Product Description

THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT: At the dawn of the space age the British Rocket Group launches three astronauts on an experimental mission. Their ship, Quatermass 1, loses radio contact with Earth and later crash-lands. Professor Bernard Quatermass (Brian Donlevy) is one of the first on the scene, and is intrigued to discover that two of the crew are no longer aboard. It soon becomes clear that the mission’s sole survivor, Victor Carroon (Richard Wordsworth), is desperately ill. Carroon is rapidly consumed by the parasitic alien organism that killed his fellow astronauts. He embarks on a murderous rampage, powerless to prevent his ultimate, horrifying transformation. The Quatermass Xperiment was based on Nigel Kneale’s groundbreaking BBC serial, and was the first of Hammer Film Productions’ legendary horror films. QUATERMASS 2: Strange metallic meteorites rain down over Winnerden Flats, an eerie new town in the vicinity of a highly guarded chemical plant. Professor Quatermass (Brian Donlevy) is intrigued to discover that contact with the meteorites causes an unusual infection, and is astonished to find that the chemical plant appears to be modelled after his own design for a moonbase – a design that enables life to thrive in an artificial atmosphere. Quatermass’s investigation uncovers a sinister conspiracy that extends from government level to the zombie-like workers who will stop at nothing to protect the plant. It soon becomes clear that they have all been enslaved by alien creatures who are using Winnerden Flats as the launching point for an invasion of Earth. Quatermass 2 was based on Nigel Kneale’s classic BBC serial, and is still regarded as one of the most disturbing films Hammer ever made.

4.0 out of 5 starsForget the cynics' nit-picking: the quality is fine.
By R. Smith on 26 Oct. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I almost never purchased this DVD at all on the basis of one review especially on here, which dismissed this outright as almost unwatchable in some respects: however, the appearance of more even-tempered, and frankly more balanced assessments made me decide to 'bite the bullet' and order this two-film set which has duly arrived this week.

Everyone seems to agree that the worst portion of this footage is the pre-credit sequence to 'Quatermass 2', so I jumped straight to that first, expecting to see some wretched snowstorm of unwatchable dross. Although this portion is undeniable grainy [although one close-up shot of a radiation-scarred victim is crystal-clear even here] it's not enough to spoil the viewing pleasure, and although the overall films have certainly not been lovingly restored frame-by-frame, they are most definitely watchable and of acceptable viewing quality, I am pleased to report.

Yes, there are white lines that crop up in a vertical portion now and again, but these are at the sidesof the screen, and just a small distraction. The actual picture quality is clear enough overall, and the only people likely to be disappointed are those expecting pristine quality, which is simply not feasible at this budget price.

I paid 3 pounds per movie and it was well worth it for the pleasure of owning these two excellent 50s UK sci-fi films, which up until now, have never been available easily or affordable in Britain on the DVD format.

The films themselves are cracking entertainment, and I'm delighted to own them on DVD at long last.

Worth pointing out: the films are together on a single disk, but as the running time is fairly modest, there are no compression problems.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsIcon Home Entertainment disc review
By A Customer on 6 May 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This review is for the Icon Home Entertainment edition.I am not reviewing the films, they have already been reviewed enough times. I want to speak about the quality of the prints. I am very picky about film prints, like most other like minded people, I love all these films and will always seek out the best quality print available for the film I am after.

The prints on this disc are good. Quatermass Xperiment is quite good and has good contrast and pretty good black levels. A couple of white tram lines appear either side of the picture that last about 5 mins and do not detract from the overall picture.The sound is again, perfectly good and does it's job.

So,for Quatermass Xperiment... PQ 7/10 SQ 7/10

Quatermass Experiment 2 is actually a better print than the first film! Yes there is heavy grain during the first 2 minute pre credit sequence but after that, the credits and the rest of the film are again, pretty good. There is some slight grain now and again during the last 20 minutes or so but again, this does not detract from the overall quality.The sound is perfectly fine and again, like the first film, does it's job.

So,for Quatermass Experiment 2 PQ 8/10 SQ 7/10

A lot of dvd players & televisions allow you to alter settings, my dvd player & TV are set to user control, you can set it to user, cinema, standard etc..these settings can have a different effect on the appearence on the picture quality so perhaps a little twiddling on your settings may improve the overall image of these films.

So, all in all, I am very happy with the quality of this disc and urge anyone thinking about buying it, well stop thinking about it and get it, you will not be dissapointed, I can assure you. The above is only my opinions and please feel free to correct me if you disagree.

3.0 out of 5 starsQuatermass parts 1 & 2
By richgrom on 7 Oct. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a good double bill released by Icons pictures, who recently botched up Captain Kronos Vampire Hunter. But this is not such a bad job. The main problem is the pre-credit sequence of Quatermass 2, which is extremely snowy. But it does improve once the credits roll and maintains a reasonable standard through most of the film. Quatermass Experiment does have some flickering (one noticeable scene in particular) but is a fairly decent picture for most of its length.
These films appear fairly modest now, but they did put Hammer films on the map before they blazed into colour with their gothic horrors. Of the two, I think Quatermas 2 stands up particularly well.
For the budget price, getting these two films is not a bad deal.

4.0 out of 5 starsReview on Picture Quality
By Kurt Stefan on 23 Sept. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
First, let me say I do not work for Icon or Hammer. Second, I own a 46" flatscreen with a 5 speaker surround system and watched the films on a blu-ray player. I am not an expert or DVD picture geek, but I do feel qualified to give an impartial viewpoint on the state of these two films' presentation on this DVD release.

Quatermass Xperiment: The film has speckling throughout its run, which is never heavy. There are very few moments where I found it distracting. The major negative for this print is the thin white lines which appear on screen just before the 49 minute mark and last for a little over 5 minutes. They are on the right and left of the screen and are fairly distracting, though they do not interfere with any picture information. Film grain throughout is perfectly acceptable. Despite what another reviewer wrote, I noticed no instances where the picture is "blurry". The blacks are definitely not as sharp as one would see in a remastered print, but while the picture is occasionally soft, it is not blurry.

There are a few instances of tinny sound. Again, these do not make it difficult to understand what is being said, though they can prove mildly distracting. Overall I would give the picture a fair rating, with the sound above average.

Quatermass 2: The opening scene, which is less than two minutes long, is extremely grainy. I had no trouble seeing the action however. This grain clears up as the titles begin. The condition of the rest of this print is good with acceptable grain. There is less speckling throughout than Xperiment and only one brief instance of a thin white line on the left hand side of the screen (less than a minute) about 3/4 of the way through the film.Read more ›
