Nightfall (1988)
The worst film I've ever seen
As a poor student I was searching the video store's budget rentals for something to see. I was beside myself with joy when I found a film version of an Asimov classic. The 25p (40 cents) I spent on the rental is the worst investment I've ever made. Nothing happened in the film. Nothing at all. Then it got dark and the titles rolled. I'll never get those 90 minutes back.
Do not watch this film, unless you are some mad masochist.

An homage to John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, though that's no surprise as I have a penchent for post-apocalyptical flicks, though it bears an uncanny likeness to John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids book (you must read it!) and the BBC's early 1980's adaption thereof.
From the patient in hospital beginning, to the light from the tower to guide our heroes, to the barrackaded safe-house at the end it reeks of Wyndham. But until some visionary in the industry sees the potential in the Triffid story for a decent film version (the Hollywood 50's version bears almost no resemblance to the original story) this'll do.
It sures makes a change for the Zombies to be able to run like sprinters.
