Good story, but movie needs some help
As much as I liked the book, and the whole idea of triffids, it could have been done a lot better. Also, this movie has some of the absolute worst movie music I have ever heard. I watched with the sound muted a good part of the time. Let's hope somebody remakes it soon.

I bought the Day of the Triffids, the version put out by a company called cheezy or something....Hey the movie looks great compared to other version, but the last 20 minutes there is no audio, i dont know if its only my copy that has the problem, but i was really dissapointed. If anybody else had that audio problem, please leave me a comment.

crude, but this is the stuff of memories
I saw this as a memento to childhood delight, as I vividly recall seeing it with my best pal when it came out. There are wonderful images in it, of the greasy, mysteriously menacing plants striking blind beauties while society falls apart around them.
Of course, if your standard is not to re-live a wonderful time as a child in a cinema of screaming and laughing children, this film will probably do very little for you. Viewed more cooly from my vantage as a middle-aged film buff, it is pretty weak as sci-fi. Little is explained - the meteors somehow cause both blindness and a bizarre transformation in the triffids - and after the chaos of a society falling apart, the plot takes weird twists. One group that the narrative follows forms a kind of family and inexplicably heads to southern europe, where after much danger they escape. The other actors are a troubled couple of scientists, who miraculously discover that salt water dissolves the triffids after much failed study, again inexplicably. And the effects! Very bad compared to what is available today.
Recommended for purposes of nostalgia only, unless you are a connoisseur of clunky monster flicks over lots of beer.

The Horror Classic "Day Of The Triffids" film to dvd.
ok ive Just watched "day of the triffids" and it has been chopped into anamorphic widescreen, but sadly they left in some of the graininess of the film, which is sad in this age of THX and Dolby surround. but to see this classic remastered and even with the few graphical errors, this IS, and always will be, an aged classic. to me its aged well, some do not agree but I think there's some fun to be had here. but overall this movie is for the fans of the oldies and the people whom saw this movie on the "silver screen" (yes you know who you are) and its worth every cent to go on an adventure like this. *a meteor shower blinds most of the humans on earth, leaving the few survivors to fend off the horrific Triffids! (horrible plant monsters that eat people) before Humanity is destroyed* if you have not seen this film you might want to check it out.
*if you can overlook the age of the film, bad transition, and cheesy storyline, then this might amuse the whole family. there is no gore and violence consists of some shrill screams and a few gunshots plus the gurgle noise of the plants *triffids* other then that this is a mostly forgettable movie unless you are like me and just love the classics that started it all. still a low end B movie though.

A great movie to watch
This is a movie that I enjoyed very much. I had seeing this movie when I was younger but was very hard to find until it came out on vhs and dvd.
I found the fact that it could happen to anyone who is suckered into watching some celestial show and wake up the next day with burned out eye retinas causing permanent blindness.
Not only is the person blind, but the whole world is blind except for the people who did not watch the meteorite shower. Plants, called Triffids become active and unroot themselves and go killing and eating people. Now that is cool. Planes, ships, trains crashing because their pilots or conductors has become blind. A very good movie to watch. Good story and performance.
