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)

What 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.

Aliens come to Earth, supposedly with good intentions at first. But, incensed at humanity's inclination towards violence and hostility, come up with methods to conquer them. They think that they've hit gold with their ninth plan: resurrection of the dead. Among the recently dead who become their puppets are an old man (Bela Lugosi, in his final film appearance), his wife (Maila "Vampira" Nurmi), and a police inspector (Tor Johnson). And among the intrepid humans who intend to foil them are airline pilot Jeff Trent (Gregory Walcott), police lieutenant Harper (Duke Moore), and military colonel Edwards (Tom Keene).Edward D. Wood Jr.'s infamous schlock picture has the distinction of often being voted "worst movie of all time". While it's far from being a "good" movie or a particularly slick one, this is a little unfair. There are lots of crummy pictures out there that could also easily vie for that title. At least "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is not boring. Viewers do readily admit that it's endlessly amusing, especially when one considers its priceless dialogue, dopey performances, and ultra cheap sets. (One's gotta love those wobbling crosses and tombstones.) Use of stock footage mingles with writer / editor / producer / director Woods' own footage to fill an agreeable 79 minute run time. For this viewer, some of the biggest laughs arise from the fact that Lugosi had unfortunately passed on after only about two days worth of shooting, and his role had to be recast with Woods' wifes' chiropractor, an obviously taller and younger man who is obliged to hold a cape over his lower face.In a cast also including Mona McKinnon, Paul Marco, Conrad Brooks, Joanna Lee, and Lyle Talbot, a special shout out has to go to the hilarious "Dudley Manlove", who's actually quite the scene stealer as pompous alien bad guy Eros. He looks like he's enjoying himself reeling off Woods' lines. Ridiculous "psychic" Criswell opens and closes the picture with his proclamations.This may not be "high art", but it does have a definite charm going for it.Five out of 10.

You either love "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or you hate it, there is no middle ground. It is a film that is almost impossible to criticize today, since it is so famous for its flaws. You have bad actors delivering bad dialogue, bad science ("Solarite bombs!"), bad special effects, Edward D. Wood's wife's chiropractor running around for no reason and doing nothing that has any connection to the plot (due to Bela Lugosi dying before Wood could figure out how to work Lugosi's last footage into a story)...Despite that, it is absurdly entertaining. Edward D. Wood was an accidental genius, someone whose films were entertaining seemingly BECAUSE everything went wrong. It's like the saying, "A friend is someone who knows you but likes you anyway." Forget all the naysayers, turn it on, sit back and enjoy.
