Four Sided Triangle (Dir. Terence Fisher, 1953)

Stephen Murray stars as Dr. Bill Leggat who, along with his childhood friends Lena and Robin, creates a machine that can flawlessly replicate anything, be it animate or inanimate. Undermining the trio's professional relationship is the sexual tension that has been brewing for years. Both men are attracted to Lena, but, on the eve of the public announcement of their invention, Lena declares her love for Robin. Devastated, Bill decides to clone Lena, and names the clone, who has all of Lena's feelings and memories, Helen. Confident that Helen will love him, Bill takes her on a holiday. However, while away, Bill's relationship with Helen does not go as planned, causing Bill to resort to some shady experiments on Helen that will force her to love him.

Produced by Hammer studios and directed by their most celebrated director, Terence Fisher, Four Sided Triangle was something of a precursor to many of their most famous films

The Quatermass Xperiment (Dir. Val Guest, 1955)

At the dawn of the space age the British Rocket Group launches three astronauts on an experimental mission. Their ship, Quatermass 1, loses radio contact with Earth and later crash-lands. Professor Bernard Quatermass (Brian Donlevy) is one of the first on the scene, and is intrigued to discover that two of the crew are no longer aboard. It soon becomes clear that the mission’s sole survivor, Victor Carroon (Richard Wordsworth), is desperately ill.

Carroon is rapidly consumed by the parasitic alien organism that killed his fellow astronauts. He embarks on a murderous rampage, powerless to prevent his ultimate, horrifying transformation. The Quatermass Xperiment was based on Nigel Kneale’s groundbreaking BBC serial, and was the first of Hammer Film Productions’ legendary horror films. This DVD features the original uncut British theatrical print of this seminal sci-fi/horror movie.

Quatermass 2 (Dir. Val Guest, 1957)

Strange metallic meteorites rain down over Winnerden Flats, an eerie new town in the vicinity of a highly guarded chemical plant. Professor Quatermass (Brian Donlevy) is intrigued to discover that contact with the meteorites causes an unusual infection, and is astonished to find that the chemical plant appears to be modelled after his own design for a moonbase – a design that enables life to thrive in an artificial atmosphere.

Quatermass’s investigation uncovers a sinister conspiracy that extends from government level to the zombie-like workers who will stop at nothing to protect the plant. It soon becomes clear that they have all been enslaved by alien creatures who are using Winnerden Flats as the launching point for an invasion of Earth. Quatermass 2 was based on Nigel Kneale’s classic BBC serial, and is still regarded as one of the most disturbing films the Hammer Studios ever made. This DVD features the original uncut British theatrical print.
