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.

Viewing Notes
Found another unseen Terence Fisher! Sadly it’s not v good. Reminded me a lot of the creeping flesh flick, Island of Terror (1966) with the weird alien creatures, also directed by Fisher. When the credits started and saw both Christopher Lee *and* Peter Cushing I got real excited. Lee is fun as the asshole scientist and Cushing was probably around the set so he just sat in for a couple of scenes. Neither do much to propel the film but they at least make it more watchable.
The premise is fine but feels like it was all budget restricted.
