80's Sci-FI with Plants erupting out of Bodies

[Richelieu Jr]

Hi there,

This seems to be a TV series or mini series from either the late 70's or early '80's...

A sort of sci-fi thriller with folks running from an alien menace. When they got caught they ended up with plants bursting out of their bodies.. You could hear their chest splitting apart, but there was no blood...

Can anyone help me with this?
