i can not believe it . if you tell me that a film cast with both the huge talent of christopher lee and peter cushing and direct by the great terence fisher be bad and i would never have believe it . watch this film and you will become an instant believer . this film suck . i have trouble sit through it and and i be pretty good through just about any kind of film . the film premise be about an island be over run with alien that slowly and then quickly heat up an island off the coast of great britain during the winter . temperature rise and people be fry after hear somewhizzing sound and and finally the much anticipate and very disappointing fry egg look alien appear . while all this be go on and we be privy to a love triangle at an inn between a real annoying author and play by a very smug patrick allen and and his newly arrive and very attractive secretary and play by jane merrow ( who incidentally really look good in a two piece swimsuit ) and and his wife play by sarah lawson . you would not care much about their love life or their life in general . peter cushing have a small role a a doctor and christopher lee try to single handedly save the picture with one of his very officious and obnoxious portrayal of a scientist that know an awful lot and have to spout this scientific drivel to other character so the audience will have some idea of what be go on . lee give a good performance for the most part and but even in the scene where he be explain thing he look unconvinced by the dialogue . planet film production produce the film and it show . have hammer or amicus be give the film and much more could have be do with it . poor fisher directs with a very small budget and his directorial style be best describe a tiring and labor . if you be a cushing and lee and or fisher completist i recommend the film and but beyond that save your time for something that good utilize the talent at hand here .
