	Quatermass 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quatermass 2 (also known as Quatermass II) is a British science-fiction/horror film, produced by the Hammer company and released in 1957.
		Quatermass 2 is generally regarded by fans and critics as the least successful of Hammer's three film adaptations of the serials, although Kim Newman praised it as "extraordinary" in the Penguin Encyclopaedia of Horror and the Supernatural (1986).
		Quatermass 2 was also useful to fans as it had been available on VHS and DVD before the original television serial was released.

	QUATERMASS AND THE PIT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		All of the Quatermass stories are among the best of intelligent filmed science fiction, weaving scientific theories and speculation into a scenario that seems both plausible and frightening.
		In 1980 Kneale wrote one last Quatermass story for TV that has yet to be transferred to the big screen but with it's extremely downbeat ending I doubt it would survive the process intact.
		Quatermass begins to believe that the insect creatures were from Mars and the object was a spacecraft bringing genetically mutated apes to Earth.

	Horrordvds.com - Quatermass 2 DVD review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.

		Quatermass and Roney's assistant Miss Judd (Barbara Shelley of Village of the Damned and Dracula, Prince of Darkness) are intrigued by the neighborhood surrounding Hobbs End.
		Quatermass is, by the time of Quatermass and the Pit, the quintessential "troubled scientist," the man who is both learned in his field and wise enough to know that his research can be turned to diabolical aims by powers beyond his control.
		Roy Ward Baker, the director of Quatermass and the Pit, ascribed part of Quatermass' appeal to his being "a bit of a rough diamond," a spiky genius whose liberal tendencies and impatience with authority are valuable weapons in the war against unknowable alien forces.

		Quatermass deduces that the arthropods are Martians who performed selective breeding on Earth hominids to increase their intelligence, changing the course to evolution to produce Homo sapiens and thereby colonizing the Earth by proxy.
		Quatermass 2 has foul-smelling gases (a farm worker in the TV serial describes the pseudo-meteorite as “stinklike dirty stables“), human pulp, corrosive slime and faecal aliens writhing in the excremental “food” inside the pressure domes.

	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.

	Quatermass and the Pit/Quatermass 2
		Quatermass 2 (released in the U.S. as Enemy from Space), released a decade earlier, is Britain's answer to Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
		Quatermass soon realizes these aren't asteroids at all, but projectiles containing intelligent spores from another world which infiltrate and control their hosts.
		Quatermass 2 may seem a bit derivative in the wake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but it still manages to tell a compelling story, as well as including a few sly comments on British bureaucracy.

		Quatermass II (1955) takes advantage of a further two years of technological development in TV and is a more accomplished production than the first, with ambitious and effective location filming and pioneering visual effects work from Jack Kine and Bernard Wilkie.
		Quatermass himself is less memorable, played this time by John Robinson, who was drafted in at short notice after the sad death of Reginald Tate during the serial's pre-production.
		Quatermass 2 and Quatermass and the Pit are superior examples of television drama that stand up to modern scrutiny very well.

		Acting on orders from higher up, Lomax is powerless to help beyond suggesting that Quatermass go see the opposition MP Broadhead (Tom Chatto), who has his suspicions about the plant, which is supposed to be conducting secret research into the manufacture of synthetic foodstuffs.
		Quatermass goes to see Broadhead, who wonders why it is that nothing ever seems to come out of the plant, and is fortunate enough to visit on the very day when the MP's request to visit to the plant has finally been approved.
		The alien entities are also somewhat less convincing than the one in The Quatermass Experiment, with it remaining unclear to me how an amorphous gestalt made out of millions of little formless splats could manufacture the meteor pods in the first instance.

		Back at British Rocket Group, Quatermass' team is tracking a steady shower of meteors, which are falling in the area where Quatermass found the young man. Quatermass and one of his assistants, Marsh, return to the area, and find the roads blocked off by military forces in face-concealing gas masks.
		The refinery plays home to many of the film's most memorable scenes, including a moment that is still horrifying to watch 45 years later, as one of the characters tumbles down the stairs of a silo, covered in an alien substance, screaming in excruciating anguish as his flesh blisters away.
		As Quatermass tells Lomax, the mysterious operations at the plant are dedicated to "the mass destruction of men's minds." The true villains of the piece are those figures that willfully keep the public ignorant of the truth: the bureaucrats, the industrialists, the soldiers, even the police.

		Plot Outline: Professor Quatermass follows the trail of what he thinks are meteorites crashing down onto Earth.
		But Quatermass uncovers something far more sinister: it is being used as a landing point for aliens who start taking control of the human body and mind.
		Brian Donlevy reprises his role as Professor Quatermass and again brings the same brash, abrasive qualities as he did before but I like those qualities, especially when he is supposed to be a rather arrogant scientist.

		Quatermass itself would prove a popular series of films based upon Nigel Kneale's popular BBC tv series, and which having been filmed by independant company Hammer Films, would indirectly be responsible for the cult gothic horror film craze of the late 50's and 60's.
		Professor Bernard Quatermass in the guise of Brian Donlevy, stumbles upon a young couple who claim to have been burned by debris near a deserted village.

	Savant Review: Quatermass 2
		Along with Fritz Lang's The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse, Quatermass 2 was the missing link in the progression of pop pulp sci-fi from the serial thrillers of the 40s, to the James Bond films of the 60s.
		Quatermass 2 is shot in gloomy fl and white, with less than stellar production values (some folks don't like the monsters much), but it is a taut thriller told with Val Guest's most cinematic direction, and with a cast that really believes they're fighting to save the world.

		Director Val Guest's Quatermass II (1958), known in its original American release as The Enemy from Space, has a number of points of contact with The Body Snatchers, and is equally effective in conjuring an atmosphere of occult paranoia over a contagious loss of humanity.
		Whereas the first Quatermass film had an alien intelligence inside a human being, in the sequel the alien intelligence is already here and has with unrealistic ease infiltrated the highest reaches of British government.
		QUATERMASS 2 is a film that proves that British Science Fiction can uniquely speak to the culture of Britain and work as a fine example of the genre, for me this film remains Hammer's finest achievement.
