lifeforce (1985)

"They look like bats, giant bats."
A crew are sent to survey Halley's comet. They find a spacecraft inhabited by dead bat like creatures, and three cocoons containing humanoids, which they pick up to study further. Then all contact is lost and by the time the craft is recovered only one of the crew is still alive. He and the humanoids are brought back to earth. Then the female humanoid wakes and escapes, wreaking havoc where ever it goes, draining the lifeforce from all she contacts. With London and possibly the earth under threat Col. Colin Caine (Peter Firth) is given the task to track her down.
Given a big budget Hooper produces an interesting mix of vampire and space.
