Plan 9 from Outer Space description Sometimes a movie achieves such legendary status that it can't quite live up to its reputation. Plan 9 from Outer Space is not one of these movies. It is just as magnificently terrible as you've heard. Plan 9 is the story of space aliens who try to conquer the Earth through resurrection of the dead.

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Bad is good! |
| "Plan 9 from Outer Space", often referred to as "the worst movie ever made", delivers on many levels. Good, bad, you name it.....it is a sensationally awful film that is enjoyable from bad acting to everything else. Knowing that it is such a dud makes the viewer look for each nuance of amateurishness. Its kitsch is its treasure.
Yes, you can indeed detect the strings on the "flying saucers". These metal frisbees are the first hint of what lies ahead. People who have seen "Plan 9" come away from it with different favorite moments. Mine is a continuing one.....police cars whizz along to the cemetery in broad daylight arriving a few minutes later in darkness and fog. One would think the graveyard was in a different time zone. By the way, there seems to be only one camera angle for the police car romp...as if the cameraman staked out his position knowing there would be multiple runs. The zombie characters played by actors Tor Johnson and Vampira are over the top in melodrama. It's a wonder that their intended "prey" can't outrun these slow-moving creatures. ("The Munsters" pale by comparison) The two men on the spaceship also "shine". The ruler, played by John Breckinridge, adopts a faux-English accent and seems bored with the whole adventure, leaving his underling, Eros, to carry out the tasks of his people. Dudley Manlove (now THERE'S a great name for you!) plays Eros and has the most silver-throated voice I've heard in films. I found out later that he did a lot of radio work and was the voice of LUX soap. Surprisingly, one thing that works very well is the sound track. Had it been connected with a film that actually was good, it would have captured more attention and perhaps an award nomination. But, being the film that "Plan 9" is, it probably has gotten more play than it ever could have. "Plan 9 from Outer Space" is something that the whole family can watch and laugh about...even after multiple viewings. Just mind the popcorn...it's so unintentionally funny SO often that you might want to be careful not to spit out any kernels during guffaws. |
