Book tickets

The definitive science-horror story and the film that catapulted Hammer from a B-picture studio into the majors, The Quatermass Xperiment still retains its power to shock seven decades after its initial release, now newly remastered for the first time. 

When the British-American Rocket Group sends an experimental manned spacecraft into outer space they soon lose contact and it crash-lands over two days later. But, as the scientists force entry to rescue the three-man crew, they find to their horror only one astronaut and two empty space-suits.

The ICA is also showing Quatermass 2.
