- A meteor shower disrupts the earth's ecosystem, blinds all who observed it and awakens meat-eating plants. As the hungry foliage grow ever faster, a sighted sailor and an alcoholic scientist help save humanity from becoming plant food. Script originally credited to Phillip Yordan, who acted as a blacklist-era "front" for Gordon.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"As an old-fashioned plot picture unhampered by artistic pretensions, The Day of the Triffids is above par for the course"
-
"A sci-fi thriller (1963) that sticks in the mind, thanks to deft pacing and a vividly paranoid premise."
-
"Although riddled with script inconsistencies and irregularities, it is a more-than-adequate film of its genre."
-
"Always interesting, but bogged down by lengthy romantic interludes, the film is thought-provoking and scary at times."
-
"Sometimes unintentionally funny, and it could have done without the customary moralising."
-
"The book is a deserved classic, but this film loses most of the tension and all of the terror in the transition."
