Quatermass 2
In England, a group of space scientists led by Bernard Quatermass, who have developed plans for the first Moon colony, learn that a secret, ostensibly government-run, complex of identical design has been built in a remote part of England and is the focus of periodic falls of small, hollow "meteorites" originating in outer space. Quatermass determines to investigate and uncovers a terrifying extraterrestrial life form which has already begun action to take over the Earth.
From the archive
Rocketry expert Quatermass, trying to gain funding for his Moon colonization project, is intrigued by mysterious traces on the radar at his laboratory. He finds that they represent unexpectedly aerodynamic meteors carrying something sealed in ammooia gas. At their landing site he finds a factory suspiciously close to his designs for the Lunar colony, which is supposedly producing synthetic food but is under armed guard. It turns out to be the beachhead of an alien invasion. Directed by Val Guest, based on the TV serial by Nigel Kneale, a sequel to the 1955 film "The Quatermass Xperiment". AKA "Enemy from Space" Brian Donlevy as Professor Bernard Quatermass John Longden as Inspector Lomax Sidney James as Jimmy Hall Bryan Forbes as Marsh William Franklyn as Brand Vera Day as Sheila Charles Lloyd Pack as Dawson Tom Chatto as Broadhead John Van Eyssen as The P.R.O. Percy Herbert as Gorman Michael Ripper as Ernie I colorized this using AI software that doesn't always get the colors right, but I think it looks fairly natural. Hopefully a more professional job will be done someday.
