Samuel K. (Solvanda)
Reviewed on 11/26/2018...
"Day of the Triffids" is IMO the best novel John Wyndham ever wrote, although perhaps on par with "The Kraken Wakes". His other notable works were "The Midwich Cuckoos", "Chocky", and "The Chrysalids". Day of the Triffids is a post-apocalyptic work, at a time when these types of tales were few and far between.

There is a BBC miniseries which is very faithful to the novel (unlike the most recent adaptation a few years ago.) There are some truly unsettling moments of despair here. Wyndham creates progressive pin pricks which allow the viewer to slowly sink into what the end of the world might be like.

Then there is this movie from 1962 (which I noticed is available with Prime) that is also worth watching, although the series is definitely better. I was reminded recently of this title while reading an article on the spread of the invasive Giant Hogweed which grows up to 14 feet tall and can cause blindness. Also 3rd degrees burns. At least they don't eat people!
