Description: Further DetailsTitle: Quatermass and the Pit [1967]Condition: NewDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Hobbs End, Knightsbridge, London. Whilst working on a new subway tunnel for the London Underground a group of construction workers uncover a strangely shaped skull amongst the rubble. Nearby is another discovery: a large, mysterious and impenetrable metal object. Initially mistaken for an unexploded bomb the origins of the object and its strange power are far more horrific and terrifying than anybody could have possibly imagined. Is it of this earth? Could it be the ancestral link to mankind’s evolution? Or could it be an ancient link to unleashing ultimate evil? There’s only one man capable of unravelling the clues, his name is Professor Bernard Quatermass, a man of science who thrives on the dark mysteries of the world, a man with answers. Written by legendary screenwriter Nigel Kneale, Quatermass and The Pit is a seminal British sci-fi classic. Highly influential, it’s renowned for its creepy plot and eerie, disturbing atmosphere. There is nothing else like it. Featuring cover art by Olly Moss Special Features include: * New UK exclusive interviews with Julian Glover, Mark Gatiss, Judith Kerr, Kim Newman and Marcus Hearn * Audio commentary with Nigel Kneale and Roy Ward Baker * World of Hammer – Sci-Fi Episode * UK and US trailers * Interview with Joe Dante FROM 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. A must-see for horror and science-fiction aficionados. --Andrew Wright,Format: Blu-rayDirector: Roy Ward BakerGenre: HorrorsNo Of Discs: 2Run Time: 98 minutesRelease Date: 10/10/2011Studio: StudioCanalSubtitle Language: EnglishEAN: 5055201815569Region Code: Region BTopic: Sci-Fi & FantasyLanguage: English, EnglishRating: 12Country/Region of Manufacture: United KingdomActor: Peter Copley, Julian Glover, Duncan Lamont, June Ellis, Roger Avon, Keith Marsh, Bryan Marshall, Edwin Richfield, Charles Lamb, Hugh Manning, Bee Duffell, Sheila Steafel, Noel Howlett, Hugh Futcher, Thomas Heathcote, Grant Taylor, Robert Morris, Maurice Good, James Donald, Andrew Keir, Barbara ShelleyMPN: OPTBD0631Release Year: 2011 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
