Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Because of the strong sexual implications of the French title, some distributors added several graphic sex scenes in order to exploit that feature in the French adult film circuit. None of the original cast and crew were credited in that version apart from Jane Merrow and Sarah Lawson who were both doubled for the additional scenes. more
Goofs:
Continuity: The islanders in the pub turn off all the lights so as not to attract the aliens. In the next scene the lights are on. more

Why don't they make them like this any more?, 1 June 1999

Okay, so the monsters look like badly fried eggs, and the scientific explanation of their arrival is pretty laughable, but still, you just can't beat the rural-island-in-peril formula! The acting in this is pretty good, and the characters seem to have a great deal of depth (cf Peter Cushing's role.). It's a pity that the British film industry gave up on a cult and, in my opinion, enjoyable series of horror flicks. "Island Of Terror" being another example of this genre...
