My memory is hazy on this one as I watched it as a kid in early 80s. The scene I remember is a semi-naked woman in a transparent box or cube that has needles inside it. It closes in around her and draws out blood. I also remember it having space ship or space station in it.

Does anybody know what it was?

    I've been searching for this one too but don't think it was any of the above. I remember it draining her too with needles. I remember something space like and desert too. I certainly have no memory of any of the above and don't believe it is. I think it darker in tone.

The Humanoid (1979)

I think it's this! Hope it helps!

    Star Wars really does have a lot to answer for, even aside from the prequels.

    Thoughts: 1. For the love of Pete, can you frame a fricking shot? 2. If one Darth Vader is awesome, imagine how awesome twenty of them will be? 3. Richard Kiel's wife loves shoes.

I think you may be talking about a Cenobite Transformation Chamber in Hellraiser. Alternatively it might have been Event Horizon, which is a kind of Hellraiser in Space anyway.

what about SpaceHunter: Adventures Beyond The Forbidden Zone? It was a 3d movie from the late seventies. I only saw it the once- so this is a long shot- but do remember making lots of spike/needle related torture type stuff out of lego in response!

The only thing I can think of is LifeForce but the UK poster was different than the one on IMDB so I'm not sure and I can't find a reference to the needles you mention.

    Can't remember any needle boxes in LifeForce.

  • I saw it once, twenty five years ago, but I'm thinking that there was some sort of examination scene? I may be conflating it with another movie though and I'm certainly not watching it again no matter how nekkid Mathilda May gets

  • The movie Lifeforce (1985) would be my pick too, because it does involve a naked woman being locked in a transparent coffin.
