Each month, a new Hammer title rises from the crypt, restored and remastered, as part of this exclusive Limited Edition Collector’s range. Carefully chosen from Hammer’s legendary archive and brought back to life by British film studio Hammer.
70 years after its original release, The Quatermass Xperiment makes its worldwide debut as a brand-new 4K restored Limited Collector’s Edition. A genre-defining classic from the film studio that set the British standard for sci-fi horror, this release marks the first time the film has been released on 4K UHD and Blu-ray™ in the UK.
Created by the legend, Nigel Kneale, and directed by the great Val Guest, the film follows the journey of an astronaut who crash-lands on Earth, only to be transformed into something far from human. As the astronaut’s body mutates into a monstrous creature, his desperate attempts to control his violent urges become increasingly futile. With the authorities and scientists racing to understand what has happened, the terrifying consequences of space exploration unfold, leading to a race against time to prevent a full-scale catastrophe. The Quatermass Xperiment is a tense, suspenseful tale of scientific ambition gone awry, blending horror and science fiction.
Meticulously restored from original film elements, this release will be available as a limited collector’s edition 5-disc 4K UHD and Blu-ray™ set that delivers exceptional clarity and contrast, bringing out the full impact of the film’s eerie atmosphere and striking cinematography — carefully preserving its original tone and texture.
The Quatermass Xperiment Collector’s Edition includes:
- Want the full at-home cinema experience? No problem, this Limited Collector’s edition comes with a new 5.1 sound mix, giving you the true surround-sound experience, not available on the original release. Don’t worry if you want the original, the mono soundtrack is available too!
- Two brand new documentaries, one about the life, work and influence of the legendary Nigel Kneale (who wrote the original series) and the second, which explores the making of the film.
- A featurette on the restoration of the film, showing a behind-the-scenes look at how Hammer Films is turning their archive into these world-class 4K restorations.
