Wissenswertes
Started life in 1973 as a BBC series called "Quatermass IV". It had been commissioned by Head of Drama Ronald Marsh, and according to Nigel Kneale, the intended producer was Joe Waters. Some model test sequences of the space station were shot, but eventually, the project was abandoned by the BBC. ITV then picked it up a few years later and produced it in association with Euston Films.

Low Budget, Good Ideas

"The Quatermass Conclusion" is one of the few 'true' pieces of science fiction ever committed to film and Nigel Neale's script rates up there with "2001" and "Dark Star" for inventiveness. Unfortunately it suffered from an obviously low budget and there are lapses here and there into melodrama. The story, set in a dystopian Britain, concerns the arrival of an unknown alien force which is 'harvesting' the youth by leading them to ancient ritual sites. Professor Quatermass (John Mills) comes out of retirement to look for his missing granddaughter and is drawn into the fight to save the planet's population. There are some disturbing images such as Wembley Stadium reduced to a 'killing ground' and the pensioners forced to live underground for safety. Many of the predictions in the film have since come about, such as the upsurge in 'hippy travellers' and the general social decay of the inner cities.
