Plan Nine from Outer Space
We would be remiss if we didn’t honor the memory and legend of former horror TV honey Vampira who passed away at the age of 86 by remembering one of the worst movies and one of her worst performances of all time.
“Plan Nine from Outer Space” is the movie that should just be the film that’s in every dumb movie collector’s category. It should be in every movie collector’s category. If you haven’t seen the dumbness that is Ed Wood’s “greatest” piece of work, you should check it out because it’s the only bad science-fiction movie worth burning eye cells on. What makes it bad is, well, just about everything. The directorial technique is horrible. The acting and the script are unbelievable. I’ve seen home movies that had a better plot, lighting and possibly even catering.
But what Wood’s masterpiece lacks in quality, it more than makes up for in passion. Wood was the kind of guy who would never say die, even when his career and his life were hanging by a thread all because he had a passion for telling stories and creating fantastic worlds. And it shows here because someone without any passion wouldn’t dare have put his name on it.
