"Plan 9 From Outer Space" Review

Dear Readers,

Ever since I heard saw the movie Ed Wood when I was a teenager, and maybe before then, I’ve wanted to see Plan 9 from Outer Space. I heard it was horrible, but I still wanted to see it, kind of like people want to see car accidents up close.

A few days ago I finally saw the movie, and this is my review about the movie.

Plan 9 From Outer Space is known as one of the worst movies ever made for good reason. The plot is bad, the acting is bad, and the costumes, sets, special effects and scenery are really cheap and cheesy. But there’s something good about the movie, something that draws people to watch it. I think that Plan 9 from Outer Space is really not the worst movie ever made if people are still watching it and talking about it in 2009. If it really would have been soooo unwatchable, it would have faded into oblivion shortly after it was released in 1959.

But the movie’s so bad it’s funny, so it’s become sort of a “cult classic.”

However, it’s just not the movie itself that people like, but it’s all the mythology around the movie. People, including me, eat up trivia like the director Edward D. Wood, Jr. was a transvestite, that the movie was funded by a church, and Wood and some of his cast and crew got baptized in order to secure funding, and Tor was too big to fit in the baptismal font, so they had to do the baptisms in a pool, and the whole movie was shot in three days. Without that wacky background information, I don’t know if I would have liked Plan 9 From Outer Space as much as I did.

Ha ha ha. It’s really funny.

It’s great.

I like it.

Plan 9 from Outer Space. Woo-hoo!

The movie. It’s cool.

And funny!

Tor. What kind of name is Tor? Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha.

What was up with Elvira? She didn’t do anything. She just walked around looking creepy.

The movie has no closure. I won’t give away the ending, though.

I could write a movie better than that!

But maybe I couldn’t!

Plan 9! Ha ha ha. I wonder what plans 1 through 8 were.

I had a great time watching the movie. I liked the narrator, Criswell, a lot. A lot, a lot. You should just watch the beginning of it, if you want to, because that’s where Criswell is. He says funny things. Sometimes the movie was slow, but that’s how a lot of old movies are. You might want to doodle, knit, or cook during the movie, to keep your mind a little more entertained.

One thing I didn’t understand was why the aliens brought corpses back to life in order to get the humans’ attention. Uh… doesn’t flying around the sky in flying saucers get the humans’ attention? Or maybe they could land somewhere and say “Hi, we’re aliens. Here we are. Look at us.” But then again, those aliens were so much more advanced than us, I should not question their plans.

But the movie isn't that bad. It's weird. Ha ha ha.

It has good things in it. Vampires. Zombies. Airplanes. Flying saucers. Aliens. Military officials. Cops. Gunshots. Fire. Fog. A graveyard at night. Those are good movie things.

Plan 9. Ha ha ha.

In some ways, the moral of Plan 9 from Outer Space was similar to the moral in The Day the Earth Stood Still. Both movies featured aliens coming to Earth to encourage us to live more peacefully with each other.

I hear there are remakes in the works!!!

In conculsion, if you are in the right mood, Plan 9 from Outer Space is a treat for the whole family! It's fun to quote from! And it's fun to misquote from!

It will affect you in the future!
