Product Description

Product Description

Based on a story by Doctor Who legend Robert Holmes, Public Eye creator Roger Marshall scripts this cult sci-fi thriller from Merton Park studios. Starring Edward Judd memorably powerful in The Day the Earth Caught Fire actor/writer Lyndon Brook and oriental beauty Yoko Tani, this brilliantly entertaining gem from 1965 is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.

Routine tests on a traffic accident victim lead to shocking discoveries when the man's blood is found to be unidentifiable and x-rays reveal a disc embedded in his brain. His fabulous tale of being an escaped prisoner from an alien spaceship takes a turn for the sinister when the hospital staff realise that they're under a state of siege...

4.0 out of 5 starsAnd don't miss the title of the soldier's paperback...
By Matthew Mercy on 19 Jun. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Unavailable on UK home video since the early 1990s and now a long-overdue Region 2 DVD release, Invasion (1966) belongs in that select sub-genre of low budget British science fiction movies which also includes the likes of Village of the Damned (1960) and The Earth Dies Screaming (1964), films whose small-scale action takes place in a remote location, focusing on a select group of imperilled characters, and which tell a creepy story in moody black-and-white.
This effort (from a story by future Doctor Who writer Robert Holmes, and directed by Alan Bridges, who is better known for his later 'troubles of the aristocracy' dramas like The Hireling and The Shooting Party) centres on the staff at a rural hospital that inadvertently ends up playing host to an extraterrestrial criminal who escapes from his captors after their shuttle lands in the Home Counties. Edward Judd (Island of Terror) and Tsai Chin (The Face of Fu Manchu) are amongst the medical team trying to uncover the truth about their mysterious new visitor, whilst Barrie Ingham (best known as the voice of Disney's Basil, the Great Mouse Detective) is an army officer baffled when his routine manoeuvres in the countryside are interrupted by the unexpected presence of an invisible, impenetrable force field...
There are several aspects of this Merton Park-shot bill-filler that leave the viewer in no doubt that it was made under the obvious financial constraints typical of a B-movie from the period.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsfor anyone like me who enjoys a solid plot oozing 60s atmosphere/values ...
By Silver Spirit on 27 Nov. 2014
Format: DVD
Long overdue, this DVD release will replace my 'taped off the telly' VHS recording. This is a moderate budget film but boasts plenty of 'Edgar Wallace Mysteries' atmosphere which lifts the film above its weight, not surprising being produced by the same production team as Edgar Wallace - Merton Park studios.
Shot in eerie black and white which adds to the atoms, for anyone like me who enjoys a solid plot oozing 60s atmosphere/values from each frame you can't go wrong with this taut British sci-fi thriller. Bring back the good old B-movie!

5.0 out of 5 starsFascinating Alan Bridges film...
By C. FULLER TOP 50 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 7 Nov. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Very pleased with the picture quality and the sound is clear but like many many DVD releases you have to turn the volume up. The film itself is fascinating and an early work of director Alan Bridges who also directed Act of Murder for the same studios. Great value for such a good copy.

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful British 'B' grade sci-fi movie
By PJL on 22 Nov. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Wonderful British 'B' grade sci-fi movie. I am a fan of this kind of thing and I have for years eagerly awaited a DVD release of this film which has long been a favourite of mine. It is a bit 'talky' and the pace is somewhat sluggish, but this is true of so many films of this kind and for me it is all part of the charm. The widescreen picture is as good as one could expect for a vintage film and the sound is fine if unremarkable.

Another excellent release of a rather obscure gem from Network. If you are familiar with and enjoy films such as 'The Night Caller', 'Island of Terror' and 'Night of the Big Heat' then you will be in good hands with this one. If you don't know it then give it a whirl - for the asking price you really can't go wrong!

3.0 out of 5 starsThe Last of the B-Movies
By R. Chapman on 11 Dec. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The final feature from Merton Park Productions, who produced scores of wonderful supporting features over a twenty-year period.
While not perhaps their finest, it is a more than decent effort, with good acting and photography (and far better than the rather cheesy poster would suggest), following in the wake of Quatermass, before science fiction found a home in television.
All praise to Network for giving us an opportunity to see these films (even if large chucks of the British film heritage has been sold to the French Canal plus and is now leased back to us) and if there are anymore left in the vaults please release them as soon as possible as there is an enthusiastic audience eager for them.

5.0 out of 5 starsWelcome release for a great little film.
By Iain McClumpha on 5 Nov. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
First saw this in the 80s and it instantly became one of my favourite films... and viewing it on DVD for the first time it's still a wonderful film.
So it doesn't have a mega budget... it has a tight storyline, excellent acting and good direction. Edward Judd can do no wrong and this film shows what an underated actor he really was. Barrie Ingham is also excellent as the army Major. Tsai Chin gives a great performance as a nurse who just happens to be Chinese... a fact which is really quite important to the story, so not just a token Asian face in the crowd.
Japanese actress Yoko Tani plays the Lystrian leader as a strange, almost etherial woman... and it works, although how Sister mistook her for Nurse Lim is anyone's guess.

This is also an important film for UK TV as it laid down the format that would eventually be adapoted by Doctor Who in the 1970s... with the soldiers being replaced by UNIT, and the Major by Briagadier Lethbridge-Stewart.
It's also no coincidence that Robert Holmes wrote the story (not the screenplay) and would use elements of it in Jon Pertwee's very first Who story.

There is only one disappointment for me... and it isn't with the film... but the disc. The sound quality is rubbish. I had to turn my TV almost full up just to hear the voices. Great, clear picture... terrible sound.
