However, Ryder is a dangerous murderer who dares Halsey to prevent him from killing again. When Halsey manages to escape, Ryder initiates a brutal game of cat and mouse, leaving the bodies of his latest victims for Halsey to find.

Highly recommended

"It's a mad mad mad world" .... an excellent and entertaining movie and such an appropriate title for our present time ! Grab it wilst you can is my advice.

Image and audio quality on this blu-ray is also very good.

Shiping was very fast.

BBC Sense and Sensibility

Absolutely loved it! The character development was so interesting and the music matched beautifully. The actual purchase was easy and the delivery was prompt. The DVD came well packaged and in good (brand new) working order. Very happy with our purchase.

Excellent

Really good delivery on time and order to dvdhub , no damage safely bundles love it look so new , prefect play

Super happy with our purchase, it's great to watch The Mighty Ducks/Champions with my kids, who look like they'll love the movies as much as I did! The DVDs arrived quickly and were packaged well.

Day of the Triffids

This has been a favourite story of mine since the first time I read the book decades ago.
While the BBC series misses a lot of the details and characters included in the book, it does retain the spine of the story as is hoped for with book to film transfers, them being different animals as it were. Some of the imagery, costumes etc could be seen as dated but that doesn't bother me. It's certainly not a reason to remake the story for mine. The triffid gun could have been left out but there you are. It is hard to second guess production values from decades ago.
Bill Masen was one of my first crushes, and John Duttine is perfectly cast in the role. Other casting is good enough, but this may reflect my early crush.
The Triffids, as seen in this production, are cracking and convey a sense of dread in a passive/aggressive way. They are fully realised and I suggest Wyndam would be pleased with the representation.
I recommend this filmed version of the story as I think it is very good and way better than other versions. Waaaay better.
