Quatermass and the Pit(1967)
An alien spaceship is discovered buried beneath a London subway station, but it's protected by an energy field which unleashes a terrifying monster on the streets of the city. For more about Quatermass and the Pit and the Quatermass and the Pit Blu-ray release, see the Quatermass and the Pit Blu-ray Review Starring: Andrew Keir, Barbara Shelley, Julian Glover, Duncan Lamont, James Donald Director: Roy Ward Baker » See full cast & crew Quatermass and the Pit Blu-ray, Video QualityPresented in its original aspect ratio of 1.66:1, encoded with MPEG-AVC and granted a 1080p transfer, Roy Ward Baker's Quatermass and the Pit arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of British distributors Optimum Home Entertainment. Having recently undergone a full digital restoration, Quatermass and the Pit looks mighty impressive. In fact, I would argue that it is as impressive as many of the best restorations we have seen via the Criterion Collection in Region-A land, and certainly on par with the rest of the classic films Optimum Home Entertainment and Studio Canal have released on Blu-ray this year - Ice Cold in Alex, The Cruel Sea, Whisky Galore!, Went The Day Well?, The Lavender Hill Mob, The Man Who Fell to Earth and Kind Hearts and Coronets. There are various details and textures that are simply missing from the R1 DVD release of the film (I don't have a R2 DVD to compare). Contrast levels are stable and clarity also dramatically improved even during the darkest scenes (see screencapture #19). Color reproduction is also very pleasing, with colors consistently looking fresh and well saturated. Edge-enhancement is not a serious issue of concern. There are no artifacts and banding issues either. I also did not see any traces of severe denoising. Naturally, there is plenty of grain which is well resolved, though occasionally mixed with light noise. Blown through a digital projector, the image also remains tight around the edges, never pulsating or showing signs of wear. All in all, this is an excellent restoration which I am convinced will please fans of Quatermass and the Pit. (Note: This is a Region-B "locked" Blu-ray disc. Therefore, you must have a native Region-B or Region-Free PS3 or SA in order to access its content). Quatermass and the Pit Blu-ray, Audio QualityThere is only one audio track on this Blu-ray disc: English LPCM 2.0. For the record, Optimum Home Entertainment have provided optional English SDH subtitles for the main feature. The audio has been optimized as best possible. Unsurprisingly, the vibrations, the spaceships defensive mechanism, and the chaos during the final third of the film really make an impression. I honestly think that a lot of people will be surprised to discover how mighty potent the English LPCM 2.0 track is. There is some outstanding depth the loseless track brings, which is not even suggested on the R1 DVD. Unsurprisingly, the dialog is exceptionally clean, crisp, stable, and easy to follow.
