A truly horrific transfer!
Yes, I am yet another "Triffid" lover fooled into buying this DVD. The Cinemascope (2.35:1) film is cropped down to 4:3 so the title of the movie barely fits on the screen, the picture is grainy and out of focus, and the color is drastically shifted to the right! Allied Artists' idea of digitally mastering is copying an Nth generation VHS tape to a hard drive and burning a DVD! I have the widescreen PAL version of this movie on DVD and even with PAL to NTSC conversion it is 1000 times better than this miserable excuse for a DVD! Hopefully the Second Sight Films version of "Day of the Triffids" will make it to the US. Until then, don't fear the Triffids, fear this DVD!!
