Day of the Triffids
 

Anybody remember this one? It's really quite good for its day--man eating plants and all.

Great film. The BBC also did an adaptation of the book and ran it as a series here in the UK which was unmissable entertainment.
John Wyndham's orginal book I rate very highly - one of the best sci-fis I've read.

A campy little gem. A post apocalypse movie AND a killer plant movie. There's nothing like watching distiguished British actors run from rubber walking plants. What would Shakespeare have to say about that? Probably something that rhymed and made no f'in' sense.

always wanted to see the movie, i used watch the show when it was on from time to time but it never ursurped dr. who and blake's seven in terms of brit campy coolness!

I remembe this film. I didnt see it til I was 20 but I remember people talking about it when I was a kid and thinking that it sounded stupid. But when I did see it I liked it. And still do it's got an element cheap BBCness about it, like Dr Who. But that just adds to the charm.

I didn't like the movie at all, kinda boring. The book is amazing and it's sequel. The BBC version scared the hell out of me when I was little, it's very very creepy. Not sure if it still plays well after all these years though, would be nice to see it again. It would be great to see a new version.

I have never seen this movie. I hope it is nothing like little shop of horrors.?

which one?

Triffids was a nice piece of end of the world/giant creature cinema. Yeah, it's a little campy today, hell, it was campy then, but it does satisfy as an entertaining commentary on the world going to hell in a handbasket. Triffids was a nice way to marry those two genres.
