Night Of The Big Heat [Blu-ray]

A great film plenty of action full of suspense creepy music watching the people’s faces show fear as death approaches them. Of course compared to today’s computer imagining it is pathetic film, but for it’s area a great film a good family film too.
However. I remember one evening back in about 1955-56 with my mum and sister watching a creepy play on an old 12 inch black & white up right TV. It was called the same name as this film, and about aliens who invaded the earth via radio waves I think. The one thing that sticks in my mind was as a door slowly creep ed open a hand like object slide into view. just at that moment a slight wind blew in to our house and made the passage door creek and either opened or shut but it made all of us jump out of our skin loll. The film was soon made just after that play. i was around 10 or 11 years old.
As I said a brilliant film for it’s area mid 50’s good acting to by Peter Cushing, Christoper Lee, Patrick Allen, mediocre performance by Jane Merrow but other than that i once again say a great film to watch.

Despite the many negative views I have read about NOTBH, I have to say that I think it is a great 1960’s film. The film has the greats of British cinema – Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Patrick Allen, which is a major plus. The story is about an island off the British coast that suddenly experiences a heat wave in the dead of winter. The action is mainly within the local pub and one of the residents believes it is caused by an alien invasion. I actually rate this film as one of my favourites and I am well please with the quality of the Blu-ray. I bought the DVD some years ago but the quality was a bit too washed out and required the brightness to be turned down. They have thankfully restored it to a far better quality and I can enjoy it again and again. Great stuff.
