Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/18/25 Full Review Judith R Plan 9 From Outer Space is one of those films that even though how bad it is you keep on watching to see how it ends. The film contains very poor effects and acting that has you question the budget of the film. Some of the effects are really poor that it makes somewhat funny like the cockpit of the Pilots and the dummies used for the dead bodies of the men from the cemetery. Most of the sets of the scenes in the film look like they were rushed and made day of. Even some of the dialogue of the film was written poorly. I’d say some of the scenes could have been written out better because there are scenes that are very obvious of how the character could’ve easily avoided the conflict or where the plot just seemed too forced. The film had the plenty of inconsistencies that somewhat made it confusing to understand but overall it was entertaining to watch. The mix of the bad effects with the plot of aliens resurrecting the dead to scare humans was what made it interesting. It was very different to see aliens, vampires, and zombies all mixed into one movie. Now it’s usually just films based on one or the other but to have all three Sci-Fi characters into one film made it very interesting. I think I would recommend this film because it definitely opens them to a new perspective on different kinds of films. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Kelly A There's a special kind of charm in a film so strange and unusual as this film. Although the film has built quite a reputation for itself as one of the worst films ever made, that label simply just does not do this film justice. For all it horrible acting, cringe special effects, and almost nonsensical plot, Plan 9 has a unique allure that keeps the viewers coming back every time. In a strange way, it feels like a warm, comforting hug from a cinema’s most unappreciated underdog. The film's story about aliens reviving the dead to prevent humanity from creating a doomsday weapon sounds like a pretty straightforward plot, but the execution was so insane and so poor that it makes the plot and storyline that much better. The movie features fascinating props such as cardboard gravestones and very obvious invisible strings make the film unintentionally hilarious. The unintentional humor, coupled with the nostalgic charm of the 50s sci-fi fascination, creates an atmosphere that feels oddly familiar and enjoyable. As mentioned earlier, Plan 9 serves as a comfort film for many, and to no surprise. Its imperfections create a sense of nostalgia, reminding watchers of a time when moviemaking wasn’t dominated by polished businesses, but by genuine love for cinema and big dreamers. Watching it feels like gathering with friends to poke fun at its quirks while appreciating the sincerity behind this underdog film. Again, Plan 9 transcends its reputation as a bad movie, and becomes so much more than that. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Avery C I remember watching Plan 9 from Outer Space when I was younger because my grandparents showed it to me, and when we first watched this in class I had an eerie feeling that I’ve seen it before, but I didn’t remember much about it until I rewatched it now. Seeing it again after all these years made me realize it wasn’t as great as I’d imagined. Don't get me wrong this movie is a lot of fun to watch, especially as a 1950s sci-fi flick. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys old-school, sciencey classics because it only gets more interesting as it goes on. As a cult classic, this movie has its charm. The dialogue is bad, the acting is stiff, and the effects are hilariously bad—like, “so bad, it’s good” territory. There were parts where I couldn’t help but laugh, even though it clearly wasn’t supposed to be funny. That said, it’s not totally my thing with the execution feeling a tad all over the place with the bad dialogue and stiff acting. The story itself is wild. It starts with a UFO shaking up a plane, then shifts to resurrected dead people causing chaos in a cemetery. A detective ignores all warnings and gets himself killed, only to be turned into a giant zombie. By the end, there’s a showdown between humans and aliens, a spaceship explodes, and that’s it. I’m not sure if I would watch this movie again but I would say I enjoyed a small part of it. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
