Quatermass and the Pit1967

Horror Vault's take

When construction work beneath a London Underground station uncovers something that defies easy explanation, Professor Quatermass and a team of scientists find themselves confronting questions that stretch far beyond archaeology. The object at the centre of the dig appears to exert a strange and disturbing influence on those who come near it, blurring the line between rational inquiry and primal terror. Rooted in bold ideas about humanity's deepest past, this Hammer production builds its horror through atmosphere and intellect rather than cheap shocks. Few British genre films of its era reach quite this level of ambition.
