Curiosidades
Escapement is a 1958 British horror science fiction film directed by Montgomery Tully and David Paltenghi. The screenplay was by Charles Eric Maine based on his 1956 novel of the same title.
Production
Producer Richard Gordon later said there were major problems with the film's special effects. He also said that he had a dispute with Anglo-Amalgamated, who did not want the movie to get an X certificate in England, whereas Gordon wanted more horror for the US. Most of Anglo's films were crime oriented but this had some science fiction aspects.
The film's electronic music soundtrack is credited to Soundrama with John Simmons as consultant and Robert Taylor as music director.
