The only problem with this new twist is the lack of logic thats applied to them being green, because they dont use photosynthesis theyre carnivorous!
Den Of Geek
4.5
Although riddled with script inconsistencies and irregularities, it is a more than adequate film of its genre.
Variety
1.5
Sometimes unintentionally funny, and it could have done without the customary moralising.
Time Out
4.5
As an old fashioned plot picture unhampered by artistic pretensions, The Day of the Triffids is above par for the course.
The New York Times
2.0
The book is a deserved classic, but this film loses most of the tension and all of the terror in the transition.
3.2
Unfaithful adaptation from the acclaimed 1951 science fiction novel by John Wyndham.
Sover
2.5
Always interesting, but bogged down by lengthy romantic interludes, the film is thought provoking and scary at times.
Tv Guide
4.5
If the script is a little uneven and even ludicrous at times, The Day of the Triffids is wonderfully apocalyptic sci fi.
Film 4
4.5
A sci fi thriller (1963) that sticks in the mind, thanks to deft pacing and a vividly paranoid premise.
