The Night Caller

The Night Caller (1965) Rewatch? ✅

Early John Saxon! Groovy chanson theme tune! Warren Mitchell!

Anything that involves bizarre space meteors is good with me, whether it’s Quatermass or Spearhead From Space, I am in. Which, fair enough, The Night Caller is an almost proto-UNIT story anyway so of course I’m predisposed towards it, the first half is incredibly Season 7 Dr Who.

Takes a bit of a turn when the alien plan is revealed and doesn’t quite recover but it’s wildly enjoyable all the same. Not one I rewatch often but it’s a solid one to come back to every now and then.
