Quatermass... and the pit...

Warning: Spoilers
I saw the Quatermass Xperiment and Quatermass II on two consecutive nights, but it took me awhile to find this movie. Now that I watched it, I don't really know if there's a connection between the first two movies and this one; except the main character.

If you have watched the first two films, you could try to anticipate what you can expect. But I was rather surprised while watching this movie.

Miners uncover a strange aircraft while digging a new railway station. Quatermass rushes to the scene and comes up with a theory about aliens and selective abduction of our early ancestors for scientific reasons. All rubbish according to the military officers. Then some strange phenomena occur. What exactly is going on here...?

This movie is very strange at times. I liked it, for it has it's moments. The acting isn't bad, the effects are okay and the story develops in a nice, steady pace. Slowly telling us what happened and what is about to happen. The climax at the end of the movie starts interesting, but ends a little... dumb.

So in conclusion, Quatermass and the Pit is a strange, but enjoyable movie. If you liked the first two movies, I say go watch this one too.
