The setting of the movie is the fictional island of Fara, located somewhere off the coast of northern Scotland. The island is suffering an unusual heatwave in the middle of winter, which the local meteorologists are unable to explain. The heat is so intense that it causes spontaneous combustion of people and objects, leaving no traces behind.
A group of characters involved in the mystery includes Jeff Callum, a novelist, and Angela Roberts, a photographer, who have come to the island on holiday. Godfrey Hanson, the owner of the Swan Inn, is one of the few people who suspect that something strange is happening on the island. Meanwhile, the visiting scientist, Dr. Vernon Stone, suspects that the cause of the heatwave could be extraterrestrial.
As the situation on the island worsens, the group bands together to investigate the source of the heat and discover that spacecraft has landed on the island, and its occupants are absorbing the energy from the sun, causing the heatwave and spontaneous combustion. The aliens are revealed to be humanoid, with glowing red eyes and a hypnotic power.
Island of the Burning Damned is an enjoyable sci-fi classic with a good cast, strong direction, and a tense atmosphere. The movie has since become a cult classic, appreciated for its mix of horror and science fiction elements.
