... the film is never less than intriguing and, at is best, is haunting, horrific and riveting.
November 17, 2011
This is Hammer's first major horror/science-fiction hit, but almost as notable is the fact that its doomed astronaut is the founding member of the studio's tragic rogues' gallery of transformed innocents -- monsters that didn't ask for their fates.

It was the enormous success of this Hammer version of Nigel Kneale's TV series which began the whole horror boom in Britain.

A number of decent performances and a gritty realistic view of London makes this little sci-fi spin-off still worth a look.
September 24, 2001
This shoestring budget sci-fier began the craze in Great Britain for the modern horror film.
November 06, 2002
One of the few truly great sci-fi films.
May 24, 2003
A thoughtful, hard-hitting, and bizarrely touching landmark of the sci-fi genre, endlessly referenced and recycled in subsequent film and TV.
February 16, 2016
The playing, as usual in films of this type, is serviceable rather than distinguished, with Brian Donlevy as a brusque and peremptory Quatermass and Jack Warner as the sturdily dependable representative of Scotland Yard.
May 14, 2008
This film featuring the super-scientist Quatermass was Hammer's first international hit and moved the studio to do films in the sci-fi and horror genres.
