About Night of the Big Heat
While mainland Britain shivers in deepest winter, the northern island of Fara bakes in the nineties, and the boys at the Met station have no more idea what is going on than the regulars at the Swan. Only a stand-offish visting scientist realizes space aliens are to blame.
Directed by Terence Fisher, Night of the Big Heat leans on a strong ensemble — Christopher Lee, Patrick Allen, Peter Cushing — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about science fiction titles of 1967.
