   Quatermass and the Pit (1967) is seen as the high watermark of Hammer's science fiction output. A belated follow-up to their two 1950s Quatermass films, themselves based on a hugely successful BBC TV series penned by Nigel Kneale, the film works better as a standalone story than as a direct sequel.

   Does Quatermass and the pit have a plot hole?

   • Quatermass and the Pit has plot holes, especially the final scene. Even a writer who declared repeatedly that he hated science fiction (Nigel Kneale) shouldn’t have got some of that wrong. However, Quatermass and the Pit has some definite redeeming features. There is at least one black guy; this was progress.

   What is the difference between Quatermass and the pit & conclusion?

   • Quatermass and the Pit (1958) = Five Million Years To Earth (1967), with the latter rebadged as Quatermass and the Pit (1967) Quatermass (1979) = The Quatermass Conclusion (1979); these are not identical but the ‘Conclusion’ appears to be a cut-down version of the TV series made for a cinematic release. Because cutting a story works so very well.

   Is Quatermass and the pit a good movie?

   • Quatermass and the Pit melds science fiction with metaphysics, superstition and mythology. Mostly it’s done well, especially for its era and considering that the movie is intended as horror. Very mild horror by today’s standards. Think Doctor Who, which is a family show. Quatermass and the Pit has plot holes, especially the final scene.
