Summary: Execrable movie!
Review:
It' s really amazing the awaken scandal by this stupid film which can diminish your IQ in case you watch several times. I've always thought if the Marx Brothers or the three stooges would have worried by such movie , the result would have resulted even superior if the hidden purpose would have been satirical.
Indeed, even you kept your neurons far from irritating just for ninety minutes, and you made a concession with a friend or decide to bet a dinner invitation, considering it a extremely bad joke of long duration, you should lose because it doesn't get it.
Terrible edition, worse acting, infamous script, ridiculous dialogues and beyond all those epithets, a real lack of respect to the viewer.
But if after all those adjectives you decide the same I did in 1970 of risking your money and time, well understand my silence.
You assume the challenge.

Summary: Out of this world!
Review: "Plan 9 From Outer Space" has been dubbed the worst film ever made. I can't disagree with that. Here are just a few of the things that qualifies it for that title.- When the police drives from the town to the cemetary time somehow switches from night to day back to night. - The Swedish accent of wrestler Tor Johnson, playing a police officer / walking corpse. - The six feet tall, blonde chiropractor that replaced deceased Bela Lugosi. - The plates-glued-together UFO's with strings completely visible. - The cardboard tombstones that wiggle. - The cemetery ground, obviously a piece of fabric covered with leaves. - The plot, or rather lack thereof. - The dialogue, hilariosly funny only because it's meant to be serious. - The actors. Nuff said. Still, it's also one of the best films ever made. Ed Wood Jr. was a filmmaker with a passion. He wanted to make films, so he made films. You can't help but respect that. That's why this movie deserves five stars, and "Deathstalker III: Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell" deserves none.

Summary: A Return To More Innocent Times
Review: "Plan 9" was not meant to be watched over and over again on home entertainment systems. It was a simply a movie that, in the fifties, usually screened on Saturdays with two others, besides! True, "Plan 9" appeared a lot of times, but that was because the audiences really appeared to enjoy it. I lived in West L.A at the time, a time when people actually rode their horses into Palms(the nearest movie house to us) and hitched their mares to the post in front of the theatre) In this context, I don't think anyone in the audience, mostly children, noticed these technical errors written of. Most were caused by the low budget. Placing characters outside, even at high noon, requires expensive lighting and placing them outside at night really costs. In any event, the two stars of the movie, Wolcott and Manlove(?!?) didn't do that bad if you are young, quite innocent, and have your pretty cousin sitting next to you. After forty years, I still remembered some of the dialogue! Yes, Mr. Spielberg and Mr. Lucas, with their seventy million dollar budgets, make the slick movies with the better actors and minus the rough edges. Mr. Wood seems to have used what he HAD to conceive of plots that would justify using them. The "sexy" feminine leads(My Gosh, Tanna, really needed to keep her rump out of the camera frame,and the wife, who seems okay at first but, by the end, seems more like some librarian from Kansas), also adds little here. But we were more interested in those cool space craft and I'll bet more than one person my age tried, then, to make his own--based on the rather sere sets that Wood used. Tor needed some work on his grammer "I got be looking around." and Manlove goes way over the edge, but Wolcott really does okay for what he had to work with. Not for adults, then, unless you want to see how a lack of money can affect a movie. A great piece of nostalgia from the fifties.

Summary: Better than "Star Wars" - even today!
Review: "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is perhaps the visual equivalent to the shockingly bad band The Shaggs. Yet like that band's "Philosophy of the World" album, this movie has such an innocence and sincerity to it that is so completely and utterly lacking in so much of the drivel that Hollywood churns out these days, that it has managed to obtain a unique and unexplainable charm. As a result it must be seen to be believed. I can guarantee you this - once you have seen it you'll never forget it!

Summary: Truly a Must See
Review: "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is without a doubt Ed Wood's most hilariously incompetent movie - if you only see one of his epics, make it this one. As you've probably heard countless times, this film has it all - flying saucers on strings, fey aliens and silk pyjamas, a ridiculous "army of the dead," tombstones that keep falling over, cops who point their guns in all directions, a 'star' who is dead, and truly hideous dialogue. The story, if it really matters, is about aliens determined to destroy the earth before scientists discover the 'solarmanite' bomb, which can destroy sunlight and, apparently, the universe. A true classic of unintentional comedy.
The DVD from Image Entertainment shows give "Plan 9" just about the best image quality it's ever likely to have. There are still nicks and scratches, but the image is sharp and the black levels are solid, and its miles away from blurry old VHS tapes. The biggest value this DVD has is in its nearly two-hour documentary "Flying Saucers Over Hollywood: The Plan 9 Companion." This documentary covers every imaginable aspect of "Plan 9" (including shooting, distribution, flaws, and its impact on popular culture) in amazing detail. It also includes interviews with much of the cast as well as prominent fans (Sam Raimi, Drew Friedman, and others). A theatrical trailer is also included.

Summary: So bad it's brilliant.
Review: "Plan Nine From Outer Space" is remembered for being the worst movie ever made. To rate it as a movie, you have to give it 1 star. But for entertainment value you have to give it five stars. This movie is so stupid. It's full of bad dialogue, lame acting and bad editing. The script is full of classic lines. Almost every time I see it, I pick up on more. The fact that the script is so funny, is that it was made to be a serious movie and the actors say the lines with such a straight face. Other hilarious things in it are the flying sources that look as if they were made from paper plates, and they probably were. The sets are so cheap. I wonder what the budget for this movie was? The thing that had me in hysterics, was the church in the cemetery. It looks as if it were made out of something like foam and it isn't much taller than the actors. They have to stoop down to step out of it. But, this movie is brilliant. Watch it if your in the mood for a laugh or if you need cheering up. It works.

Summary: As Good As Bad Gets
Review: "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 friends, future events such as these will affect you in the future." "Modern women!"
"Yeah, they've been the same down through the ages." The above are samples of dialogue from "Plan 9 From Outer Space," and the script is the most coherent component of this film. Be warned, this is B-movie magic in its purest form; it seems that not a penny was spared...err, I mean spent in the acquisition of props, sets, or competent actors, and the result is one of the funniest films ever produced. Here's a rundown of the plot: aliens want to bring earthlings to the bargaining table, and to achieve this they reanimate the dead. The extra-terrestrials hope that the fear of seeing walking dead will force the governments of Earth to...oh, it doesn't really matter. You see, this is a movie where a "detective" scratches his neck with the barrel of his revolver, night and day repeatedly alternate within scenes, and flying pilots speak to the ground crew on an actual telephone. It's a fine line, sometimes, between a one-star review and a five, but, this is a fun film, a classic, one that deserves to be laughed at and, eventually, loved by any viewer with a sense of humor. So, watch and giggle as each low-grade actor delivers his campy lines with absolute conviction and cardboard tombstones wiggle when bumped. And, with that, let me leave you with one more classic bit of dialogue:
"Visits? That would indicate visitors."

Summary: So bad, it's great - however .....
Review: .... "The Creeping Terror" was worse ...hard to imagine but true! A guy under a rug decorated with vacuum cleaner hoses, shuffles along devouring hapless folks who somehow are unable to simply walk away. When the carpet munched a bunch of kids and later a bunch of soldiers, it resulted in a, "multiple missing persons" report. More great dialogue ... when a cop discovers the strange craft (bottom of a garage door) the monster arrived in, he exclaims, "it ain't an airplane"! At the end, the narrator referring to a mortally wounded scientist says, "When asked of mankind's future ... Dr. Caldwell was pessimistic".

Summary: Really greatly awful!
Review: A classic. Even if you're the most forgiving movieviewer in the world, you'd probably find something horrible about the movie--like the constant switches between day and night, the wobbly flight of the flying saucers, (almost as if they were on strings...) the appearing and disappearing language barriers, the narration, ("The flowers, planted by her own hands, reminded the man only of the faded roses of her cheecks." I'm quoting from memory.) the dialogue, (Another quote from memory, "It's strange how the Earth people who can think, are so afraid of those who cannot.") the premise, (Aliens come to the Earth to tell people not to invent something. Then they explain how it works, and how it will destroy the entire universe. This is of course a vital task, so it is assigned one ship with two crew members. Did I mention that these aliens have to ressurect the dead so that they can be acknowledged?) the whole thing. Watch it. It's horrible. It's probably the worst movie you'll ever see. It's hilarious.
