nick s @Nick_S Jan 13 A movie that took the "don't show the shark" philosophy a step too far. Oh no, it's... it's... argghhh! All the viewer sees are reaction shots until the very end. Then the final reveal is a real fizzer. But this is such an awesome cast it's hard not to watch. There were hints of a great movie in the character interactions & I wish they'd made anything but this sci fi shlock. See more 04/11/2016 An unusual one for the Lee/Cushing team. Pretty terrible but of academic interest if you are into these old films. See more 01/14/2016 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. See more 01/13/2016 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. See more 03/12/2014 Strange happenings on Fara--Lee & Cushing sweat it out!! See more 02/02/2013 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. See more Read all reviews
