	DVD REVIEW: QUARTERMASS AND THE PIT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		First and foremost is the running audio commentary by director Roy Ward Baker and writer Nigel Kneale that was recorded last year.
		Kneale jumps right in with his thoughts, while Baker, who must be up there in age, requires a little prodding to get started.
		I like this chats because the film maker's have an opportunity to discuss how they made the film, yet Baker is reluctant to discuss the special effects because he says it ruins the illusion.

	... And Now the Screaming Starts! (1973)
		And thereafter Baker gives a whole kitchen sink arsenal of crawling hands, lurking eyeless figures, sinister retainers popping up from behind graves, the husband turning up with bloodied hands, superimposed hands reaching for maids and causing them to fall down the stairs and so on.
		Baker contrarily spells it all out with thudding over-emphasis and leaves nothing to the imagination.
		The actual rape is barely even shown, the woman being seen no further naked than a brief glimpse of a bare bottom as she runs from the bath, and the hand severing effect is weak and unconvincing.

		With direction from Roy Ward Baker (THE VAMPIRE LOVERS) and a sweeping lush musical score by David Whitaker, this is an enjoyable ride.
		Partly this is to the credit of Roy Ward Baker, but mostly it is due to the inspired playing of Ralph Bates and his female counterpart Martine Beswicke, each of them looking glorious and evil in what has become the signature role in both careers.
		Listening to Ward Baker, Brian Clemens and Martine on the commentary track makes you realize how much was lost first by Ralph Bates' curtailed career, then by his death.

		Roy Ward Baker's snappy direction compliments everything nicely.
		Sure, the film has plot holes everywhere, but director Roy Ward Baker focuses on the story and keeps it moving well with a few interesting (and humorous) romantic subplots.
		Directed by Hammer regular Roy Ward Baker "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde", really represents the last flowering of the creative elements of Hammer Studios in the early 1970's.

		Baker layers on all of the standard ingredients for a properly gothic horror tale: flickering candelabras, a dangerous woodsman, howling wolves, spooky old paintings, and a fog-shrouded cemetery.
		Not one of Roy Ward Baker's tautest works thematically, it is however a wondrously lush film that never looks low-budget.

	Mappa.Mundi Magazine - Reviews - Quatermass and the Pit
		Roy Ward Baker’s Quatermass and the Pit was made, like 2001, in the UK, but as a modest Hammer feature based on a popular British science fiction television series of a decade earlier.
		Since Dr Quatermass, the hero of both the TV series and the movie, was unknown to American audiences, it was released in the USA as Five Million Years to Earth, where prospective viewers were wooed with a hilariously lurid trailer that is included on this DVD release.
		Cities in flames!” But even here, and in what is left unsaid at the conclusion, the ingeniousness of the movie’s premise, and the force with which Kneale and Baker develop it, keep it firmly on track.

		Just as well then, that Roy Ward Baker is on good form during his chat with Stephanie Beacham.
		While Beacham coyly refuses to answer many questions ("I'll leave that to Peter Cushing to discuss," is her response to the moderator's musing about the film's Freudian undercurrents), she decides instead to prompt her former director's memory with a series of her own questions.
		Clearly still rather enamoured with his young star, Roy Ward Baker is only too keen to keep her happy.

		On his return to the cinema in 1967, billed as Roy Ward Baker, he no longer seemed the same director, and indeed directed entirely different kinds of subjects, mainly horror films.

	Amazon.com: Vampire Lovers (1970) : Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		"The Vampire Lovers," directed by Roy Ward Baker in 1970, is the first in the Karnstein trilogy of Hammer films, all based quite loosely on Joseph Sheridan LeFanu's story "Carmilla." The Karnsteins are a clan of vampires, represented in this version by a bunch of scantily clad women.
		Directed with gusto by Roy Ward Baker, I believe it is an excellent effort full of lavish production values, rich colour and an exciting story that for once is not tied in with the Dracula Legend.
		It is obvious that a lot of care and attention was poured into this story and it is definately one of the finest of the later Hammer efforts.

	A Night to Remember . The Boston Phoenix . 03-23-98
		(It's not even the first movie named Titanic -- that would be Hollywood's 1953 fictionalized version of the disaster starring Clifton Webb and Barbara Stanwyck.) Based on the Walter Lord bestseller, Roy Ward Baker's A Night To Remember (1958) tells the story in sober, almost documentary fashion.
		The Brattle is showing it Oscar afternoon and evening so you can compare it with this year's likely Best Film.
		Don't expect Baker's movie to blow Cameron's out of the water -- for all the meticulous detail, this Night is almost as confusing as the real one must have been.

		If you are a fan of the modern American slashers such as Scream, you will most probably give this short shrift, but if you love a good old scary piece of British horror you will not be disappointed.
		The ensemble cast is equally impressive, with the likes of Tom Baker, Denholm Elliot and the late Terry Thomas giving good performances.
		Terry Thomas excells as usual, whilst Tom Baker turns in a deranged (in a good way!) performance as a modern artist.

		An intriguing and original take on a classic story, DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE is a enjoyably atmospheric thriller.
