⭐⭐ 79min Aliens use Plan 9 to scare mankind. Written and directed by Ed Wood. With Tor Johnson and (in a way) Bela Lugosi.
Recap
So there are these sightings of flying saucers from outer space. As we find out, the aliens have been trying to warn mankind for months now, but to no avail. So the aliens try plan 9, which means that they raise zombies from their graves.
In the year 1980, the Medved Brothers published the book The Golden Turkey Awards to celebrate trash cinema. The most important trophy, The Worst Film Of All Time, was awarded to Plan 9 From Outer Space, and Ed Wood was awarded worst director. Oh how I wish that they had been right, but I have seen so many movies that were so much worse. Sure, the story is brainless, the acting is bad, and Wood himself didn’t even know just how unskilled he was. But maybe that is what makes him special. People like Bret Kelly or companies like Asylum are just brazen when they make trash movies for profit, while everybody seems to love Ed Wood for being the pure fool.
While this is far from being the worst movie ever, it sure is pretty bad, and it sure is fun to watch for those who love so-bad-that-it’s-good movies. And while it is bad I give it a mediocre rating including a bonus for being a historical document.
