Quatermass and the Pit

England Andrew Keir

Nifty sci-fi film from 1967. Workers extending a subway line encounter an alien spaceship which had been buried for 5 million years.

Intelligent script with some nice ideas, good cast, cartoon bad guys representing authority (they never see the truth until it's too late), lickety split pacing which escalates in excitement level as it races along.

BEM (bug-eyed monster) flick made by and for adults. Watta concept.
