This is one of the best science-fiction films ever to come from Britain. Full Review |

|
Val Guest's direction is as uncertain as script on which he collabs with Nigel Kneale [author of original story], with the result that all characters are stodgy. Full Review |

|
A masterful near-satire of Cold War paranoia and, arguably, the best of the Quatermass series. Full Review |
|||
|
Despite some clumsy moments that have not worn well, it remains one of the more bizarre and impressive of the early British horror pictures. Full Review |
