Comment
"Dr. Quatermass Experiment" was the first of legendary Quatermass films in the series. A character who was born to a television series of the BBC six episodes of thirty minutes duration each (what we now call a mini-series) titled "The Quatermass Experiment" (1953). In view of the success, Hammer Films bought the rights to the story and reverted to first title of the trilogy. "The Quatermass Experiment" was conceived by writer Nigel Kneale. Kneale wrote many scripts for television, many of which were later adapted to film, but Quatermass was his most famous and well, Kneale did return the character to television in two occasions: "Quatermass II" (1955) and " Quatermass and the Pit "(1958-9). Both were also filmed by Hammer as, respectively, "Quatermass 2/The Enemy from Space "(1957) and" Quatermass and the Pit / Five Million Years to Heart "(1967). Two decades later, again Kneale Quatermass saga complete with "Quatermass / The Quatermass Conclusion" (1979). Nigel Kneale
proved to be a science fiction writer prolific and very popular during the next two decades. It was well known for developing a science-fiction different, full of bold ideas, originality and intrigue. As in "The Creature / The Abominable Showman" (1955) where the Yeti is a creature full of surprising humanity, or "Quatermass and the Pit", which mixes a lot of ideas the plot, combining the past and the origins of man, the devil, extrasensory powers and visitors from Mars, "The Quatermass Conclusion" in which some ancient megaliths are revealed as exotic portals used to abduct aliens land, "The Road" (1963 ) about how disturbing it can be a journey in time, "The Stone Tape" (1972), which provides scientific explanations of ghosts and specters, and "Beasts" (1976), an anthology of stories set in places monsters to everyday human being, as a farm, a supermarket, a bar, etc ...
"The Quatermass Xperiment" was a cornerstone gender in a number of crucial areas. For a start was one of the first productions made by Hammer Films, and his first international success. Equally important is that, "The Quatermass Xperiment" (with the exception of "Devil Girl from Mars" in 1954) was the first British film ventures into the theme of alien invasion so fashionable in the U.S. and with films from the likes of "The Thing from Another World" (1951), "It Came from Outer Space" (1953) or "The War of the Worlds" (1953), among many others.
also be noted that the idea of \u200b\u200ban astronaut who is infected and that, little by little, he mutated into something strange has been copied endlessly. Titles such as "First Man Into Space" (1959), "The Hideous Sun Demon" (1959), "The Crawling Hand" (1963) and some episodes of the series "Doctor Who" (1963-1989), especially "The Seeds of Doom "(1976), and several years later" The Incredible Melting Man "(1977) and a small movie called" Alien "(1979). Hammer also made an pseudosecuela with "X the Unknown" (1956), shameless copy of "The Quatermass Xperiment", which features a certain Dr. Adam Royston, because not authorized Kneale the use of the name of Quatermass. Many British films of the genre later also used the trick to import from the United States lead actor (here the grim Brian Donlevy) in order to open up the overseas market.
is to highlight the good work Val Guest and Richard Landau, in shaping the adaptation of the original idea (designed for the limitations of television in the year 50) in a new product that obviously is faithfully the plot but with the addition of having a larger budget and, therefore, more technical, which allows things like the outdoor location and more elaborate visual effects. Although the difference most important of the two versions is the character of Professor Quatermass, who in the various series and productions, is a scientist dominated by science and reason, but with all the forms, in the style of Peter Cushing, playing Van Helsing in Hammer's Dracula or Doctor Who. Brian Donlevy as Quatermass, plays a despotic bulldog, bad character, and education insensitive, arrogant and overbearing, which is able to do whatever it takes to achieve their objectives, without giving a damn about others (see the scene with the wife of astronaut ... makes you want to hit a slap!).
"The Quatermass Xperimen" lacks complexity of ideas found in Nigel Kneale's later works, but is developed with a creepy atmosphere. Val Guest made a film full of mystery, with disturbing scenes (Richard Wordsworth why hide the hand into the pocket of the jacket?). The performance is superb with a semi-documentary tone, journalistic report some exciting overtones gives plausibility to the narration, this, together with its dark and gloomy picture, printed on the film a somber hue, almost terrifying. The wonderful script gradually unfolds his scheme, since its inception, a space version of the "mystery of the locked room, through the mystery surrounding the surviving astronaut, reaching its mysterious mutation to the magnificent climax in Westminster Abbey, all with an incredible fabric, composed a masterpiece of suspense, a film that creates continuous expectations of the viewer, holding in suspense throughout the projection . Clothed, of course, by excellent performances, especially that of Richard Wordsworth who offers his anti-hero of the astronaut victim of a port space tortuous curse, a tragic design, reflecting on the suffering of his countenance, and that equated with Frankenstein's creature. Val Guest does an excellent job when comparing their suffering to silence mutant reactions people around him. There is an encounter with a girl that evokes the scene of the girl with Boris Karloff in "Frankenstein" (1931).
Shot from 18 October to December 1954, the film was released on August 26, 1955 X-rated Far from being deterred by this possibility has been exploited, and indeed the original title was changed to The Quatermass Xperiment to play with a giant "X" on the posters.
The BBC did a remake of "The Quatermass Experiment" for television in 2005, starring Jason Flemyng as Quatermass.
