Science Fiction - Day of the Triffids

The Day of the Triffids is an entertaining sci-fi movie based on the classic John Wyndham novel. Following a meteor shower, Bill Masen (Howard Keel) wakes up in hospital after an eye operation to discover that the rest of the world has been subject to comprehensive blinding. This chaos results in the escape of some Triffids: experimental plants that are capable of moving themselves around and attacking people. A genuine British classic sci-fi movie, with special effects that build-up the suspense in certain key scenes to make the triffid creations truly fiendish and frightening.
