Synopsis:
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 the Hammer Studios ever made. This DVD features the original uncut British theatrical print.
