Night of the Big Heat
Night of the Big Heat was the final collaboration between Christopher
Lee, Peter Cushing and legendary director Terence Fisher. A freak heatwave sends
the temperature soaring on the remote island of Fara. The locals, including Dr
Vernon Stone (Peter Cushing) and novelist Jeffrey Callum (Patrick Allen), are
left dazed by the rising temperature. When Callum is reunited with his former
mistress Angela Roberts (Jane Merrow), the atmosphere becomes even more tense.
It falls to Godfrey Hanson (Christopher Lee), another visitor to the island, to
solve the mystery. The unbearable temperature is the result of a heat ray
directed towards the island by creatures from another planet. As the spearhead
of their invasion force materialises, the surviving humans are left at the mercy
of the unstoppable aliens...
