Synopsis
Army radiation experiments awaken a subterranean monster from a fissure that feeds on energy and proceeds to terrorise a remote Scottish village. An American research scientist at a nearby nuclear plant joins with a British investigator to discover why the victims were radioactively burned and why, shortly thereafter, a series of radiation-related incidents are occurring in an ever-growing straight line away from the fissure.

And yet another classic film in its best version on the Internet. This movie was supposed to be within the Quatermass franchise but never was. Excellent work Mr. Fergus.
