Oct 19 11 9:52 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was in Shere village in Surrey today, where most of this was shot. All the locations are more or less the same. Only the petrol pump area is now missing. I went in the pub and it looks like it was actually filmed inside as well.. The bar is in the same place and the corridor where the dead hotel man was dragged away from his desk is still there. When you look out of the window you look out on to the village square and up to the church as in the film. The shop where Thorley Walters comes out of is now a gift shop. Anyone passing that way should stop off at this really nice little village. Lots of ramblers about but no robots.

Their house was where the crashed car was and where the two robots walked around the car and down in to the ally. After the pub, I went back over to the alley to see if they were still around but they had gone inside by then. Missed my chance this time ! The shop where Willard Parker goes in to to get the radio at the start of the film is up for sale if anyone wants some film history. Only £826,000. Lots of listed buildings around there !

Thanks for the posts, T. I was a Christmas party in Covent Garden once and realised it was the pub used for Hitchcocks FRENZY. The pics on the wall were the Givaway!When I asked the barman if he'd been there during filming, all he'd offer was a sniffy comment that the Master was a regular partaker of the treble creme de menthe.

The zombies were terrifying and the robots,although cheesy looking to start grew on you! Shame we never saw anything of their masters or found out what happened to our heroes after the adventure. It's still not too late.... JVH

These old UK sci-fi movies,like this,Quatermass and the Damned movies are becoming favorites of mine. Although I'm a fan of a lot of American classic sci-fi,they seem slightly more juvenile than their British counterparts. Does anyone else sense this too? But then again,I've always had this fascination with England. That could be it too. I was very disappointed with a lot of the negative comments posted from the You-tube boobs (members) about this movie. Why watch a movie if you know you're not going to like it? Their negative criticisms were unfounded once I saw the movie. A very well written,acted and atmospheric movie.
