Quatermass 1979 2005 Horror Movie Review

As the millennium draws to a close, civilization is on the verge of collapse. Gangs rule the streets. Books are burned for fuel. And a monstrous force from outer space is destroying the world’s youth. Planet Earth is in dire need of a hero. Enter the world’s greatest rocket scientist—Professor Bernard Quatermass. Fresh out of retirement, the aging Quatermass is as brilliant and plucky as ever. While London crumbles under anarchy, the professor uses his powerful intellect to marshal assistance from American and Russian quarters and combat what could be the planet’s final enemy. Along the way, he hopes to be reunited with his missing 16-year-old granddaughter. One of sci-fi’s most original creations, inspiring favorites like The X-Files, this classic 1970s production of QUATERMASS stars Academy Award®-winner Sir John Mills (Ryan’s Daughter, Gandhi) and features all four episodes, plus the rarely-seen theatrical version, on DVD for the first time ever. DVD Features: THE QUATERMASS CONCLUSION—The Rare, Feature-Length Theatrical Version; “Enduring Mystery of Stonehenge” episode from THE HISTORY CHANNEL®‘s award-winning series In Search of History; Interactive Menus; Scene Selection
