The Creeping Unknown is probably the best title for this movie - as compared to UK's 'The Quatermass Xperiment'. In 1955 this was about creepy as it got, but by today's standards it's rather a standard early Si-Fi entry - if not pretty tame. While well made for its time and budget, the scientific details are now left quite wanting. Some scenes still hold up but others have been overtaken and now depend on how far you're prepared to let your imagination go. If looking to revisit or see this for the first time, be prepared to leave your expectations of believable situations elsewhere and enjoy it for some good B/W photography, music score, certain performances (especially the infected man) and to observe the development of mid-to-vintage cinema. Other than that, it has not really held up all that well. The DVD re-mastering quality is excellent.
