Read More If you enjoy bad movies this one will have you in stitches! This film tries so hard to make a serious statement about the fate of mankind that you have to appreciate it for the bomb that it is. The dialogue alone is so ridiculous that it has to be heard to be believed. Expect the absolute worst when you view Plan 9 and your expectations will be far exceeded. Prepare to be stunned by this horribly great horror classic! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The acting, dialogue, special effects, and plotlines all are truly awful! This film would be a 5 star comedy, but it was supposed to be suspenseful so it deserves 0 stars. Worth seeing for a good laugh! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More "Plan 9 From Outer Space" falls into the "so bad it's actually good" category. While not polished or refined in any way it has an innocent charm that lacks even in today's big budget , hi-tech world of moviemaking. You'll find yourself laughing at the ineptness of the film and each time you watch, you'll see something new.
It's a stinker all right, but a lovable stinker. Watch it once and I'll bet it will find a home in your collection. While you're at it, check out Ed Wood's "Bride of the Monster".
Cheers, Edward D. Wood Jr.! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I was led to belive that this movie was the worst movie ever written, produced and directed out there....next to Attack of the Killer Tomateos of course, it wasn't. Sure the sets were cheesy, the acting was horrible, grade D special effects, and 1 shot wrap ups with tons of flaws, but I've seen worse. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Golden Turkey Award Winner (Worst Director) Edward D. Wood is at his absolute worst with this "Terrifying true tale-of GRAVE ROBBERS FROM OUTER SPACE." The laughably crude "Special Effects" were so bad that my 10 year old son spotted the string used on the Flying Saucers. You'll also see things like characters who walk out of a graveyard at night-and into a mid-day sun! This is also the great BELA LUGOSI'S last movie. They had just started filming some scenes with Lugosi walking around his house, etc when the great star died. This would have been a problem for less creative directors-but not for Mr. Wood. He simply hired another actor-supposedly his wifes' chiropractor-to play the part in the remaining scenes with a cape over his face.
I also HEARTILY recommend "Ed Wood" which stars Johhny Depp as The Great Director. Rent'em both as a double feature. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

You might say it was so bad that it was funny. Something I cannot say of every film I've seen. Worth a look only if you are curious about how bad it really is.

When his face is hidden by his "Dracula" cape, it's the other guy. For the story of this movie being made, check out "Ed Wood" starring Johnny Depp. Plan 9 is a very bad movie, but that's what Ed Wood was all about... Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?
