This shoestring budget sci-fier began the craze in Great Britain for the modern horror film.

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.

A thoughtful, hard-hitting, and bizarrely touching landmark of the sci-fi genre, endlessly referenced and recycled in subsequent film and TV.

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

... the film is never less than intriguing and, at is best, is haunting, horrific and riveting.

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.
