Summary:	The story concerns a joint British-American space probe of Halley's Comet. Inside the comet, the astronauts, headed by Colonel Carlsen (Steve Railsback), find a spaceship that contains the dead bodies of several aliens, along with the naked bodies of three human-like creatures in suspended animation. They bring the aliens aboard the ship for examination, but the specimens are sloppily guarded and soon the trio spread contagion among the population of the ship. Returning to Earth, the beautiful and seductive space vampire leader (Mathilda May) escapes into London and begins to drain the lifeforce of the bodies of the unwary Britons. Her victims, in turn, continue the cycle, and soon the entire planet is in mortal danger. And when Carlsen, the space mission's sole survivor, sets out to destroy her, he comes face to face with the most charming - and horrifying - being he's ever known. Will he be able to destroy the lovely vampiress... or will he become yet another victim of her fatal charm?
