Val Guest

Five days ago, Val Guest died. He was the director of such notable films as The Quatermass Xperiment and The Abomidable Snowman (surely one of the few good Yeti movies.)

His works didn't have much impact on me a child, (unlike, say Roy Ward Baker), but as an adult I found the science fiction movies he directed to be most excellent. He had a talent for the craft that, while not as flashy or as deep as some, still rang true.
