Review of Quatermass and the Pit (1967) by James M — 28 Feb 2014
Considering this movie is nearly 50 years old the production values are incredibly impressive, especially for a Hammer movie.
The story started off incredibly promisingly, based on a TV serial by Nigel Kneale. Ancient artefacts are found underneath a London Underground station during tunnel works and a mysterious spacecraft is also unearthed which the army are convinced is a German missile from WWII. Professor Quatermass however is convinced that it's origins are far more occult.
The story began quite intriguing but started to flag around the hour mark. Still worth watching for fans of Hammer, but I probably wouldn't watch it twice.
