QUATERMASS 2 ( 1957 )
Brian Donlevy reprises his role in this Nigel Kneale TV adaption sequel.
Somewhat ponderous and less effective than the earlier film Quatermass 2 is nevertheless a splendid slice of british SF cinema. It is also much darker than the other two.
Director Val Guest maintains and conveys a nice sense of mystery and threat throughout as we find out just exactly what is being manufactured at the secret plant and about it's monstrous occupants.
Best scenes are the ones at the plant ,especially where one of the touring crew, a minister, accidentally falls into one of the domes and stumbles screaming down the steel steps covered in a corrosive black sludge. A very impressive scene.
Only minor complaint, performance wise is Sid James in a cameo role as the drunken press reporter Jimmy. Definitely the worst performance in the film!
If you enjoyed either of the other Quatermass films you will most certainly enjoy this one. I know i did!

Now that takes me back. This was the very first science fiction film I ever saw. I was about eleven years old - and the rest is history (or do I mean hysteria).
