(Come on: Hooper's 'Life Force' - screenplay by Dan O'Bannon, featuring Frank Finlay and the magnificent Mathilda May - is a work of genius. After Tobe Hooper directed the 1985 film 'Lifeforce,' based on Wilson's 1976 novel 'The Space Vampires,' Wilson told Fowles there was now a worse one. Science writer Martin Gardner described Wilson's (1931-2013) non-fiction book 'The Geller Phenomenon' (1975) as 'the most gullible book ever written about the Israeli charlatan,' concluding that Wilson, an avowed existential philosopher, had decayed by then into an 'occult eccentric' writing books for the 'lunatic fringe.' Wilson recalled that author John Fowles branded the film adaptation of Fowles' own novel 'The Magus' the worst film adaptation of any novel, ever.
