🔴 Title: THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT
🔴 Summary: Professor Bernard Quatermass, Director General of the British Experimental Rocket Group, launches the first manned space flight from Australia. A malfunction sends the rocket and its three man crew thousands of miles off course. When the rocket returns to Earth, it crashes in Wimbledon. To the shock of Quatermass, his team, and the spectators who gather around the crash site, only one of the three crewmen, Victor Carroon, is still aboard. Carroon seems unwell, barely able to talk. Examinations of the rocket by both Quatermass and Scotland Yard's Inspector Lomax reveal that something attacked the crew of the rocket as they were on course back to Earth. Even more alarming is that Carroon seems to be undergoing some sort of metamorphosis, which is accelerated by a botched kidnapping attempt by foreign agents. #sci-fi #sciencefiction

It's not bad, but it does take a lot from this film. The scene where the rocket passes through a cosmic dust cloud is the eeriest. It is like what I imagine happened in this film. where an alien force penetrated the rocket to get at the astronauts inside. The cattle mutilations were a good touch too. Best of all was the appearance of Roger Delgado, who had first appeared in "Quatermass II." I think the casting of Donlevy as Prof. Quatermass was smart and contributed to the film's appeal in the US.

Just brilliant. It only hints at the deeper plot of the original, but still manages to pull it off. It reminds me of "It Came From Outer Space" and "The Thing from Another World" only this film is set in London and its eerie back streets. The zoo scene is especially creepy and well shot. The effects are just perfect, the "thing" being just the sort of monster you might imagine crawling around in the shadows, quickening your pace. It certainly beats all those men in rubber suits going "grrr, grrrr..." The score by James Bernard really sets it off and builds the tension right up. There was a similar monster in the film "Die Monster Die" which appears also to have been created by Les Bowie and his team.

70 years on and these Quatermass films have stood the test of time. I remember being scared witless when they were first aired on the BBC. Today I see that their quality and longevity is based on rock-solid acting by seasoned actors. In many examples of this genre, the 'monster' or the 'being' is rather comical, inviting mockery, but in this and other Q films that's never the case. Because the acting is so brilliant. They are believable . There is music, but used judiciously and there are long sequences without a music track. I also really admire the way that the dialogue constantly overlaps, with one actor talking over another (the timing must have been damned hard to achieve), and this injects realism and pace into the action. Really, very well done.

So it seem the writer Nigel Kneale did not care for Brian Donlevy in the title role. Donlevy was said to be a difficult person, drunk a lot at the end of his career. Of course Nigel also had a fear of hippies. He thought they were the end of society. I myself like the way Donlevy portrays Quatermass. His terse abrupt acting style suits the character of Quartermass and his single minded pursuit of the conquest of space.

There's something about the Donlevy playing of Quatermass that corresponds with the Peter Cushing portrayal of Dr. Frankenstein.

What always made this film timeless for me was how it ends with Quatermass' stoic walk away reaction where he ignores everyone he encounters except for Morris. Which when Quatermass tells Morris "we're going to start again..." and walks away followed by the final scene where the rocket lifts off speaks powerfully to Quatermass' resolve. The aforementioned was and always will typify the excellent acting which made this movie work back then and why it still holds up today as a great scifi movie.

It's haunting performance from Richard Wordsworth enhanced by his skeletal face and physique. Incredibly powerful even today. Val Guest's direction gives it an almost newsreal/documentary reality making it truly terrifying. And it was made in 1955!! When I saw it as a lad on TV (late 60s) it scared the living daylights out of me. Once seen, never forgotten. A great start to Hammer's golden age.

Dave (4/15/2023) I've been watching scifi/horror movies for over 65 years (the first movie of any kind I remember seeing is "It Came from Beneath the Sea" with my Dad, also a fan, at a Midnite Monster Marathon at our local drive-in theater. It came out in 1955, so I was 4. I've been in love with the genre ever since. I had the good fortune of growing up in the broadcast area of Rochester and Buffalo N,Y. Channel 13 and channel 7 had great late monster movies every weekend. Channels 8 and 10 occasionally aired them as well. I barely remember seeing this Quatermass film, except for that memorable climax in Westminster Abbey. My aging brain confuses it with Marshall Thompson"s "First Man into Space" (1959). "Quatermass and the Pit" aka "Quatermass II (1957) was often aired, while at the movies they ran a more comp;lex Quatermass movie, "5 Million Years to Earth" (1967). About 40 years ago I had the good fortune to see a multi-episode presentation of "The Quatermass Conclusion", about aliens bent on des for now destroying humanity. Well, I've rambled on enough for now (another age thing!).

This is based on an early 1950s UK TV mini-series but some of those episodes are lost! A few years ago in the UK they did a modern remake but it was terrible!

I worked with the late Richard Wordsworth years ago in Theatre. Descended from the Lake Poet Wordsworth and ran a language School at Rydal. . Hugely intelligent and witty. A very good actor. Turning into a giant cucumber was a bit of a waste of his greatly underrated talents.

Nigel Kneale wrote a lot of the BBC's stuff. Always rather wordy, but none of it was wasted. This was an excellent adaption. Even though Brian Donlevy seems an odd choice for Quatermass, he does well in his role. Excellent performances all around. Always worth watching.

I particularly like the bit where the monster threatens to keep growing and take over the world. People have gathered at the scene and a police loud speaker is saying, "Please remain calm. There is no danger. Please go home there is nothing to see." The best of the early sci films was The Thing from Another World" 1951 with a flying saucer crashed in the Arctic circle and frozen in the ice. Black and white, in many ways I think a superior film to the 1980s remake where the colour and technical capabilities created a vivid film. I was 13 in 1951 and every time I went out at night I remembered the admonition at the black and white film's end, "Watch the skies."

I'm genuinely made very uncomfortable watching that: I feel I'm watching a very real, terrifying, and incomprehensible fatal event. The rather scary sound accompanying the event doesn't lighten the mood at all either, presumably BBC radiophonic workshop. A genuinely frightening moment.
