Action packed thriller

Really good reimagining of the Triffid story as they have come to dominate the planet. Great acting and good sound effects.

Intriguing

Great follow up to the original book written 50 years later! Great dramatization

Not too shoddy

Nice follow up, albeit formulaic ending. A good yarn
