Audience Member An unusual one for the Lee/Cushing team. Pretty terrible but of academic interest if you are into these old films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite the obvious shortcomings this is a good slice of 60's British sci fi. An island is suffering a heatwave whilst mainland Britain shivers because of an alien life force. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent mystery-horror with solid enough performances for the genre. It probably should be a cult film but it has probably the fastest conclusion to getting rid of the ever present horror I've ever seen - which is ultimately a disappointment. It borrows from 'War Of The Worlds' with its storyline. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Strange happenings on Fara--Lee & Cushing sweat it out!! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a hilarious little horror about nothing, the "aliens" are seen only briefly at the end. For many reasons it reminds me strongly of "Island of Terror" although that one was more enjoyable. Still its pretty much fun to see Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Patrick Allen sweating so much to make something out of the weak story. Definitely for hardcore fans. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic Sci Fi from 1967, good story, great acting, and a host of top actors, the only criticism is the sweat was a little OTT, but its a great film, Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
