As an old-fashioned plot picture unhampered by artistic pretensions, The Day of the Triffids is above par for the course.

New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Clever sci-fi gem.
San Francisco Examiner
A sci-fi thriller (1963) that sticks in the mind, thanks to deft pacing and a vividly paranoid premise.

Chicago Reader
Sometimes unintentionally funny, and it could have done without the customary moralising.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The Triffids are coming! The Triffids are killing! A shower of meteorites produces a glow that blinds anyone that looks at it. As it was such a beautiful sight, most people were watching, and as a consequence, 99% of the population go blind. This chaos results in the escape of some Triffids: experimental plants that are capable of moving themselves around and attacking people.
