    This is one of my favorite movies from when I was a kid in the early 60's (saw it on TV-I'm 68). I had vague memories of different scenes (the guy coming down the side of the tank all covered in black steaming goo). Decades later, when Internet became a place to find such things, I started on a quest to find this particular movie. I couldn't even remember the name. I finally did trip over it one day and I have enjoyed ever since. Truly a master piece of early sci-fi film making. Thanks to for bringing it so many new people to enjoy.

    I saw this at a drive-in movie with my parents when I was a young, impressionable child, probably 5or 6 years old. It scared the bejesus out of me for years and it made it hard for me to go to sleep. I was terribly afraid one of those rock things would crash through my roof and infect me! I suffered for years because of this movie and couldn’t remember the name of it. Here I am in my 70’s looking at old sci-fi movies and here it is-Quatermas2. After 65 years I finally found the source of my nightmares for years, and it’s not all that scary as I watch it as an adult. 😅

    If it's possible to LOVE a horror movie, this is it for me. I first saw this when I was a young teenager all geared up on astronomy and the exciting new mysteries of space travel. It enthralled me then and still does. Unlike so many films of its genre and period, this is so well-crafted. The mystery and drama begin in the first few seconds and are maintained throughout. Great casting, great acting and music so superb that it is unequalled. It still makes me shiver.....

    "5 Million Years to Earth" scared the hell out of me in the sixties when I first saw it. I still has its creepy moments even now. As an aside, there is a quote in that one that describes perfectly the reaction to abrupt climate change now...."The will to survive is an odd phenomenon. Roney, if we found out our own world was doomed, say by climatic changes, what would we do about it?" Roney: "Nothing, just go on squabbling like usual."

      ! saw it only in 1964, on a double bill with the remake with Jack Lemmon & June Allyson
      of "It happened in one night".
      Needless to say, I had to endure this unwanted
      extra before my favorite !
      That's 7 years after its original showing
      in my country.
      But I saw it again & again at every rerun in
      local theaters, until the print was so worn
      out that they no longer shew it !
      I saw later at the same theater
      "The Quatermass X-periment -
      The Creeping Unknown"
      Although a little disappointed by the lack of
      action in this 1st part, Brian Donlevy once
      more impressed me as a most outstanding
      Pr. Quatermass.

    One of the Great British SyFy classics, that had all the nail biting horror and edge of your seat suspense of a modern cult film. As kids, we used to huddle under bed cover and watch the scariest shows on TV, with all the house lights turned out--for the extra effect. One time, one of our parent sneaked up on us and gave a loud monster growl that sent us flying (covers and all). We all rolled when we found out who it was and what we looked like screaming in terror--as we ran for our lives.

      It's actually a remake. The original was a TV series. Same with the other 2 movies. Sadly, this one was lost apart from a couple of episodes, but the others are intact. The TV shows had a much darker feel than the movies. There was a remake of the original Quatermass series some time in the 2010s, a live event that played over 3 nights that starred Jason Flemyng as Quatermass and David Tennant as the doctor - NOT Dr. Who, but the one looking after the alien-infested astronaut. All of the original Quatermass TV series were live productions, like most UK TV back then.

      Yes, it was on when I was a kid. Don't remember too much about it other than Ringstone round, the gaslands style range rover, and the "spillings" in the sky. It did creep me out and I'd love to see it again! If you like Nigel Kneales style, I'd recommend you look up "The Stone Tape" it's another Kneale penned British TV show from around '72 I think. It's a good sci-fi horror. It's typical of its time, like the old Dr.Who. shows. Im sure he was a fan of Lovecraft. The only thing that i feel has captured his (Kneales) style in recent years are the Torchwood stories about the Aliens using kids as drugs and the one where people stopped dying. They were the best ones in the series in my view.

      In the TV series it's explicitly stated that the aliens eventually intend to alter Earth's atmosphere, ruling it by proxy until that time. And they are a group organism, there is no queen as such. Again the Tv series shows that only the aliens of Earth die (and not all of them because there are other plants under contruction), but for a group organism, it's pretty much the equivalent of losing a fingernail.

    The original BBC TV version of this story was called "Quatermass II" (not "Quatermass Experiment II"). This Hammer Film Productions version was titled "Quatermass 2" in the UK and "Enemy From Space" in the USA. It's a great film, superbly directed by Val Guest, based on an intelligent, thought-provoking script by Nigel Kneale, with additional screenplay by Guest. The moody cinematography of Gerald Gibbs is also commendable.
    This was at the height of the Cold War, with metaphorical references to being taken over by sinister forces who assimilate within the higher echelons of British society, manufacturing industry and Whitehall bureaucracy. This echoes earlier American Sci-Fi classics like "The Day The World Stood Still".

    If you can try to find the TV broadcast of "Quatermass and the Pit". Andre Morell stars as Quatermass in what was probably the most scarey Sci-Fi series for its time with what we're superb effects on a very limited budget. As a lad at the time I spent a lot of time peeking at the telly from behind the sofa!
    Do not, under any circumstances, mistake it for the colour movie of the same name. It's crap compared to the TV version!

    I remember watching the original BBC production. Only twelve at the time my rather strict parents relented upon being in bed early . The final episode was to me quite scary . It is my opinion that the later Hollywood Sci Fi movie starring Steve McQueen , the Blob was heavily influenced by the Quatermass Experiment.

    • @hanoverfist3805
      @hanoverfist3805 Před 11 měsíci

      Yes, there was something about that idea of a man being infected by a blob-like mass which really took hold of film-makers' imaginations after The Quatermass Experiment. I think Quatermass I was the Granddaddy of all blob stories. Speaking here on the influence of the Hammer version on subsequent movies, since most of the original BBC episodes were lost.
      But there is no doubt about it. In The Quatermass Xperiment, a man's hand and arm are infected by a bizarre alien influence; he is compelled to smash his hand into a small cactus which then combines with the original hand tissue to create a hybrid organism. The first "Blob" movie has been mentioned by Mr. Webb. A (bright red) blob infects a man's hand and then grows to absorb his entire body. At the end of the 1950s they made "Caltiki, the Immortal Monster" - a piece of blob monster attaches to a man's hand and arm. It is subsequently removed, but the fragment later grows to prodigious size and menaces the world. Meanwhile, the erstwhile infected man goes insane and wanders about committing murders in an obvious parallel to the wandering infected astronaut from Quatermass Xperiment. In "Angry Red Planet" also from the end of the fifties, astronaut comes in contact with a giant blob creature and ends up with - what else? - a fragment attached to his hand and arm.
      This idea was unstoppable, once presented to film-makers. The influence can be seen in "First Man Into Space, " and "Spacemaster X-7. " Echoes of it appear in such different movies as "20 Million Miles to Earth "(Harryhausen) and even "Behemoth the Sea Monster." Leaving aside the motif of an infected human, Quatermass was also the inspiration for "X- The Unknown," one of the finest blob movies of that, or any other decade. THANK YOU NIGEL KNEALE ! !

      Plenty of movies and games have been inspired by the "zombie" fungus. The Girl With all the Gifts. Superdeep, The Last of Us, Annihilation, probably many more. It links closely with the previous Quatermass Experiment, with the theme of an alien organism taking over a human host, combining with plants that reproduce by sporing and that way taking over the whole world.
