The definitive science-horror story and the film that catapulted Hammer from a B-picture studio into the majors, The Quatermass Xperiment still retains its power to shock seven decades after its initial release, now newly remastered for the first time. Directed by BAFTA winner Val Guest (The Day the Earth Caught Fire, The Abominable Snowman), it stars Oscar nominee Brian Donlevy (Destry Rides Again, The Big Combo) and Richard Wordsworth (The Curse of the Werewolf, The Revenge of Frankenstein).

When the British-American Rocket Group sends an experimental manned spacecraft into outer space they soon lose contact, and it crash-lands over two days later. But, as the scientists force entry to rescue the three-man crew, they find to their horror only one astronaut and two empty spacesuits.
