The films with killer foliage which spring to mind include The Little Shop of Horrors, Poltergeist, Turistas (released as Paradise Lost in the UK) and The Evil Dead (although a rape rather than killing someone).

Technically, the murderous Vervoids in the 1986 Colin Baker story Terror of the Vervoids are plants too.

Turistas was about organ harvesters. You are probably thinking of The Ruins. (Which is excellent in my opinion)

So it was. They were both released in 2008, weren't they? I remember seeing them in the cinema in a short space of time.

I haven't seen Swamp Thing. Any good?

As for Turistas/The Ruins , I remember liking the former not being particularly impressed by the latter, but somehow don't own either – time to add them to my film rental queue.

I thought Turistas was good until the organ traffickers turned up. The Ruins i really enjoyed and have seen it a few times.

Swamp Thing is a decent comic book romp.
