Review of Quatermass And The Pit (DVD) by ThePolarOne

Advantages: Atmospheric story
Disadvantages: Dated effects

Quatermass and the Pit (1967) When thinking of films, for most 'Hammer' will mean Horror. But many fondly remember one of their science fiction off shoots in the Quatermass films. Quatermass was originally a British television series in 1953, called The Quatermass Experiment.

Review of Quatermass And The Pit (DVD) by Plissken

Advantages: Scary Cheap-o horror, surprisingly intelligent.
Disadvantages: The effects aren't exactly Industrial Light & Magic

Suspecting it to be an unexploded bomb, the military are called in. Professor Quatermass also arrives to give his opinion. As more of the object is uncovered, neanderthal skeletons are also discovered around it. Despite its obvious extra-terrestial qualities, ... Read review

Truly a classic of horror/sci-fi.
Review of Quatermass And The Pit (DVD) by WoodsM_UK

Advantages: Enjoyably silly plot.
Disadvantages: Need to be a lover of the horror/sci-fi genres.

...par for Hammer Horror. Professor Quatermass himself (Andrew Keir) and the very easy-on-the-eye Barbara Judd (Barbara Shelley) stand out and provide very believable performances. This is impressive in a plot which requires a very healthy dose of "suspension of disbelief". Even with special effects limited by the age of the filming and an obviously tiny budget this manages to be worth a watch at least once by lovers of the two genres. Give it a go. ... Read review
