Invaders from mars was one of the original "It was all just a dream... No Wait!" movies. From before it was overdone and awful


The remake (Hooper's) avoids being lumped into the sucky category on this one because it was, well, a remake of one of the movies that started the whole thing..

I thought both of them were real good to watch. Tobe Hooper did a good job with both of them IMO.

Invaders from Mars is def one of those 80s movies you d love to see. Forget that it was a remake of another mindless movie. Leave the brains out, grab your popcorn, and enjoy it.

Lifeforce is slightly different. Some will argue that it was slow-paced, some d say the premise is ridiculous, but I liked it the first time I watched it on VHS. I watched it again and loved it more. Sure, it has its share of plotholes, but hey, its an entertainer. I enjoyed that one too.
