Was listening to audio commentary on my fabulous new box set of “Space:1999” and mention was made of a connection thematically between “Exorcist II: The Heretic” and “Quatermass and the Pit” and having watched both since, “EII” does seem to borrow concepts on a scale that seems far from co-incidental. The locust motif, a thought-transferance thingy, possession by demonic grasshoppers, implosions and city-wide destruction featuring a giant grasshopper invading the city. Even the relationship between the 2 lead investigators in both films is similar. Any thoughts?
