The third and final story of Quatermass by writer Nigel Kneale and directed by Roy Ward Baker. A Hammer favourite telling the story of an excavation in a London underground tube station that discovers primitive skeletal remains alongside what appears to be an unexploded World War ll missile. Scientists and the army clash as to what it actually is, with the scientists leaning more towards extra terrestrial visitors rather than German warefare. Forgiving some effects due to its age, this is still a great film. Creepy and unsettling in places, but ultimately thought provoking and totally original.
