Brian Donlevy is still boring.

A valiant finale and solid overall theme keep Quatermass II from being unmemorable or a total bore, but it doesn’t carry the general appeal that its fast-paced predecessor did by maintaining( and showing) a constant sense of threat. I’m comfortable in recommending this to genre/decade fans and will probably visit it again myself, but for others it’s a pass, as if someone not a fan of 50s sci-fi might randomly consider Quatermass II for movie night.

Another sold entry in the series, however the 60s one remains the best of the bunch imo.

I thought a ticked-off Donlevy would make an interesting movie, but that wasn't the case -- he's pretty demanding of answers yet he himself won't give any. His impressive credentials, though, includes building a rocket that needs only a single guy to launch. The conspiracy-laden flick is pretty hokey, although there are a few good special effects that may attract 50s scifi fans. Favorite scene: the MP's "discovery."

This is one hell of a little sci-fi horror outing made just before Hammer jumped into horror with "The Curse of Frankenstein". It's fast-paced and surprisingly disturbing featuring men getting covered from head-to-foot in acidic goop and people being stuffed into pipes as a climactic plot point. Kneale had a real talent for writing vaguely Lovecraftian alien conspiracy plots and this is one of his best, really only rivalled by Hammer's subsequent "Quatermass and the Pit".

Entertaining pulp story though the storytelling is a bit uneven.

Bit disconcerting to see Sid James play a serious role and get shot. Wonderful how in the 50s a scientist and some angry old men in the village can stop the alien invasion etc. Yet despite all the quirks and lack of technology I still love these as they tell a story. It is also surprisingly fast paced.

Part sci-fi, part horror, part conspiracy thriller. Brian Donlevy is just as wooden as he was in the first film and Sid James doing a non-Sid James accent was pretty distracting, but other than that it's OK. The guy getting covered in goo was surprisingly gruesome and the monster looks great.

A slight improvement after the first film. It has a bigger budget and it shows.

Eerily atmospheric and well scripted, this has echoes of _Invasion of the Body Snatchers_, a solid supporting cast (including future director Forbes), and some genuine chills.

This owes a bit to _Invasion of the Body Snatchers_, but it's a tense and exciting sf thriller
