The first manned spacecraft, fired from an English launchpad, is first lost from radar, then roars back to Earth and crashes in a farmer’s field, and is found to contain only one of the three men who took off in it; and he is unable to talk but appears to be undergoing a torturous physical and mental metamorphosis.

Viewing Notes
Another title requested from the library a long time ago that finally arrived from Wilmette. Had already viewed via DKUTV last month but again felt obligated to watch this dvd since they went thru the hassle of getting it to me during this pandemic.
I dig this moody thriller and it’s my favorite of the Quatermass flicks that I’ve seen. Quite creepy when that infected astronaut loses it and goes off killing people. His wife is such a dummy.
