Qatermass and the Pit aka - 5 Million Years to EARTH a Classic british Sci Fi that set a standard for well thought out science fiction plots of that era. "We have met the enemy, and it is us" when an Ancient Martian spacecraft with a terrifying link to the origins of humanity is unearthed beneath a London tube station undergoing extensions, only the esteemed Professor Bernard Quatermass can save London's suddenly murderous population from itself, an unseen force eminating from the buried craft has influenced the thoughts and wills of those in the population that are genetically suseptible. One of the most intelligently paranoid science fiction films ever produced, Nigel Kneale's brilliant script (a surprisingly plausible, otherworldly rationale for the existence of the supernatural). A must-see for horror and science fiction aficionados. This film is also known as Five Million Years to Earth. Quatermass and the Pit DVD is a surprizingly well done piece of Sci Fi drama for the time, or indeed for any time, very clever use of concepts, and designs of space craft, the involvement of propaganda weapons through the war etc. bring an extremely realistic view of a strange situation and the rammifications that may follow.
