Unlike all those cheap, lousy "science-fiction" movies of the '50's, this is actually pretty good. Hammer was gearing up when they made this.

You could make an argument that both Quatermass films with Brian could be in the top 10 science fiction movies of the 1950s . They are both excellent.

Brian Donlevy's presence accounts for 70% of the 2 movies' success.

Enjoyable low-budget movie. For some reason, the acting in British movies seems more natural and organic than in American movies. A nice performance by Brian Donlevy late in his career.

Pretty decent movie, I must say! I debated watching but decided to "give it a go" and I'm glad I did .. very well-made for the times! Now, I'm looking forward to even more Quatermass adventures, now that I've experienced one. Thanks for sharing and for the viewing opportunity!

To be honest, I think this is the weakest of the three films; the first is much better I think. But of them all, I think the third; Quatermass And The Pit; is the best, with the exception of the unconvincing 'Martians', everything else about it is just great.

Apparently, Donlevy was one of Barbara Stanwyck's favourite actors. She even convinced her brother to name his son after him ; Brian Stanwyck Stevens.

Not bad. Brian Donlevy was well past his prime as an actor when he starred in this. I think his finest performance was in the late Forties film “Impact”.

Strange how the plant guards could only shoot & miss then were somehow unable to pursue once the others drove away in a vehicle...and that security gate they drove through ecaping at the films end sure was solid wasn't it? Popped right open with no damage to the vehicle or the people in it at all...!
