VHS Movie Reviews of Quatermass & The Pit (Ws Spec) [VHS]

Movie Review: Quatermass and the Pit
Summary: 4 Stars

I remember watching this movie as a young kid back in the 60's and thought it had a good story line and believable actors and for the period the special effects were rather good. I think I even had a crush on Barbara Shelley. I managed to tape it on VHS years ago and would like to purchase it on dvd...but for $136 new????..forget it...even used copies are way too much. I guess I just have to wait or make sure my old vcr doesn't eat my tape.

Summary of Quatermass & The Pit (Ws Spec) [VHS]

We have met the enemy, and it is us: when a Martian spacecraft with a terrifying link to the origins of humanity is unearthed beneath a London tube station, only the esteemed Professor Bernard Quatermass (a very British--and possibly mad--precursor to Mulder and Scully) can save London's suddenly murderous population from itself. One of the most intelligently paranoid science fiction films ever produced, this pessimistic masterpiece functions as a dark flip side to the relatively optimistic alien-induced evolution theory presented in the later 2001: A Space Odyssey. Nigel Kneale's brilliant script (which posits a surprisingly plausible, otherworldly rationale for the existence of the supernatural) was later appropriated by acknowledged fan John Carpenter for his underrated Prince of Darkness. In addition to boasting a flawless widescreen print, this marvelous tape also features a hilariously overdone original U.S. trailer ("Women will be defiled by the invaders from outer space!" it erroneously shrieks). A must-see for horror and science fiction aficionados. This film is also known as Five Million Years to Earth. --Andrew Wright
