In California, an old man (Bela Lugosi) grieves the loss of his wife (Vampira) and on the next day he also dies. However, the space soldier Eros and her mate Tanna use an electric device to resurrect them both and the strong Inspector Clay (Tor Johnson) that was murdered by the couple. Plan 9 from Outer Space is quite ridiculous to say the least, people stand infront of fake skies, the dialogue is horrendous, the acting is over the top, the whole narration annoying and the way that Lugosi goes out was super hilarious in a bad way always of course. (0/10)
... View MoreWhat can I say about Ed Wood that hasn't already been said? If you've ever seen the Tim Burton directed Ed Wood film starring Johnny Depp than you know he was determined to make whatever he wanted at any cost. Plan 9 is what he's most known for due to its schlocky production qualities and its hilariously bad moments. However, is it the worst movie ever made? Actually no, heck it isn't even the worst Ed Wood movie. If you haven't seen Plan 9 you are in for a treat! It features a great introductory narration by Criswell explaining the grave robbing from outer space which features stock footage of Dracula himself, Bella Lugosi until he suddenly gets run over by a car off screen. The imagery in this film inhabits that low budget sci-fi look from the 1950's. We have flying saucers on strings, a fake looking grave yard set and alien technology that isn't the slightest bit convincing. The naivety of the filmmaker is what makes this movie entertaining and the viewing experience doesn't feel torturous as say, Manos The Hands of Fate.
... View MoreWell, The Amazing Criswell's words in the very beginning of the movie do prepare the ground for what you're about to see. And it definitely is not pleasant for many out there. But for an unexplained reason... it was for me.The movie's cons are it's pros: the plot is so absurd that is actually brilliant, the acting and the lines are so poor that they just make you laugh all the time and the goofs throughout the movie (visible boom microphone, spinning around in order to avoid a curtain e.t.c.) make you ask for more.Cult figures such as Bela Lugosi (who's Plan 9 from Outer Space is his last movie), Vampira and The Amazing Criswell embrace Ed Wood's absurd world but they're not the only ones. Several Baptists were involved in the production on the film, which by the way, was Ed Wood's pride.
... View MoreThis is by far THE worst movie EVER made. The acting is so, so, so bad. The sets look like they're made of cardboard and straight out of a grade school production. The script is so confused: this is sci-fi zombie what? The two parts just don't seem to come together AT ALL. And that alien (the male one) is the worst of the bunch. He has this long exposition of who, what, when, where, and why that will bore your skin off, and it is so poorly delivered. Criswell's intro and post-logue are incredibly stupid. There is absolutely nothing redeemable about this film. I thought watching this would be a real hoot because it is notoriously bad. But it just didn't do that either.
