December 16, 2007"We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I will spend the rest of our lives and remember my friends future events such as these will affect you in the future!"
That's just for openers. -
March 6, 2012One of the most entertaining inept films ever made. I wouldn't necessarily call this the worst movie ever made since the it still manages to be entertaining. What contributes to this movie's charm is that it is obvious that Ed Wood wanted to make a good movie, and that is what ... read more

January 20, 2012Picture a man facing the camera as if ready to give a news report. He tells his audience: "Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will af... read more

January 1, 2011Unintentionally funny. So good because it's oh so bad. All hail Ed Wood!

November 19, 2010Wood's classic cult movie is so fun, cheesy, and bad how could you not love it? I've seen this many times and I still think it's funny. Plus, the story is really brilliant if you can look past the bad acting and special effects. I love this movie.

November 9, 2010I don't get it. Using the dead to convince us that aliens are real, wait, what?!
-
November 7, 2010I dare anyone to explain me the entire monologue on how a bomb will make the sun explode and destroy the universe. As for the rest of the movie, neither the biggest cinematic disaster you will ever see, and hardly the "avant garde" experimental flick some people claim this is. Ju... read more

"This isn't like plans one through eight. This is plan nine, the one that worked! The worst movie ever made!" Full Review

Ian Berriman, SFX Magazine
Some things are best watched at 3am, wrapped in the warm glow of drunkenness. Plan 9 From Outer Space is one of them. Full Review

Phil Hall, Film Threat
Far too entertaining to be considered as the very worst film ever made. Full Review

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
Like the greatest cinema poets, [Wood] always managed to work in his own particular pet pleasures or concerns, and that odd, ear-bending dialogue is almost like a bizarre kind of open-verse poetry. Full Review

Hardly The Remains of the Day, but some would claim it's more fun. Full Review

Derek Adams, Time Out
It all ends with famous psychic Criswell asking the audience, 'Can you prove it didn't happen? God help us in the future'. Prophetic. Full Review

Yes, it's so awful it's almost good. Here is the birth of camp in cinema.
