It scared the crap out of me when I was kid
same
Watched this movie on old B/W TV late one evening back in 1960's, was only 7. Scarred the living crap out of me and I never forgot it. Still get chills watching the artifact glow with veins, and the final scene when man on crane approaches the Horned Devil.
Hollywood don't have good writers anymore, That is why we don't get this level of story telling. They gone too political and Won't a free mind to create.
I was 10. It still scared me witless.
@@dragdragon23 this wasn't Hollywood. It was produced by hammer in the UK. Moreover it was adapted from the bbc serial from almost a decade before, written by nigel kneale.
@@cheasepriest Thanks for the info, but it also goes for the Brits as well for going woke and not allowing good productions there too!
52 years later, and this scene still gives me the creeps.
Same here!
It's easy to nit pick, but for the period in which it was made, the visuals were both inventive and audacious.
i first saw this film when i was a little kid in the 60s and i never forgot it, i saw again decades later and it's still a good scary movie with creepy sounds and images , this had to be one of the best films HAMMER ever put out!
That warbling energy sound is creepy AF. And then the scenes with masses of people focusing their collective psychic energies of hate on individuals in the street - feels like we're living that right now in America.
What you are referring to as warbling is know in musical terms as trill or shake. Wagner's composition Ride Of The Valkyries starts out with this effect.
Hmmm... Sounds like the Characters in the Film aren't the only people with Psychic/mind reading abilities.
@@hootinouts The higher pitch tones of peoples psychic power being focused on others, yes. I'm refering to the lower pitch sound of the energy being put out by the alien craft. And as it's not being used in any musical context it is definitely 'warbling'.
that’s so fucking cringe lmao
We now have the President (?) in 2023 for it to happen.
This was called Five Million Years to Earth on U.S. TV replays and is a GREAT movie. I was just a kid and the way it explained human evolution and religion as going back to ancient Mars blew my mind. Unforgettable.
The scene with Quatermass and the policeman rummaging around in the derelict house is my favorite portion of this brilliant thriller. The account given by the policeman about past goings-on in that house and the scratches on the house's old walls gave me the creeps.
The policeman was played by Grant Taylor who was General Henderson in UFO actually he was an Aussie actor.
I was born in 1952, saw the original and was scared then, its still scary I'm now 68,
One of the most intelligent sci-fi stories to grace the screen.
Special effects by the late great Les Bowie, who later won an Oscar for his matte work on Superman: The Movie.
- and the many collapsing / exploding things in that movie, such as Boulder Dam.
This movie scared the B'Jesus outta me as a young one. Never slept for days after.
Same, the ending eit the white projection absolutely TERIFIED me. So much so that i still get chills 45 years later
Amazing Movie, i love Hammer Films.
Always liked this movie from way back when I was a kid. Quatermass was the star, but Roney was a total badass the way he went out. That look on his face as he drifted toward the creature when he was on that crane was unforgettable.
first time i watched this was on a saturday night when my older brother was babysitting us kids he made us watch it i went to bed thinking about giant crickets and grasshoppers and the devil woke up the whole family screaming my lungs out got my ass kicked the next day by my older brother for having a nightmare and getting him in trouble, but he thanked me the next time my parents went out because he never had to babysit again. it came out in 1967 i was 4 but it came on tv in 1970 i think, i was 6
Watched this on a tiny Quasar black and white tv and mixed up my memories with another movie with UFO's attacking a city. Nightmares indeed but I loved it! lol
Best ending ever!!
Very creepy film. That horned devil reminds me of a termite - yuk!
This movie has everything a modern audience would latch onto. An alien hive intelligence projecting out from their spaceship causing an Apocalypse because people are crazy. I wonder if this inspired Stephen King to write Tommyknockers.
Stephen King mostly uses his dreams, but will copy a Disney movie, TV show, or any other good story when he feels like it.
Digby the Biggest Dog in the World ( Cujo ), Christine ( Happy Days ), the Disney film about the advertising executive that leaves his job, drags his family to a town in a northern state, tries to get the place liveable and profitable, constantly fights a boiler about the explode, his family thinking he's lost his mind, and is finally rescued from his folly when a train gets snowbound and two hundred people come to stay, and promise to visit in the future.
'Firestarter' is remarkably like the Marvel Comic's miniseries Firestar, 'The Institute' is the opposite of Xavier's School For Gifted Youth, etc.
Corny special effects but the movie itself was great scared the crap out of me when i was younger. Still one of my favorites
i first saw this movie in the 70's , i must have been about 9 or 10, till now its still as scary as sh^$!!!!
This was such a boss movie
Yeah, like a lot of people here, I watched it as a lil' kid of 8 or 9. Freaked the fuck out of me, seeing it was one of the few things I can remember extremely clearly from that time of life.
Wow, the horned devil line was s the only thing I remember about this movie. I saw this when I was like 12.
Same. i remembered it my entire life and eventually went on Reddit to ask if anyone knew what it was from. It was such a strong image that it lingered in me that long
@@marckhachfe1238 it's nice to see I am not the only one who watched old movies late at night.😁
Same here except I was in my late teens.
I feel cheated. I wanted to see the scene where professor destroys the "horned devil" with that huge crane. He dissipates all that energy to ground or "earth" as the Brits refer to it.
The Horned Devil! Don’t look at it! *Turns to look at it.*
I think some of the humans had an immunity to looking at it, according to the movie. I can't really remember because I was so young when I first saw it.
After watching this as a child, I was scared whenever I went on the tube.
子供の頃テレビで見てショックをうけた名作です。残留思念をクレーンでアースするアイデアは面白いです。
This scared the crap out of me when I was a kid 😂
Great and scary movie. I watch it whenever it is on TCM!!
This scene really terrified me when i was a child 🥺
The silly part was that you don't move a crane by climbing out on it. There's a control seat near the mast or on the ground.
"The Horned Devil" as if it were a species that he's describing. Why does this apparition resemble those insect-like corpses they found in the buried spacecraft earlier? They have horns like the ghostly image.
Check out the blue thing (whatever it is!) or spaceship (?) E. It resembles the creatures pulled out from the inside. Eebie Jeebies for sure. Great movie that makes me ponder who was here before caveman arrived.
Because it’s a stupid mess of a movie.
@@gweflj Indeed, but you have to admit the imagery of that glowing horned head is creepy as hell.
Oh yes, it creeped me out the first time I saw this movie many years ago.
Love the rubber block falling from the buildings
Yeah, and the obvious models being destroyed just before that. A whole "brick" facade moving as one??

Please display full verfsion in HD
Hi can someone tell me why he didn't use the crane controls to swing it round? Why did he walk all the way to the end of the crane arm? What was his plan? I know he wanted to earth the creature.but how did he think he was going to do it?
The "Devil" was a highly-concentrated field of electrical energy, and the crane was right next to it. Its controls would have been totally screwed because of induced currents.
How many scientists know how to operate a crane...?
He is seen clearly swinging his weight to make the crane arm swing toward the 'devil'.
The ground under the crane then collapses and carries him in anyway.
He might have 'swung' events in his favour.
Lol the quality of special effects is pitiful, but for that time it must be stunning xd
It's look like Earthquake of Japan
The devil on the poster look more like the devil than the movie
I still prefer the original 1950's version with Andre Morell...
Creeped me out as a kid.
This is what awaits you when you follow Elon Musk to his homeworld.
The horror...the horror.
Satan’s crosseyed?
It's looking right at Roney / the viewer at that moment.
That looks like the dude who got back-sassed by a computer in Willy Wonka
Dude is a stupid term,dude haha frown up
Dude 🙃
Haarp. Disassemble it.
This is what it will be like in London after Brexit.
*yawn*
Remoaner,dumbshit Brussels asskisser
@@johnsagar1152 TRIGGERED !! Lol...
Joe Smith triggered ROFLMAO
Nothing us Londoners can't handle. The devil should be a piece of cake after Brussels...
Ok, this is where the movie lost me. We spend the entire film with this sci-fi, Lovecraftian horror narrative. Then, near the end, we have to drag Christianity into the story by bringing in Satan.
Why? Wasn’t a powerful ancient alien being enough, or was their something in English film code that states that all horror MUST be religious in nature?
No. But the image of the horned man or monster, is seared into the collective experience of mankind. This is the central conceit of the movie, as exhaustively explained in the movie, original TV serial, and the novelisation. Well worth reading.
Papier mache martians, covered in green paint, made in 3rd grade art class.
I have a theory on the ending.
*SPOILERS AHEAD*
Roney's own latent psychic powers causes the crane to crash into the energy form.
Under stress trying to get the crane to move he causes the fracture in the Earth that ultimately sends him to his fate and dissipates the energy form.
So, ALL of humanity was "tainted" by the Martians genetic tampering, but some, like Roney, could only send out their telekinetic energy through stress.
It makes zero sense that the Martian energy form would allow for its own destruction.
Just a theory.
*Spoilers End*
See this movie.
It's one of the grestest SF films ever made.
