Synopsis:
At the dawn of the space age the British Rocket Group launches three astronauts on an experimental mission. Their ship, Quatermass 1, loses radio contact with Earth and later crash-lands. Professor Bernard Quatermass (Brian Donlevy) is one of the first on the scene, and is intrigued to discover that two of the crew are no longer aboard. It soon becomes clear that the mission`s sole survivor, Victor Carroon (Richard Wordsworth), is desperately ill.

Carroon is rapidly consumed by the parasitic alien organism that killed his fellow astronauts. He embarks on a murderous rampage, powerless to prevent his ultimate, horrifying transformation. The Quatermass Xperiment was based on Nigel Kneale`s groundbreaking BBC serial, and was the first of Hammer Film Productions` legendary horror films. This DVD features the original uncut British theatrical print of this seminal sci-fi/horror movie.
