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

'Certos filmes são tão ruins que chegam a ser bons.'. A primeira pessoa que disse esta frase provavelmente acabara de assistir a 'Plano 9 Do Espaço Sideral'.

Unintentionally one of the funniest movies ever made and actually worth the rental price for sheer, silly fun. Pay special attention to the less than authentic gravestones.

It is hopelessly inept and incompetent, but has a place in the canon, albeit a lowly one. It lets us know how badly things can go wrong, and how passion is not always enough.

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

Combustible Celluloid

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.

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

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

Not Coming to a Theater Near You

The film is internationally recognized as the worst film ever made. Presumably, it was only measured against others in Wood's filmography.

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