	The Quatermass Xperiment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Quatermass Xperiment is a 1955 British science-fiction / horror film, based on the 1953 BBC Television serial The Quatermass Experiment by Nigel Kneale.
		Quatermass creator Nigel Kneale has vociferously decried the film version of his teleplay, and is especially critical of the casting of and performance by Brian Donlevy as Bernard Quatermass.
		The plot of the film seems to some to have been a major influence on a 1999 Johnny Depp movie The Astronaut's Wife, although it is not known whether the film really was an inspiration or whether this is merely coincidence.

	Quatermass
		Bernard Quatermass is the creation of screenwriter Nigel Kneale (1922-) for what was to be the first great sci-fi television serial The Quatermass Experiment (1953) and changed the fortunes of the struggling Hammer studios when it was adapted for the big screen as The Quatermass Xperiment to emphasise its X certificate rating in 1955.
		Bernard Quatermass, founder and head of the British Experimental Rocket Group, was a man ahead of his time.
		Quatermass any good, because every time he got involved he wound up confronting some invasion from outer space of the singularly nasty variety that left him more embittered about his stalled career and the fate of humanity.

	Horrordvds.com - Quatermass 2 DVD review
		Quatermass contacts his old adversary, Inspector Lomax and through Lomax a member of British Parliment offers his assistance, as he's long been suspicious of the Government and their explanation for the reasons behind the facility.
		Quatermass finds all the answers and many more questions, once he infiltrates the facility and just what is housed in the huge buildings.
		Quatermass 2 is sandwiched between The Quatermass Xperiment and Quatermass and the Pit, and, unfortunately, it seems to carry many of the problems of being a middle child.

	Scifilm -- Reviews, "Quatermass and the Pit" (1958)
		"Quatermass and the Pit" is the third of three science fiction serials chronicling the adventures of Professor Bernard Quatermass produced by the BBC in the 1950s.
		Quatermass is in London for a conference at the War Office, where he is to meet with the Minister of Defense and colleagues on the future of the British Rocket Group, which Professor Quatermass founded and has directed since its inception.
		Professor Quatermass is of course furious at this perversion of his Rocket Group, which he always intended for "peaceful scientific exploration." Unfortunately, the decision has been made, and one Colonel Breen (Anthony Bushell) has been assigned to join Professor Quatermass at the Rocket Group to oversee the transition to military authority (i.e.

	DVD Verdict Review - Quatermass
		Quatermass is a handsomely mounted miniseries in four parts that was broadcast on British television in 1979.
		The first three Quatermass films are remarkably good, especially given their age and low budgets, and they have a multitude of fans, of which I am one.
		Quatermass and the Pit is probably the best of the three, with its apocalyptic finale orchestrated by long-dead, malevolent Martians (the plot is too complicated to summarize).

	Television Heaven
		The story of the four Quatermass serials span three decades of television history, the original three being produced by the BBC in the 1950s and the belated fourth and final adventure for the independent company, Thames Television in 1979.
		The Quatermass Experiment told the tale Professor Bernard Quatermass (Reginald Tate), head of the British Rocket Research Group, and the deadly after effects which arise when an experimental spaceship with a three-man crew is deflected hundreds of thousands of miles off-course, before finally returning to Earth.
		Although Quatermass eventually defeats the threat as he had done so often in the past, this time the price paid is the ultimate one, as the strain causes the professor to succumb to a final, fatal heart attack.

	Quatermass
		Their return was The Quatermass Experiment, (1953) an eerie and sessational story about a professorial scientist of that surname whose experimental spaceship returns to earth with its sole surviving occupant contaminated by an alien virus which subsequently transmuted him into a 100-foot vegetable.
		Quatermass II (1955) was a creepy alien invasion story set around a sinsister chemical plant in a remote part of the country.
		The third series, Quatermass and the Pit (1959) was a dark, cabalistic tale of the excavation of an ancient alien-insect capsule in Knightsbridge, London from which an evil influence still exudes.

	Quatermass vs. the Aliens (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Quatermass turned back to his contemplation of the rocket, a silent figure among the rush and mumble of humanity that worked around him.
		Quatermass could be so coldly logical at times that he barely seemed to have any normal human reaction beside irritation when he experienced setbacks of his scientific projects.
		Quatermass practically dove on top of Marsh, and as they saw the trap door on the far side burst open and metallic, fl arms grab for purchase, the bell tower was rocked by the explosion of the grenade.

		Quatermass blasts Lomax for investigating the seriously ill Carroon, who collapsed seconds after leaving the capsule and is now a catatonic patient in British Rocket Group's medical ward, under the care of Dr. Briscoe (David King-Wood).
		Also, the Quatermass variation is not afraid to make the possibility of further contagion a global problem, because this monster escapes not into the Antarctic tundra, but into the densely populated metropolis of London.
		And at the start of the film, Quatermass warns that they cannot open the super-heated spacecraft so soon after re-entry without incinerating the crew inside, leading to a scientifically sound sequence in which the ship is doused by fire hoses until it is safe to open the airlock.

		Quatermass and his team had predicted the landing area, and rushed to the crash site, but were shocked to find only one survivor, Victor Carroon, with the other two astronauts not dead, but missing!
		Quatermass suspected the thing to be a Martian which had come to Earth more than five million years earlier, theorising that the aliens had visited our planet to modify the brains' of man's ancestors for some sinister purpose.
		Quatermass determined that the aliens were harvesting mankind as a source of food, and with Joe he worked to stop this.

	DVD Times - The Quatermass Collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Quatermass is an establishment figure, a member of a benevolent elite, more intelligent, educated and clear-sighted, and better qualified to make decisions on behalf of an excitable, easily led mass.
		Quatermass II may be the first sequel to have a “II” in its title, though Kneale justifies it further by it being the name of the rocket being developed in this serial.
		Quatermass 2 and the Quatermass experiment are worthwhile - the former is more along the lines of invasion of the bodysnatchers, but Pit is the real star of the show.

	AudioRevolution DVD Review Quatermass 2
		QUATERMASS 2 has been restored to its original title for its video release by the blessed Anchor Bay, but under any title, it's one of the best science fiction movies of the 1950s.
		Puzzled by his encounter with an apparently disturbed man with a strange scar, Quatermass doesn't consider it as important as the launch of his new rocket, which he hopes to use to establish a base on the Moon.
		The climax of the TV serial took Quatermass and a friend (omitted altogether form the movie) into outer space, to deal with the aliens in their home asteroid on a more direct level.

		The movie opens with Quatermass returning from a meeting with the British Parliament, where his request for more funding for his Rocket Group’s plan to build a lunar colony was denied.
		Quatermass, upset about his loss of funding, is angered about the unauthorized use of the equipment, but other events quickly make the meteor fall worth investigating.
		Quatermass goes to the authorities to report what is clearly an alien conspiracy, only to discover that, as always, the people in charge are no longer human.

		Since Dr Quatermass, the hero of both the TV series and the movie, was unknown to American audiences, it was released in the USA as Five Million Years to Earth, where prospective viewers were wooed with a hilariously lurid trailer that is included on this DVD release.
		Quatermass and Judd learn that the area has been considered to be evil and unholy since Roman times, and that rows of abandoned houses nearby were deserted decades earlier by inhabitants who claimed to see demons there.
		Quatermass and another scientist investigating the phenomenon quickly note the similarity between the horned heads of the insect-aliens and the representations of devils and demons going all the way back to the cave painters.

		An ageing Professor Bernard Quatermass comes out of his self-imposed exile on a remote Scottish island to search for his missing grand-daughter who has joined a strange hippie cult known as the Planet People.
		Quatermass struggles to find his grand-daughter, make sense of the mayhem around him and find a way to stop the alien cull.
		Not universally liked when it was first shown, Quatermass has matured well, its vision of a futuristic Britian in the grip of anarchy and mayhem not dissimilar to the scenes of inner city riots that were to become a depressingly familiar sight during the 1980s and 90s.
