Hammer Films were made infamous by their never - ceasing onslaught of schlocky 50s and LX revulsion films ( think Christopher Lee in Hammer ’s Dracula ) , but they also release several great low - budget science fabrication films . Now the ship’s company , defunct since the other 1980s , is back . They ’ll bereleasing raw films on MySpace , including the approaching ( and winningly - title ) After the Rave , before they become useable on DVD . With any destiny , they ’ll be giving us some low - budget science fiction fare to boot . Our picks of Hammer ’s best scifi schlock after the startle .
Spaceways : This 1953 film feature a scientist assay to testify that he did n’t wipe out his lady friend ’s ex-husband husband by launching him into space . That ’s one clever fashion to get rid of a envious beau .
Moon Zero Two : come just a twelvemonth after 2001 : A Space Odyssey in 1968 , this film featured human colonizing the moon , an asteroid made out of cerulean , and a shootout . It was bill as a Western in distance , trump Firefly by a few ten .
The Quatermass Xperiment : plausibly Hammer ’s most successful science fable picture ever released , this 1955 flick features the first gentleman in space getting infect during the flight and mutate into a bizarre exotic insectoid .

Four Sided Triangle : Two champion who hang in dearest with the same woman also pass to be working on a cloning machine called The Reproducer ( take that , merchandising departments ! ) work their problems by repeat her . Except the knockoff and the original both fall in honey with the same piece . Doubly screwed , and not in a expert room .
