I first saw this when I was very young and the slow, inexorable creeping of the flowery menace was quite intimidating at the time! I watched it again last night.

The effects have not worn well - the muppet-like plants and frankly terrible matte filming almost detract from what is an innovative story (from the great John Wyndham) and Howard "Oh what a beautiful morrrrrniiiiing!" Keel makes an effective hero. Needless to say, Ron Goodwin's score is immaculate.

What I also like about this is that there are two only tenuously linked threads going on: one with said Keel, guiding two damsels in distress to safety; the other with a dysfunctional married couple, pulling together to try to use science against the foe.

Finally, it was good to see Moorfield's Eye Hospital in screen. I was there a year or two ago and will be back soon.

:happy:
