The Quatermass Xperiment 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray presents the Hammer sci-fi landmark that redefined British genre cinema. Created by Nigel Kneale and directed by Val Guest, this tense tale of scientific ambition gone horribly wrong arrives newly restored in 4K, marking the first time the film has been available in this format.
 
When a space mission crash-lands back on Earth, only one astronaut survives — and he is no longer entirely human. As his body begins mutating into something monstrous, authorities scramble to contain the spreading horror before catastrophe engulfs the city. Blending science fiction with creeping body horror, The Quatermass Xperiment established Hammer as a major force in postwar cinema and remains a chilling milestone of 1950s filmmaking.

starring: Brian Donlevy, Jack Warner, Margia Dean, Richard Wordsworth, David King-Wood
