I keep looking for it but, can't find it on DVD at a price I can afford. Sigh. I want to see it again so bad. It really is that good.

The story involved humans being mutated, and "race memory" and place names-- Hobb's End--and it is one of the best SF films I've ever seen, certainly one of the most thought-provoking.<br /><br />1967! Great stuff from Nigel Kneale! (Not to forget Barbara Shelley was in it too! It had everything!) <br /><br />In fact, from 1967 "Quartermass and the Pit" to 2012 "Prometheus" is kind of a step down, even if the special effects are infintely better. What's happened to us?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277564562398563302noreply@blogger.com
