The Jellicle Kat It takes a certain kind of skill to try so hard and still make utter crap. That's what's incredible about Plan 9. The awkward narration, anti-rhythmic editing, cartoonish acting, shoestring budget, all culminate in a final scene of browbeating exposition with some kind of message that makes us all shake our heads with amusment. A classic of bad cinema.This film is so bad that is impossible not to like it. Aliens and vampires... What do you want more? Can a movie be so bad that it is somehow good? But still horrifically bad...They say 'Gone With the Wind' is one of the greatest movies EVER made, and this is supposed to be the WORST in cinema history. Give me 'Plan 9' ANY DAY over that pompous, overblown piece of crap. At least Plan 9 entertains.

charleseodell This film features the worst actor (Dudley Manlove) in cinematic history. It has the worst director (Ed Wood). The flying saucers were bought at the toy store. The script stinks. Even the stock footage is mediocre.The result is a flick that is entertaining from start to finish, and never dull. Its sheer badness is its strength. When Dudley Manlove lectures the earthmen and yells "Youre stupid minds! Stuipid! STUPID!!!" I always marvel at how STUPID he is to be shouting it at an enraged six foot four hunk of muscle named Tom Keene. His alien technology appears to never have calculated the physics of a broken jaw.It has been said that Ed Wood's films do not have special effects. Rather, they have symbols to show where special effects would be if Ed could afford them. This was never clearer than the final scene, where the burning flying saucer flys away and explodes. The saucer was not one of the toys. Rather, it was two paper plates glued together, sprayed with lighter fluid, and set on fire. Why would Ed have burned a valuable toy when he could have kept it and given it away for Christmas?Criswell's pretentious narration was the best part of the film. This phony psychic was always a hit on the Jonny Carson show, because he was so preposterous.Vampira was hot! She could suck my blood any day of the week.400 pound Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson, whom Vampira called "a great big hunnybun", never looked better than when he rose from the grave.This movie is maximum camp. If you have never seen it your life is not complete.

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.

Uriah43 This movie begins with a popular—but quite untalented—Hollywood celebrity by the name of Jeron Criswell King giving an introduction to this film. From there the story begins with an old man attending the burial of his wife. After the funeral the gentleman goes home to mourn his loss while the gravediggers finish their task of burying the casket. Unfortunately for them, aliens from outer space bring the corpse back to life and the zombie then proceeds to kill the two gravediggers. Around the same time a flying saucer buzzes a passenger airliner flying en route to Los Angeles and almost causes the pilots to lose control of their aircraft. Upon landing both of the pilots and one of the stewardesses report what they have seen but are told by the army to keep everything secret. Unfortunately, not only are other flying saucers seen in various cities in the United States but something very strange begins to happen in the same cemetery where the two gravediggers met their fate. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this is definitely one of the worst movies I have ever seen. While I can overlook the fact that the special effects were extremely basic (given that the movie was produced in 1959) I cannot overlook the extremely bad acting so easily. Additionally, I should also mention that the costumes worn by the aliens were extremely basic and cheap-looking as well. At any rate, having said all of this I can only say that this film was a total waste of time and I would recommend viewers look elsewhere for their movie entertainment as this film is just plain awful.
