The Day of the Triffids (2009)

In a world caught off-guard, the Triffids are advancing - voracious plant-like creatures, their appetite for human flesh insatiable. As much as the majority of the planet dismisses it as a cruel jest, the reality is far more sinister and deadly. The Triffids' invasion is no laughing matter, and a disparate group of survivors find themselves on the frontline of this botanical nightmare. Against the backdrop of a world plunged into blindness, these scattered remnants of humanity must rally together to counter the dual threats they face. On one hand, the relentless Triffids, their carnivorous nature unbridled and growing more dangerous by the minute. On the other, the chilling shadow of Torrence, a man whose very name sends shivers down the spine, who has amassed an army of unspeakable street psychopaths. In a battle against these twin terrors, the survivors must not only erase the threat of the Triffids, but also dismantle the reign of Torrence. The struggle for survival is as much against their fellow man as it is against the monstrous plants. The Day of the Triffids is a tale of resilience and hope in the face of overwhelming odds, a struggle for survival where the enemy is as much within as it is outside.
