Back in the 50s there were still many things we didn't know about space travel, and THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT (aka, in the U.S., THE CREEPING UNKNOWN) capitalized on that. Shot in black and white, the story details the aftermath of an experimental flight into outer space masterminded by the earthbound Dr. Quatermass. The ship returns minus two of its three-man crew. The third man, Victor Caroon, soon begins to change, mutating into a weird amorphous monstrosity that slithers and slimes its way into Westminster Abbey, where it is eventually incinerated by electricity. The film is notable for a mounting sense of dread and good performances by all the actors. (Lionel Jeffries, later to play Professor Cavor in Ray Harryhausen's FIRST MEN IN THE MOON, has a small role, and Jane Asher, later to be Paul MacCartney's girlfriend, plays an uncredited role as a little girl.) This film scared the crap out of me when I was a kid watching it on TV, and although it didn't scare me at age 66, I still found it enjoyable. There's not a boring moment in it. Vintage SF fans will want to check this one out.Read full review

This is a classic sci-fi/horror movie from Hammer, but re: this "MGM Limited Edition Collection", read the fine print: this is a made-on-demand DVD-R, with a cheap-looking, template-created insert. If I wanted a DVD-R of this movie, I would've torrented a copy. Totally not worth the price, especially since Kino Lorber recently released an excellent Blu Ray of this movie. I recommend picking that up instead.

Great old British science fiction film. I remember seeing this when I was a kid and being plenty scared! Quality of recording was excellent, shipped quickly. I am very happy with my purchase!
