I've bought two dvd's of Day of the Triffids (wonderful movie and follows original story reasonably close) and both have flakey video. My vhs copy bought 20 years ago is better than the one advertised above. This is a great film but needs to be remastered. I also have the pal version which is better than the one above. Just saw a new version on e-bay and I am wondering if I will get hammered again if I buy it. If these companies are going to reissue a great film how about a first generation copy taken from the master and not from an old vhs copy. Artisian and Criterdon remaster great oldies. I wish they would pick this one up too. So, I'll give this copy a D+ at best. Wonderful film. Too bad its a bad copy.
