Plan 9 From Outer Space Reviews

I have seen high school productions with better (and more professional) acting.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 1, 2021

I genuinely love this film and, with complete conviction, believe everyone should see this. It is so bad that it's flawless.

| Original Score: 10/10 | May 11, 2021

Wood lacked both the dramatic sense to unfold his speculations in action and the technique (as well as the money) to embody, in any plausible way, his spectacular fancies, but their crude approximations vibrate with his stifled exaltation.

What distinguishes Plan 9 from the other contenders for worst film of all time is the movie's brazen sense of confidence.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 23, 2014

A giant train wreck of a picture...

"This isn't like plans one through eight. This is plan nine, the one that worked! The worst movie ever made!"

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 5, 2011

Some things are best watched at 3am, wrapped in the warm glow of drunkenness. Plan 9 From Outer Space is one of them.

An unintentionally funny tale.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 27, 2007

Far too entertaining to be considered as the very worst film ever made.

Like the greatest cinema poets, [Wood] always managed to work in his own particular pet pleasures or concerns, and that odd, ear-bending dialogue is almost like a bizarre kind of open-verse poetry.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 30, 2007

J. Hoberman of the Village Voice has made a case for Wood as an unconscious avant-gardist; there's no denying that his blunders are unusually creative and oddly expressive.

Hardly The Remains of the Day, but some would claim it's more fun.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 28, 2007

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jul 15, 2006

It all ends with famous psychic Criswell asking the audience, 'Can you prove it didn't happen? God help us in the future'. Prophetic.

| Feb 9, 2006

Yes, it's so awful it's almost good. Here is the birth of camp in cinema.

staggeringly, unmissably bad
