Quatermass 2 Limited Collectors Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-Ray

Brian Donlevy returns as Professor Quatermass in this successful sequel from Hammer Films – a film that, if anything, is even more eerily prophetic and horrifyingly shocking than its predecessor. Quatermass 2, starring John Longdon, Sidney James, and a young Bryan Forbes, is presented in this brand new 4K restoration, carefully restored by Hammer in 4K from the original film material.

Quatermass and his colleague Marsh investigate the remote Winnerden Flats to find traces of a swarm of mysterious, symmetrical meteorites. But when one of them explodes and Marsh is injured, Quatermass is assaulted and Marsh is taken away by force by a group of zombified paramilitary thugs.

Brand new 5.1 mix for all three versions, along with the original mono film soundtrack. English, French, Italian, Spanish, and German subtitles on all versions of the film.
