At last the Triffids live again!

Introducing Ignite Films' Blu-ray (Region B) for 1963's The Day Of The Triffids. The first adaptation of John Wyndham’s classic sci-fi novel returns to life in a long overdue restoration. Directors Steve Sekely and Freddie Francis transform Wyndham’s tale of ecological apocalypse into a story of resolve and compromise.

The tale of a Europe falling into darkness still shocks with its prescience and cruelty. The flowering of man-eating Triffids are the undesired fallout of a disastrous meteor shower, which has blinded everyone who glanced at it. Howard Keel and Janina Faye take us on a tour of a United Kingdom in chaos while Kieron Moore and Janette Scott search for a way to defeat the leafy menace. 

This film, long in sorry shape, has been returned to its eerie glory to remind new viewers why it was such an epochal text for British science fiction.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: An all-region Blu-ray player is required to view this movie. Standard U.S. Blu-ray players will NOT read Region B discs. If you're looking for a reliable all-region player, we've got you covered!
