Quatermass Double FeatureNC
82 mins / 85 mins – United Kingdom 1955 / United Kingdom 1957
Director: Val Guest
Starring: Brian Donlevy, Richard Wordsworth and Sid James
Triskel Arts Centre is delighted to present a double feature of THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT (1955) and QUATERMASS 2 (1957), both directed by BAFTA winner Val Guest (THE DAY THE EARTH CAUGHT FIRE, THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN) and starring Oscar nominee Brian Donlevy (DESTINY RIDES AGAIN, THE BIG COMBO) as Professor Bernard Quatermass.
The definitive science-horror story and the film that catapulted Hammer from a B-picture studio into the majors, THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT still retains its power to shock seven decades after its initial release, now newly remastered for the first time. When the British-American Rocket Group sends an experimental manned spacecraft into outer space they soon lose contact and it crash-lands over two days later. But, as the scientists force entry to rescue the three-man crew, they find to their horror only one astronaut and two empty space-suits.
After the phenomenal success of THE QUATERMASS XPERIMENT, Hammer decided to make a sequel: QUATERMASS 2. When a series of meteorite showers fall near a top-secret government facility, Professor Bernard Quatermass is drawn into a mystery with terrifying implications. What begins as a scientific inquiry soon reveals a covert alien infiltration, spreading silently beneath the surface of official research. As the conspiracy unravels, Quatermass races against time to expose the truth—before an otherworldly force changes humanity forever.
One ticket is valid for both films. The running time of the entire event is approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes (this includes a 15-minute break in between).

A gritty, surprisingly creepy and graphic story.
