The Quatermass Xperiment [4K UHD Blu-ray]

The definitive science-horror story that propelled Hammer from a B-picture studio into the majors, The Quatermass Xperiment retains its power to shock seven decades after its initial release. Starring Brian Donlevy as the legendary Professor Quatermass, alongside Jack Warner, Margia Dean, and Richard Wordsworth, this Limited Collector's Edition features a brand-new 4K restoration from original film elements, presented in both its original as-filmed fullscreen and as-exhibited widescreen aspect ratios.
