You can’t escape it! Nothing can destroy it!
The Quatermass Xperiment (1955) follows Professor Bernard Quatermass as he investigates the crash of an experimental rocket that leaves its sole surviving astronaut disturbingly changed. As the man mutates and becomes increasingly dangerous, Quatermass races to understand the extraterrestrial contamination before it spreads uncontrollably. This British sci-fi horror blends Cold War anxiety, scientific dread, and creeping body horror in a stark tale of alien intrusion.
