The Day of the Triffids Movie Streaming.
Movie Title: The Day of the Triffids The Day of the Triffids is available for streaming or downloading. |
My star rating is based on the Cheezy Flicks DVD release. The movie gets four+ stars IMHO!
THE MOVIE: This clever classic from the days of my youth is still exciting to watch today. Although the idea of killer plants may seem cheesy, the mass blindness and resulting hysteria add that apocalyptic taste I so love! The Triffids don’t move very fast, but they do make scary noises… and that’s a good thing. The action is well paced and the camera work is interesting. Ultimately, this is sort of like a zombie flick, but instead of zombies we have killer space plants.
THIS DVD: The ONLY thing this DVD has going for it is that it’s widescreen. The back of the box says, “4:3 Aspect Ratio” and, “Digitally Remastered”; both statements are wrong. The color is dull and a little pink, which is really sad for a film that made such dramatic, stylistic use of color. The print is pretty clean most of the way through except at reel changes and towards the end, buts that’s forgivable. What is NOT forgivable is that the last chapter of this DVD is a pixilated, skipping, jacked-up mess that is totally impossible to watch (I checked on multiple players to be sure). I returned my first DVD and the replacement had exactly the same problem, which tells me that the problem is with “Cheezy Flicks” and their poor quality DVDs. Recently, fly-by-night DVD publishers like this have been showing up on Amazon charging top dollar for discs that belong in the bargain bins. No matter how much I love this movie, this is one of those bargain bin discs. However, BOTH current DVD versions of this film have little to recommend, other than the film itself.
On my Sony, the Cheezy Flicks DVD release I received this week strugged and failed about 4 minutes into chapter 17 as the guy in the lighthouse was in the process of hosing down some triffids. Chapter 18 wouldn’t play either. I’ve seen a couple of similar comments posted elsewhere on the Internet about the last chapter or last few minutes.

This version also seems shortened vs. the release I’ve seen on TV a couple of times. I thought there was supposed to be an early scene where a gang a young tuffs was roaming the streets making trouble for people including a young woman (then our hero stepped in to save her). I couldn’t find that scene in this DVD, so if someone else has please do speak up.
The back of the box says 4:3 aspect ratio. A sheet inside mentions letterbox and it played in letterbox format on my TV. Coloring seemed okay for an old flick to me, though unremarkable.

Although I’d rate the original movie 5 stars in its category, the DVD I received had a playback problem and seemed short.
