Plant Creatures With Vines That Kill

by Anonymous

Okay... I'm going on a very thin memory of an old '60s horror movie called something like 'The Night of the Intrepids' where there's an outer space influence on the earth (like a comet) that causes everyone to lose their sight.

There are also plants with long vines that kill you if you're touched by them.

I think there was a remake in the late '90s or early 2000s. Thanks for your help.

I agree, 'The Day of the Triffids' (1962)
by: maddening

"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. In the original novel, this chaos results in the escape of some Triffids: experimental plants that are capable of moving themselves around and attacking people. In the film version, however, the Triffids are not experimental plants. Instead they are space aliens whose spores have arrived in an earlier meteor shower."

There was a TV mini-series based on this as well in '81 and then TV mini-series in 2009.
