theresamgill We're not talking about the first plan. We're not even talking about plans 2-8. No sir, I am referring to Plan 9 from Outer Space. This gem is written, produced, and directed by Ed Wood, Jr. There's numerous stories of actors doing stupid things-- for example, an actor playing a cop would repeatedly point his gun at himself-- just to see if Mr. Wood would notice (Spoiler, he didn't).Now, there are really only 2 types of moments in this film: moments that are so bad it's funny, and moments that are just plain bad. I'm talking about an awful narrator who, whenever he mentions a character or setting, there must an awkward edit to show what he's talking about-- in case the audience was confused. The writing is so choppy, for better and definitely for worse, the directing is just... just bad. I don't think there's any other way to say it. And the actors would just get their lines over with because they had better things to do with their lives.So what is this ninth plan? Well, aliens with much laughably better technology come to Earth in their flying saucers on strings. And in order to make sure Earth creatures don't destroy the shared universe, they must be destroyed. Thus, the best way for the aliens to accomplish this goal is to obviously raise the dead using their electron guns. This diabolical plan ends up raising a total of 3 creatures throughout the movie: a big detective, Dracula, and Vampira. Trust me when I tell you how haunting and scary and gory and... Oh I can't do it. The biggest laughs are watching the 3 walk over to the main characters as the characters just stare and watch in "horror".This movie isn't always good, but it certainly is always bad. Look it up. There's horror and drama and sci-fi babble with quick edits. Not sure how much more you can ask for. There's even a Johnny Depp film called Ed Wood based on this guy (haven't watched it though). Okay, that's all from me. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.You can find this review and dozens of others at gillipediamoviereviews.blogspot.com

Matthew_Capitano Director Edward D. Wood, Jr. makes an earnest attempt at a sci-fi story, though this movie is famous for being labeled as the 'worst film ever'.Aliens arrive on earth in the form of toy flying saucers filled with beings who sport fancy hairdos and shiny blouses. Earthlings must join together to thwart the extra-terrestrials while concomitantly trying to discover why the visitors are here.Greg Walcott gives a good performance in the role of an airline pilot as does Lyle Talbot as an army general. Also starring wrestler Tor Johnson as a police chief, horror film legend Bela Lugosi as a widower, beautiful vampiress Vampira, and psychic Criswell on hand to deliver an introductory narrative.Followed by Ed Wood's sequel 'Revenge of the Dead' (1960), later renamed 'Night of the Ghouls' by a videographer whom had nothing to do with either film at the time of their release.

Eric Stevenson For a film that has a reputation as being possibly the worst ever, it's weird to see that the score isn't that low here and a lot of critics like it because of how stupid it is. Having finally managed to download the Rifftrax Live version of this, it was great to see the cast of MST3K finally take this movie on. They thought of using it for the actual show, but thought it was too talky. Now they've riffed on it like five times in different versions. It's at least not worse than what you would expect, but should probably be studied like any film.The film's biggest weakness is how utterly boring it is. It's simply a movie where nothing happens. It seems like there's shot after shot of the flying saucers just well, flying. None of this advances anything and the effects are horrendous. I heard the aliens were just people wearing pajamas. Hey, to be fair, they were good looking pajamas. All the talking parts go on way too long and it's something that would have been better as a very short film. It's easy to tell how bad the sets are and how basic the dialogue is. The effect with the explosion at the end is particularly bad.The Rifftrax version(s?) gave us tons of great lines like, "They move too darn fast" with, "We'll just have to kill the next group that comes along". The one that had me laughing the most was at the end when the guy was talking about how anyone we know could be an alien in disguise with the joke, "Kill them just to be safe". It's great to hear modern jokes like, "Tor studied acting under Dramatic Prairie Dog". I also loved, "Neither running or defending yourself have yet to be invented". I also liked "Holy cow!" with "He just became a Hindu". It's great fun with jokes like, "Flying saucers over Hollywood" with the jokes, "Chris Matthews repeatedly probed" and, "That has nothing to do with the flying saucers, you know". *
