a person and a composer.
I genuinely love all Mancini's 'lounge music' type work from the 60s (i.e. The Pink Panther, Two for the Road, plus numerous non-soundtrack albums), but I keep forgetting that he also did an epic, bombastic score like Lifeforce. I envy that musical range.
The greatest Quatermass movie ever made without Bernard Quatermass. Best Line; Para to Col. Caine; You don't want to go in there, Colonel. Caine; I know I don't. (Puts Land Rover in gear and floors it, heading straight into the middle of the "anomaly".)
@Stefano Pavone Amazing! Would love to see that version! I own the last reel in 35mm. Love this film so much. Looking to get the first 4 reels! Cheers Stefano!
Isn't this what Alex Jones has been talking about for a while, the elites are interdimensional space vampires here sucking the life out of us, and our children.....hmmm
At running time 6:52 the fanfares of the golden age of film music set in. It was in the times of great composers who turned even the worst sci-fi/fantasy film of the 1980ies into something epic and all time classic.
Mancini must have collapsed after this or drank a bottle of Scotch! He was giving it all he got!! Magnificent! You should hear Web of Destiny: Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/3R1eF1zp-w0/v-deo.html - Like the Battle of Britain music! Hairs on the back of my neck!
The absolute worse movie ever made, which is a part of why it's so absolutely, perfectly brilliant. I love it! We need more of this stuff! Oh, and the score is absolutely gorgeous! I never thought a titty flick could sound like this...until 1985. **edit: it was 1985, right?
Beyond underrated. The score and the film.
I had this on cassette! Those were good days!
An epic theme for the most epic rack in a vampire flick this side of Hammer and Ingrid Pitt...
Clean orchestration, great theme and treatment of the theme. Hank Mancini was a master and even John Williams holds him in high regard.

Such strong & beautiful tone, and yes, this is a sound of Life force. Henry himself is a Universe, has ALL inside of him.
brilliant score for one of my favorite 80's films.
I remember the film and love it, but had no idea Mancini composed the soundtrack! Now I adore the whole thing 💕👍
What an amazing era the 80's were for film music!
Henry’s last masterpiece
Damn just now finding out about henry, he's amazing
Enjoyed this movie
I cycle to work listening to this, also those space vampires will never catch me! 🧛🏻
TRIUMPHANT SCORE ✊👏⭐👑🛡
Excelent!
The greatest Quatermass movie ever made without Bernard Quatermass.
Best Line;
Para to Col. Caine; You don't want to go in there, Colonel.
Caine; I know I don't. (Puts Land Rover in gear and floors it, heading straight into the middle of the "anomaly".)
I Agree! Big time!! Cheers!

GREAT...
15:26 Triumphant theme.
This movie gave me nightmares, something about our souls being sucked out of our bodies by space vampires. Fiction, but still hit a nerve.
I think the really scary thing about this movie. This movie also killed the "hot space girl" fantasy I had as a kid😏.

Better than the version on spotify
Very Herrmann-esque!!!
Tema en el que se inspira el estilo en las peliculas de Xmen de Fox.

Worst movie, best score.
This movie was so bad that it became good, through sheer force of will.
