Tom Goodwin: "Keep behind me. There's no sense in getting killed by a plant."
Where's a well-armed Alan Titchmarsh when you need him? Vicious carnivorous plants zero in on a helpless population who have been rendered blind in this effective B-movie adaptation of the John Wyndham novel.
Departing Britain for France and Spain for the film version, American seaman Masen (Howard Keel) escapes being blinded (he's in hospital) and must now lead the unsighted in their battle against the roaming killer plants, disappointingly rendered as great stalking broccoli.
However the fear factor is in the concept and there's one scene - where a blinded pilot is still at the controls of a doomed passenger plane - that is as chilling as anything you'll, erm, see.
