Reviews for Plan 9 from Outer Space
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.

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.

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

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

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

staggeringly, unmissably bad

It's mind-numbingly brilliant in its overwhelming, soul-destroying badness.
02/22/05
Not nearly as awful as everyone seems to think it is.
10/10/04
Only because it's so awful, it's good.
07/01/04
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.

...if you don’t find yourself giggling you’re not of this Earth.
02/27/04
When it's really bad, it's good. The rest is just dull.
02/25/04
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.
