Overview
In England, a group of space scientists led by Bernard Quatermass, who have developed plans for the first Moon colony, learn that a secret, ostensibly government-run, complex of identical design has been built in a remote part of England and is the focus of periodic falls of small, hollow "meteorites" originating in outer space. Quatermass determines to investigate and uncovers a terrifying extraterrestrial life form which has already begun action to take over the Earth.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A creeping sci-fi nightmare about invasion and infiltration, where the real horror isn't the alien creatures, it's how easily they exploit human greed and institutional indifference. British and bureaucratic in its slow-burn dread.
