the quatermass xperiment (1955)

aka The Creeping Unknown.
1955 saw the release of what is considered the first of the 'Hammer Horrors', The Quatermass Xperiment. The spelling was deliberate to tie in with the X Certificate that it was given. Brian Donlevy as Quatermass is a bit too brusque for me, but Richard Wordsworth is fantastically tortured as the astronaut being consumed by an alien prescence.
