This movie came out when I was 12 and I think I saw it that same year when it released to home video. I can say with all honesty that the big draw for me back then was the copious amounts of Ms. May exposed on screen.
It has since grown into a favorite of mine for a few reasons. This came out during what I like to call he golden age of horror. There is scarcely a horror movie made during the 80s that I do not like.
The spaceship Churchill, in a joint NASA and ESA mission to go study Hailey's comet discover a ship hidden by the comet. Inside the ship they discover a bunch of desiccated aliens and three perfect humans, one woman and two men. They return to the ship with the 3 humans and one dead alien. When the Churchill returns to Earth it is found to have burned inside and lost all hands. The three humans that were found on the ship in the comet are still safe inside the containers where they were found. They are brought to Earth where the female wakes up and sucks the life out of a guard. Follow the British intelligence agencies as they try to unravel the mystery behind this space girl.
The special effects are dated and the acting is as well, though Sir Patrick Stewart is in it. But I still love this movie for what it is. That is a campy, fun sci/fy horror.
