Quatermass And The Pit. 1967.
While digging for a extension to a London Underground Tunnel, the diggers come across something hidden that is believed to be a alien spaceship.
This is an example of Hammer at its finest, the early scenes with the alien aircraft in the pit are very good and the film holds the attention throughout. With limited resources at hand the director, Roy Ward Baker, directs some great scenes, weird and strange and chilling, brought on with some great acting by Julian Glover, Barbara Shelley, Andrew Keir and James Donald. The effects may be outdated but still works like a charm, it does take a while for things to begin but the build up of atmosphere is certainly there throughout the whole film.
