Quatermass and the Pit
(1967)
Directed by Roy Ward
Baker this film based on the television series of the same name stars
James Donald, Andrew Keir and Barbara Shelley. Workmen digging at a
London underground station find lots of bodies and a strange metal
craft from millions of years ago.
This whole film comes
off like a cheap knock off of a classic Doctor Who episode but with
out an enigmatic Doctor Who to hold the thing together. Character
development is pretty much non existent as we plunge into a plot full
of hogwash about aliens from Mars. Where the film really falls down
though is in the special effects which at times are beyond cheap and
really do not hold together.
2/5
