Movie Reviews of Quatermass 2
Movie Review: A classic....
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw this movie on public television while sick at home. My mind, high on cough syrup, was hooked by the movie which I watched while in a dark room, sipping orange juice and trying to get some rest. The feeling that something was going wrong, the slow build up, as fact after fact screamed to Quatermass that he had to act and act now! The chilling part of the movie was really how realistic the people were - the villagers who don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, the police and government officials who refuse to do anything without proof, the feeling that time was being wasted while Quatermass begged somebody to notice, anybody, that something was wrong.
A alien invasion story that, while a classic, has not really been remade.
Brian Donlevy seems like a down to Earth Quatermass to me - I have no problem with him. In fact most of the actors and actresses seem to fit their characters perfectly.
The best part was the fact that after the film ended, and the menu popped up, I found out the film had commentary by the director and writer, with a third, unnamed person, acting as a interviewer. I am not sure if it was meant for the film or was pieced together from earlier interviews, but it seemed to match what was on the screen and is a wonderful extra. They also had the American trailer for the film.
All in all a wonderful DVD. And mine was from Anchor Bay, not some bootleg version on DVD-Rs.

Summary: 5 Stars
Got my product in a timely fashion and I have no complaints. I think it wonderful that Amazon made this title available again after it went out-of-print from original manufacturer. I wish they would do the same for all the other Hammer titles that are still OOP. The quality of the DVD is excellent. Any buyers who complain are stupid and should be ignored. - JBMovie Review: Quatermass 2
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this dvd because of a vague memory of an "Early Show" viewing of Quatermass 2 on a local L.A. tv station sometime in the early 60's. I was mesmerized by "Quatermass 2" as a kid, just as I had been by "Invasion of the Body Snatchers",also first viewed on the same "Early Show" (Yeah, yeah,I know,I should have been out playing or doing homework, not watching tv at 4:30 in the afternoon! Maybe I would have learned how to write!). Both films have similar plots. Although "Body Snatchers" was often discussed and easily viewed or purchased over the decades, Quatermass 2, perhaps because it was an English production, seemed, at least to me, difficult to find. Previous reviews have remarked on what they preceived as the poor quality of this dvd release through Amazon. The very dark opening scene would be considered by most people, I think, inferior in picture quality to most VHS tapes. However, after the initial scene, I found the dvd to be highly watchable and on par with the quality of most dvds I have bought over the last 10 years.
Quatermass 2 is entertaining and unusual. For me, it was worth the price of purchase
Movie Review: Quatermass 2: Superb British Science Fiction
Summary: 4 Stars
Certainly the best of the best of British Science Fiction film. This film is often diffucult to find on DVD so it was nice to see on Amazon. I was also pleased to see commentary on the DVD as well.
The pace of the film is fast, and the special effects are very good even by today's standards. Watch the skies! And if you see a small pod fall from the sky, by all means do not pick it up!!
