              Overview

              Adapted from the iconic BBC series, Nigel Kneale's Professor Quatermass is second only to a certain Doctor in his ranking amongst British sci-fi's elite practitioners. When a sole survivor returns from an orbital mission, Professor Quatermass suggests all is not as it seems. In this plain-clothes invasion classic with a memorable climax at Westminster Abbey, Hammer Productions present a more adult spin on the wildly popular primetime TV serial, even emphasising the film's darker tone by proudly foregrounding the film's (then rare) 'X' certificate rating in its titular misspelling.
