“The Day of the Triffids” (Rank Org./Allied Artists, 1962). British Sci-Fi film based on a 1951 novel by John Wyndham, and starring Howard Keel and Nicole Maurey.
Triffids are tall, carnivorous, mobile plants capable of aggressive and seemingly intelligent behavior, which arrived on Earth as spores from a meteor shower. The meteor shower causes blindness in the people who view it. Later, the unwelcome visitors move about the countryside by “walking” on their roots, appear to be able to communicate with each other, and possess a deadly whip-like venomous sting that enables them to kill their victims and feed on the corpses.
