About the Item
This dramatic 1957 UK Quad film poster for Quatermass II is a superb example of classic British sci-fi horror advertising, created at the height of Hammer Film Productions’ golden era. Bursting with explosive colour and mid-century intensity, the artwork vividly conveys the film’s atmosphere of mounting paranoia, extraterrestrial menace, and high-stakes action. The terrified heroine, the monstrous alien form, and the sprawling chaos in the background encapsulate the film’s gripping storyline in a single, unforgettable image.
Quatermass II (released in the United States as Enemy from Space) is the second film in Hammer’s celebrated Quatermass series, adapted from Nigel Kneale’s pioneering BBC television serial. Directed by Val Guest and starring Brian Donlevy, the film follows Professor Quatermass as he investigates a mysterious industrial complex harbouring a chilling extraterrestrial conspiracy. Widely regarded as a landmark in British science fiction, the film blended Cold War anxieties with bold storytelling, helping cement Hammer’s reputation as one of the most innovative voices in genre cinema.
Hammer Films, founded in 1934, became world-famous in the 1950s and ’60s for its stylish and atmospheric horror and science fiction productions. Known for revitalising Gothic horror with vibrant colour, heightened drama, and charismatic performances, the studio also played a pivotal role in defining British sci-fi through its Quatermass adaptations. Hammer’s unique blend of suspense, imagination, and visual flair remains hugely influential, and original posters from this period are highly prized by collectors.
This country-of-origin UK Quad film poster with its bold typography, dynamic layout, and thrilling imagery, stands as an essential piece of Hammer legacy and British cinema history. Originally folded (as issued) it has been professionally linen-backed. It is sized 30 x 40 inches (plus a bit more including the linen-backing) and will be sent rolled (unframed).
