This was the first sequel to The Quatermass Xperiment and once again stars Brian Donlevy as Professor Quatermass. In this one, strange meteors fall on a new village, Winnerden Flats, and a chemical plant there is supposed to be making synthetic food, but it certainly isn't making that. Quatermass is sent to investigate strange happenings there and it turns out that this chemical plant is being run by aliens which are making a kind of ammonia. After some fighting at the end between aliens and local residents, the domes of the plant are blown up and the large blob monsters in them are killed. The Earth is saved. Quatermass 2 has an excellent and haunting music score and the movie is beautifully shot in black and white. As well as Brian Donlevy, the cast includes a pre Carry On role for Sid James as a reporter, Brian Forbes and John Longden. I enjoyed watching this movie and is certainly a must for 50's sci fi fans. Fantastic. Rating: 5 stars out of 5.
