Review of Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957) by Steve B — 15 Aug 2012
"This isn't Plans 1 through 8! This is Plan 9! This is the one that worked! The worst movie ever made!".
I gave it three stars because I'm torn. I know it's been called the Worst Movie of All Time, but after watching it I can honestly say that I'm pretty sure I've seen worse - much worse. Yes, the acting is bad, the writing is atrocious, the sets, continuity, narration, etc... there is nothing good to say about any of these things. Except that taken all together, they work in a completely campy, accidentally hysterically funny way. So on technical points (and practical points, it is a God-awful movie, but for entertainment value, it's a five-star feature.
(I also recommend you rent "Ed Wood" - an excellent movie in it's own right - so you can get a feel for this movie's origins.).
