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.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Terribly
Review: Good that is. The special effects: shotty at best The Dialoge: Non-existent The cinematics: hardly etc

To Look for (it might be off a minute or two mind you) Stuff to Watch For 3 mins-Who the heck is this narrator guy? I sure hope we don't listen to him the whole movie (foreshadowing). 7 mins-Is this girl an undead ballerina? 8 mins-How many people can fit into that little crypt? 22 mins-It's a giant metallic space breast! (really cold in outer space too) 32 mins-This woman's waist is starting to wig me out. 35 mins-Bela Lugosi is in the middle of a field, no - graveyard, no - field. What the heck? 51 mins-Why is he staring at the other man's groin? 53 mins-Okay, I am officially sick of this scene - how many times is that? 6? 7?

Funny Things in the movie:

Funerals take place at 4:00 am. Spacecraft developed by advanced aliens are unable to fly without wobbling. Outer space is awful darn windy. Pilots enter cars on the wrong side then just slide over. Fat men rising from their grave cast a shadow that looks like Darth Vader. There are "atmospheric conditions" in outer space. Nobody ever just runs from the amazingly slow but indestructable undead. Sunlight can explode and destroy the universe. Revolvers use clips.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: StupidReviews.com Official Review
Review: Movies, like any artistic medium, are easily dividedintogenres. There are comedies, tragedies, action films, romances, and countless others. In each genre lies masterpieces, the films that define their category and stand atop the heap. For romance, one must surely consider Gone with the Wind, An Affair to Remember, and the like. Action films? Anything by Jackie Chan, or the many Schwarzenegger adventures. Yes, there are some films that typify and glorify their genre.

And then, of course, there are others. Some films represent the absolute worst of their genre; action movies are dragged through the mud by Billy Blanks and Dolph Lundgren, while lovers of comedy flinch at the mention of Carrot Top's direct-to-video excursions. There are certainly bad movies. In fact, bad is the subject of this website. But when talking about bad, and about movies, one name must always be mentioned. You see, in the history of moving pictures, there is one work that is so cosmically atrocious, it transcends genre, and has rightly taken its place at the very top of the very bottom. A true classic, and voted almost unanimously as the worst movie of all time, this film is none other than Plan 9 from Outer Space.

You've most likely seen Tim Burton's Ed Wood, which told the story of this film's director, and surely it does a wonderful job of explaining a lot of what went into making this movie so unbearable. Unfortunately, it fails in one area, which would be the exhibition of the movie itself, which, to coin a phrase, must be seen to be understood. It's truly impossible to convey a solid sense of this movie's shortcomings without actually seeing it, but I'll try. Now, remember at all times upon reading the rest of this review that Ed Wood, who produced, wrote and directed the movie, was at all times completely serious about everything, and honestly thought he was making a good movie. That is one of the blanket problems with the movie, and the other is that the acting is terrible. So whenever a decription of an awful scene appears, remember that the inflection, delivery and timing were all awful...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cheesy cult classic that's a lot of fun!
Review: Plan 9 From Outer Space is a great movie to watch with a bunch of friends on a Friday or Saturday night. This movie fails miserably in almost everyway possible and in doing so becomes great fun to watch! The acting is horrable, the dialogue is even worse, and the props look fake. At one point in the movie, someone falls down in the graveyard and you can see the grave stones almost fall over! Finding little things like that is what makes this movie so much fun. You are constantly anticipating the next "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" thing to happen (you'll have to watch the movie to get that). There is also a great documentary that is almost as much fun to watch as the movie itself! For cult fans, this is a must although may others will also enjoy this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Future events such as these...
Review: Uttery obscure until the Medved brothers' 'Golden Turkey Awards' highlighted it as the 'Worst Film Ever Made', this is not so much a 'bad' film as a hysterically incompetent one. Consistently failing to triumph over the lack of money, resources and technique available, it quite neatly shows how films should not be judged in terms of 'bad' or 'good', but in terms of 'entertaining' or 'not entertaining'. Whilst 'Plan Nine' is clearly the work of bungling, but enthusiastic incompetents, it's hugely entertaining in a way that the professionally-done 'Speed 2: Cruise Control' is not. Only 'Robot Monster' comes close the the tone of insane incoherence. Where else can you see such a diverse, iconic cast (featuring the recently-deceased Bela Lugosi, a late-night-television horror movie hostess, a wrestler, and a minor celebrity hypnotist) deliver dialogue such as 'Inspector Clay's dead, murdered, and somebody's responsible'?

Note that there are two DVD releases - this one has a lengthy (longer than the film, in fact) documentary, whilst the other has a plug for Tim Burton's equally-good 'Ed Wood'. This one is slightly more expensive, but worth getting, as the documentary is excellent. Commenting on picture and sound quality seems somehow inappropriate, really.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: THE BEST of the worst!
Review: You love bad B-movies just like Nipsey?

Then Plan 9 is for you! Great job by ED Wood and some great lines from one of the most underrated actors of his time. THE GREAT TOR JOHNSON!

A MUST FOR THE B-MOVIE FREAK IN YOU!

Nipsey loves TOR!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The worst movie of all time
Review: This film has often been panned as the worst movie of all time; that it is. That is precisely what makes it so enjoyable. Campiness is something that can't be contrived. It must come from the deluded mind of someone who truly believes in what he is doing yet lacks the talent to do it well. Enter Ed Woods. He is such a man. The added extras about Ed Wood were truly enlightening. If you haven't seen this movie - you must.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SO bad that it sorta loops around becomes GOOD.
Review: I have been a fan of Plan 9 for over 20 years. I have watched it more times than I care to admit, a needless thing in this age of fine anti-obsessive medications. But, as the old cliche goes, I find something else to love about this movie every time I see it. It IS a positively DREADFUL movie, and it is the classic example of how a movie can be so bad that it loops around the curvature of movie-quality space and comes back around to be really wonderful. The ultimate double feature, by the way, is to watch Plan 9 and then watch the Tim Burton film "Ed Wood.'

As noted by the first reviewer, there are two DVDs. The Passport version is perfectly serviceable, but this one is a much better value.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: So bad it makes you laugh
Review: Yesterday I say this film on Swedish Television,and I laughed my way through it.I have never seen such a bad movie with bad actors,lousy special effect,horrible lines(Example:We know only know one thing for certain,and that`s that someone murdered the cheriff and that someone is responsible)and lots of bloopers.There are movies that are so bad they are actually very enjoyable!This is one of those.Don't hesitate to buy it if you like SF.

Can you prove this has never happened?the man says at the end.Oh yes I can.
