Bernard Quatermass(Brian Donlevy) , scientist and explorer wants to build a Moon Base, hey, it's the 1950's, but no one else has any interest, why, well some one else already built it and is bringing down alien life, inside meteorites, and storing them in big domes !!! Savvy ? Well, there you go...
Quatermass stumbles onto the scheme and discovers the life forms that inhabit the dome !!! Everyone who comes into contact with the creatures, becomes a mind slave and must follow the leader ? Sound like Totalitanarianism ? Yep....But, the bearer is left with a mark, making it easy for the viewer and screen person, to detect the infected !!! Val Guest does a Superb direction of this Nigel Kneale story, written and shown on British Television in 6 installments. Shown in the U.S theatres as Quatermass II: Enemy from Space !!! Better than the first Quatermass which lacked a satisfying conclusion . Donlevy repeats his role of Bernard Quatermass with succinct approval !! Quaint, abrupt, never boring, somewhat one-dimensional, but always interesting and vibrant, Donlevy is appealing and perfect for the part as this irritating scientist, who has an unquenched thirst for knowledge and adventure !!! Terrific production values, they literally mad a very interesting story from Nothing !!! Would you believe the Shell Refinery as a Moon Base ? Yep, and it looks Great !!!
Take a Look !!! Quatermass II !!! Great Musical Score by James Bernard keeps the Suspense driving !!!
