Classic science fiction film about invaders
from outer space, man eating plants!
After a meteor storm hits the earth &
blinds most of the people,
carnivorous plants known as Triffids
emerge from the craters and begin to
take over the planet.
Classic Sci-fi movie based on the book by John Wyndham.

I love this movie. I’ve heard that none of the remakes have done it justice, except for the early BBC TV series.

Remakes seldom do. Normally, there’s no
comparison to the original - to verify, see
the latest version of ‘Rear Window’.

The movie was great and the book was even better.

The book was one of the best.

The book was better than the movie. The movie was limited by the quality of the special effects back then. But in the 60s, they were good enough to get the point across.
Another John Wyndham book was the Midwich Cockoos. Made into the movie, “The Children of the Damned”.

I watched this in the theater when I was 11 and it scared me to death.

Another great plant based flick.

"The movie was limited by the quality of the special effects back then."

True, if we are watching it today. But back then...it scared the crappola outta me (as an eleven year old).

Same with the skeleton fight scene in “Jason and the Argonauts.” That was SO scary!

The BBC series is much closer to the book. I’d also recommend the radio drama the BBC did (both on Youtube).
