George Hickenlooper on “The Day Of The Triffids”
May 5, 2010
Trailer 425 of 695
This first screen treatment of John Wyndham's gripping science fiction novel took many liberties with the original, but the innate power of the concept of alien invaders blinding Earth's populace has turned a troubled production into a semi-classic. Out of circulation for years, it's been painstakingly restored by longtime Triffids fan Michael Hyatt, whose refurbished version was unveiled recently at the Turner Classic Film Festival in LA. Remade as two British television mini-series in 1981 and 1997.

"If you like telepathic Pterodactyls this one's for you!" How can one resist a commentary like that? LOL.

The one original touch: a caveman monster with veins that go ACROSS his nostrils (look fast and you can see him in the trailer). Umm, other than that...

I have a great fondness for this daft film. I remember running around my grandad's garden with a hankerchief I found tied around my hand because I saw Doug McClure do it in either this or another Conner film promting my grandad to ask of I'd hurt myself...

"Phoned it in so intensely, you can almost hear the dial tones" That line is better than anything in this film..
