A shower of meteorites produces a glow that blinds anyone that looks at it. As it was such a beautiful sight, most people were watching, and as a consequence, 99% of the population go blind. In the original novel, this chaos results in the escape of some Triffids: experimental plants that are capable of moving themselves around and attacking people. In the film version, however, the Triffids are not experimental plants. Instead they are space aliens whose spores have arrived in an earlier meteor shower.
Leave your thoughts about The Day of the Triffids.
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrA sci-fi thriller (1963) that sticks in the mind, thanks to deft pacing and a vividly paranoid premise. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumThe plants are marchin'! Hero Keel then overwaters them. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordTerror comes to full bloom in a sci-fi classic |
| User ReviewTori MWhile much of the earth's population is blinded by a brilliant meteor shower, small plants called triffids undergo horrifying mutations causing them to grow, acquire mobility, and feed on humans |
| User ReviewTom DStill a great scare, and one of the few films starring the great Howard Keel that WASN'T a musical!! The sound the Triffids make still sends shivers down my spine!! A must-see!! |
| User ReviewJohanna MThis movie is great! It has the most classic ending of any 60's movie ever made. I used to check T.V.listings and set the alarm if it was on the late,late movie. |
| User ReviewAngela MI can't get enough of movies where meteors bring disaster. |
| User ReviewParty Pete. Cwhat u feedin them plants on then. 9.8/10 |
| User ReviewJoEy MThis is another great movie!!!! Mayb old, but it has everything!!!! Suspence, gore (a lil bit) And a bit of humour. Surprisingly the special effects are good!!! |
| User ReviewMissa SMy mom used to have this movie, so I watched it as a kid. It's one of the first horror movies I watched and I was hooked. The sound effects they used to signify that the Triffids were moving was a little odd, but a smart idea. And because I was a kid, I didn't mind that the special effects weren't so great because I still had an imagination. lol. |
