Bad movie lives up to legend
5 May 2013
From the opening, where we told about people testifying about future events that haven't happened, to some of the worst set designs ever, Plan 9 From outer Space lives up to the legend of it being one of the worst movies ever.

And this is where the movie is actually okay, if the plot could be co-herent. The plot, if one could call it that is about a race of aliens looking to invade Earth using an army of the dead, which can be controlled by Electro guns.

There are several cases of night turning into day, and day into night, and a scene where a police officer scratches his head with a loaded gun. This all in addition to severe overuse of stock footage to advance the plot.

That all being said, Plan 9 is not with out charm. It is the perfect b level low budget film. It is entertaining, funny in spots where its not supposed to be, and filled with enough over the top scene chewing acting, It really is a so bad it's good style movie.

However, I don't think that Ed Wood should still have the honor of being the worst director of all time. At least, not while Michael Bay is still making movies
