Quatermass 2 1957 ★★★
This sequel to the cult classic Quatermass delves a bit deeper into the horror and the scarier parts. That makes it more of a fun watch, seeing how they now have more of a budget for special effects.
Of course, it's still a fifties flick, so the effects are not up to the standards that were developed in the seventies. But it is in a way interesting to see how Hammer are dveeloping their craft, thus going into the genre powerhouse they later would become.
Side note: The way a lot of these people talk is the stereotypical cliché a lot of people have in mind when they think of Britain. Shown in the obliviousness when Quatermass first encounters the invaders. I say, old chap, what's all this then?
A fun watch and available on YT for those interested.
