It is a pity that the DVD for Five Million Years to Earth is so ridiculously expensive. A Hammer film that costs more than most Criterion collection, fancy that.
Oddly enough, though the special effects were not as good, there is a lot of love for the original four part BBC series, Quatermass and the Pit. Because it was much longer, they were able to build up the mood and some say it was one of the best BBC productions ever made.
Fortunately, they preserved it and it has been restored.
