00:00:00 - 00:10:00

The 1957 British science fiction film "Quatermass 2" is reviewed in this YouTube video. The reviewer discusses the consistent performance by Ryan Donlevy, as well as the weirdness of him saying "What the devil" in the midst of his British accent. The review also talks about the returning characters, John Longden and Brian Forbes, and how they differentiated themselves from the first movie's characters. Lastly, the review mentions that the movie reminded the reviewer of "Soylent Green," "Kaltiki," "The Immortal Monster," and " Invaders from Mars."

• 00:00:00 In "Quatermass 2," a scientist's failed attempt to secure funding for his moon project coincides with a chance run-in he has with a man and woman on the road. The man is afflicted by a strange injury, and bizarre findings about the rocks that caused the injury lead quatermass to a blocked off site. With global implications, he soon finds himself drawn into a deadly mystery. This film is based on a six-part TV miniseries, and was directed by Val Guest. The music was composed by James Bernard, and the film has good imagery, like a scene where a man appears at the top of a tower screaming in terror and pain. The actor must have been cleaning stuff out of his nooks and crannies for days to make the scene realistic.

• 00:10:00 This video reviews the 1957 British science fiction film "Quatermass 2". The final act ramps up the action considerably, with a riot and violence. However, there's a reveal near the end that once again I found disappointing. It didn't seem that it was interesting, but I liked it otherwise.
