Quatermass 2 - The review

In this second and final part of the Cinematic Sausage’s festive special, the wonderful Martin Holmes* returns to conclude our look at the evocative Black and White ‘Quatermass films’ We sneak a peek at what lurks within the mysterious domes built on the ruins of the former village of Winnerton Flats. What are the social and political aspects of this 1950s sci-fi film that could be almost be a mirror image of the world of today? Revisiting from beyond this planet style locations, to looking at how a Capstan full strength cigarette  could have ward off an alien invasion. This is Christmas and this is your festive edition of the Cinematic Sausage, and what could be more festive than an alien invasion and a toupee chasing competition. All will become clear in our review of Quatermass 2 from Hammer films *Martin Holmes is available to listen to each week on his radio show centered around old and recent television programmes- ‘Vision on Sound’.
