Director Val Guest and actor Brian Donlevy returned for this sequel. Bernard Quatermmass has a plan to build a moon colony, but is called upon to investigate the mysterious landing of meteorites in the English countryside, near a village. He is startled to discover that a factory has been built nearby, where most of the villagers work, that is heavily guarded. He is told that it produces synthetic food, but comes to learn that it is really controlled by alien invaders who plan on world conquest. How can he and Inspector Lomax(now played by John Longden) stop this insidious plan? Worthy sequel with some violent and intense scenes, though the miscasting of the too-abrasive Brian Donlevy is again a big detriment. Too bad Patrick Troughton wasn't cast in this(and the first) instead!
