Directed by Steve Sekely
The premise
After an unusual meteor shower leaves most of the human population blind, a merchant navy officer must find a way to conquer tall, aggressive plants which are feeding on people and animals.
Horror Vault's take
When a dazzling meteor shower robs most of the world's population of their sight overnight, civilization begins to crumble with terrifying speed. Into this chaos grow the Triffids — towering, carnivorous plants that seem almost purposeful in their hunger for human prey. One sighted merchant navy officer navigates the chaos of a collapsing Europe, struggling to protect survivors and find answers. Based on John Wyndham's classic novel, this British sci-fi horror pits mankind's ingenuity against a threat both botanical and eerily alien.
