What they share

Both films are directed by Terence Fisher, and they both carry the dread, late night mood tags, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Hound of the Baskervilles, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Night of the Big Heat is

Fara Island. Midwinter. The pub’s dartboard. A bizarre heatwave spikes thermometers, flummoxing locals and weather-watchers alike. Only a reticent scientist understands the otherworldly source. Fisher reliably yanks dread from the familiar.
