Killer Plants!
 

Hi everybody,

With the brand new and utterly terrifying eco-horror film, The Bay coming out in cinemas on Friday, what better excuse than to talk about Mother Nature Striking Back movies...especially killer plants!

So what are the greatest Plants Vs Man movies? Vote for yours above and share your thoughts below.

Don't miss out on The Bay. Directed by the guy behind Good Morning, Vietnam, Toys and Rain Man, The Bay will have your skin crawling and you reeling at the sight of water. Remember, #DontDrinkTheBayWater !

The 1986 Little Shop of Horrors of course! I've always loved that film and it's oddly missing from my dvd/bluray collection.

I have a soft spot for the original BBC adaptation of Day of the Triffids. I actually thought the wobbly bbc prop shop monsters worked really well...!

Here! Here! The best adaptation of the book :nod: Bonus points for the dad from 2 Point 4 Children too.

I love The Ruins.

Its not over the top, has good characterization and a brilliant setting (Top of a Mayan ruin). Cool icky gore as well.

A fine film.

I saw a made for cable film recently - Mandrake. That was enjoyable as well. Unfortunately the Mandrake is cgi but its a decent film with some cool action scenes. It stars Benito Martinez from The Shield and Sons of Anarchy.

Many years ago I had this odd obsession with making models out of wire and acrylic wall filler from the pound shop. Here's a BBC Triffid I made for the garden :lol::blush: . . .

Can't go wrong with the BBC's productions either.

Both Day of the Triffids and the Tom Baker Doctor Who story The Seeds of Doom are both classics of seventies tv.

Indeed! When they have to use the (blunt) knife to cut the roots out of themselves :yuck::puke: top body horror right there . . .

I was told The Ruins was a load of rubbish so have never gotten around to watching it. Sounds pretty amazing from what you've both said though!

And SJ, those Triffids you made are incredible! Fantastic work!

Whaa?! I thought it was one of the better horrors of the last decade :shocked: . . .

I think you'd enjoy it Kyle. :nod:

Hmm. Time for a visit to Amazon I think!

:smokin::madgrin::madgrin::madgrin:Yep a classic.:nod:

Not strictly Killer Plants as such,but smoking those green leaf buggers in TOXIC ZOMBIES aka FOREST OF FEAR which turns it's tokers into mad zombies!
So technically speaking,I suppose the plants ARE the killers...:smokin::madgrin::madgrin::madgrin:

Where's "Doctor Terror's House of Horrors", with the Alan Freeman segment about the vine?

The Ruins came in the post the other day, thanks to you guys and I really enjoyed it! Fantastically little horror film with an original premise. I'd give it about a 6.5/7 out of 10.

Cool :cool: what did you think about the 'talking' plants? A lot of folk seem to be turned off the film at that point, but I thought it worked really well!

I was surprised when I read it was based on a novel by the same guy who wrote A Simple Plan :shocked: . . .
