Movie Reviews

CineVue - 10/10 by Joseph WalshThe mixture of classic horror and sci-fi blends extraordinarily well -- think Edgar Allen Poe meets H.G. Wells, dipped in 1960s psychedelia.
New York Times - 9/10 by Renata AdlerAll of its pseudo-scientific talk seemed to short-circuit the audience's interest -- in it and in themselves.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeMethodical in its pacing, building a level of dread with a payoff that fully justifies that atmosphere.
Variety - 7/10 by Variety StaffRoutine, somewhat distended development blunts impact of this British-made programmer.
Little White Lies - 6/10 by David JenkinsEasy to dismiss as camp folly, but you really shouldn't.
Radio Times - 6/10 by David ParkinsonAs well as providing a generous helping of shocks, Kneale's script gives his complex themes and theories plenty of space...
User Review - 10/10 by Terri Hthe best science fiction movie ever made as far as i can remember, yup nothing else springs to mind
User Review - 10/10 by Stuart YA good film, but I much prefer the BBC version, which is a shame, because Andrew Keir who now plays our hero Professor Quatermass, is a lot better than Donlevyâ??s. This is a good spooky story, with the devil, and demons thrown in to the mix, alongside an alien spaceship found in one of Londonâ??s underground station called Hobbâ??s End. Both versions are basically give and take, I prefer the movie version of the ship, because the BBCâ??s ship looks like a giant steel cock, and then towards the end of the show, a glowing melting johnny. The discovery of the aliens inside the ship, however, is a lot better in the BBC version, than it is in the movie version. Apart from all the niggles, this is still a good version of the series, with a lot better casting of Quatermass, and is still well worth seeing, which you can get on itâ??s own or part of the Hammer collection 21 disc box set. Hobbs End is a mysterious village in John Carpenterâ??s In The Mouth of Madness, which Carpenter has said that Nigel Kneale was an inspiration to him at an early age.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThis is an amazing script which is not matched by its execution, But it is still one of my favourite films.
User Review - 10/10 by Richard DA really enjoyable piece of British shock-sci-fi that cleverly mixes horror, science and alien invasion into 60's Britain. Actually it feels more like 50's Britain as there are no 'hippies' or Bless This House deocr in the film at all, which gives the film a more timeless setting and appeal - and why it has dated so well. When scientists find remains of humans as well as a spaceship underneath an underground station, strange things start to happen. Is the spaceship and its strange alien creatures part of an invasion fleet or did the 'martians' have more of an impact into human development than we might like to think. Quatermass and the Pit cleverly manages to go beyond just an alien storyline and questions human origins. Some of the effects do look a bit dodgy, but the storyline and great script more than make up for it. I especially enjoyed the performance of Andrew Kier who played Quatermass. The ending was superb as you didn't quite know which way things were going to go. Great stuff.
