The Day Of The Triffids 1963.

After a meteor shower that blinds people if they look at it a naval officer and other people band together to survive after plants that are part alien start eating humans and animals.

This was a decent 60s B movies that was entertaining Howard Keel plays the lead role as the naval captain trying to understand what has happened. Janina Faye plays the young girl Susan who hitches a ride on a doomed train and taken under Bill's wing. Yeah it might have some silly effects by today's standards but still enjoyable. The start of the movie was interesting with narration about plants being carnivores to mankind survival, it wasn't a slow movie the pace was filmed well, not the edge of your seat experience though. 7 out of 10

I had a massive crush on her in the 90’s, met her after a gig in Leeds in 1996, got her to sign my ticket and pose for some photos. They’re actually playing at the venue I was in on Friday night soon and are supporting local lads Embrace in Halifax next June

FYI, I liked Elastica too

Me too, but I considered them the Britpop outsiders as their sound was a lot harder and less poppy! Justine Frischmann seemed dangerous as well

Yeah, they were rubbish live though, saw quite a few Britpop bands back in the day when I went through my Indie phase

That's a shame! Sleeper on the other hand were fantastic live! I saw them in both Sheffield and Liverpool in the 90's

(Sorry Demoncrat, not only derailed your point but completely went against the grain as well Sleeper > Crass )

Had a mate who loved Sleeper. And twas his favourite that they used .
So guilt by association I will concede to. There's a film about 'that period' to be made for sure ... but this isn't it .



and anyway The Fall invented Britpop in 85.

Hands of The Ripper.

As a child, Anna witnesses her mother being brutally murdered by her father who it turns out is jack the ripper. and ends up being taken in by a spiritulist conwoman who makes her help her with robbing her gullible customers and not to mention hiring her out for prostition, with one of her customers being a dodgy MP, typical. , when she becomes a young woman. but when Anna(the very pretty angharad Rees) is kissed and sees flickering lights she gets possessed by the spirit of her father and kills, and ends up murdering the spirit woman with a poker. however when Dr Pritchard(Eric porter) discovers what happened he decides to adopt her so he can study her condition, but with disasterous results.

excellent later day film from hammer studios, and proof that they still made great films in the 1970's. with nice Edwardian style settings and atmosphers and good direction from Peter sasdy who did the great Taste the Blood of Dracula.
Some good kills as well including death by broken mirror and a ropey old whore stabbed in the eye with hatpins.

Yes, this was most enjoyable and very well acted. and with a interesting if sad finale at the whispering gallery. 81 out of 100.
