even a low-budget film like "X the Unknown" (1956), which is itself kind of a ripoff of a related sci-fi series called "Quatermass," has as its conceit the notion of differential evolution and the return to the surface of the earth of life-forms which operate on different principles of energy absorption than terrestrial creatures.

it struck me that these ideas would probably be considered too complex to convey to a mainstream film audience in 2018.

Cr

Although the Quatermass movies were written by Nigel Kneale, who was one of the more cerebral figures in mid century British sci-fi and horror

1956 was the same year that Forbidden Planet came out. that was another high-concept sci-fi film.

Yeah, an adaptation of The Tempest that cribs from Sigmund Freud
