Question
I would greatly appreciate help with this. I remember some of this movie from the eighties. it had a plot that could be mixed from screamers and lifeforce. it is about machine/woman in a tomb like structure that this group finds on the ?moon? or similar planet.Then they bring her or it , sorry not to clear, in for testing then machines start killing everybody. After that I do not remember much. Also until very recently I confused the male lead with one Dudley Moore. I remember them looking similar. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Answer
Hi, Chip...

Well, you had me all over the place on this one... you descibe, as you said, the high plot points from both "Screamers" and "Lifeforce", but combining them into one film??? Jeez...

But I think you may be looking for "Moontrap." It was made in 1989, and starred Walter Koenig, who you may remember as Chekov from Star Trek.... now, how he reminds you of Dudley Moore, I don't know...

Hope this helps,

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?
