Review of Plan 9

Plan 9 (2015)
1/10
Worst Movie in History? Hold my Beer!

Warning: Spoilers
Okay, so someone decided to remake Plan 9 from Outer Space, the reputed worst movie in history whose awfulness has come to be loved.

To give the film makers credit, they tried to do a homage to Ed Wood's "Masterpiece" by recreating key imagery and scenes... But not really.

First, the movie has way too many characters and subplots going on, to where you can't really track what is happening. Secondly, it very quickly devolves into yet another Zombie Movie, and frankly, those are a dime a dozen now. Oh, yes, add in some needless dark scenes (Army Soldiers killing civilians, a mother poisoning her own child who then comes back as a Zombie and has to be killed) and some gratuitous nudity, and it just fails as a movie.

Give Ed Wood his credit. His movie only had about ten characters, and it worked just fine. The plot was simple. UFO aliens animate dead bodies to scare people. This is a lot more complex and for really, no good reason.
