X the Unknown**
GB 1956. Exclusive (Hammer). 78m. bw

A remote research laborartory in Scotland is threatened by a radioactive flesh-eating lava from within the Earth's core.
Sparing but effective horror sci-fi with low-key special effects but a good assemblage of actors and situations to put the horror across, patterned after the success of Quatermass.
