A scorching picture from 1967, Night of the Big Heat is a sweat-inducing shocker based on the 1957 novel from John Lymington. The remote island of Fara is experiencing a stifling heat wave in the middle of winter, causing life, as the locals know it, to come to a halt. Tensions rise as the heat increases plus a high-pitched tone of unknown origin is incinerating the villagers. Directed by Hammer favourite, Terence Fisher and starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee alongside chisel jawed Patrick Allen, Night of the Big Heat is sizzling British sci-fi at its most intense.

Night of the Big Heat (1967)
94 min
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.
