| VHS Tape Description Sometimes a movie achieves such legendary status that it can't quite live up to its reputation. Plan 9 from Outer Space is not one of these movies. It is just as magnificently terrible as you've heard. Plan 9 is the story of space aliens who try to conquer the Earth through resurrection of the dead. Psychic Criswell narrates ("Future events such as these will affect you in the future!") as police rush through the cemetery, occasionally clipping the cardboard tombstones in their zeal to find the source of the mysterious goings-on. More than just a bad film, Plan 9 is something of a one- stop clearinghouse for poor cinematic techniques: The time shifts whimsically from midnight to afternoon sun, Tor Johnson flails desperately in an attempt to rise from his coffin, and flying saucers zoom past on clearly visible strings. Fading star Bela Lugosi tragically died during filming, but such a small hurdle could not stop writer-producer-director Ed Wood. Lugosi is ingeniously replaced with a man who holds a cape across his face and might as well have "NOT BELA LUGOSI" stamped on his forehead. Plan 9 is so sweetly well- intentioned in both its message and its execution that it's impossible not to love it. And if you don't, well, as Eros says, "You people of Earth are idiots!" --Ali Davis |

it may be the best "worst film" ever made if you have never heard of this movie then i can only guess you are on the wrong page because this truley is the worst movie ever made,and the most fun you will ever have watching a movie ever. ed wood directs bela lugosi( two years after he died!!!) in this story of grave robbers from outer space. yes it's the worst but you can see that even though these people had no talent they tried as hard as they could and really it's a very funny comedy(even if it's not supose to be)and can give you and a group of friends endless hours of fun laughing and talking back to the screen. enjoy
The worst movie ever made! I think my title covers it all.. Bela Lugosi dies during the filming and another actor takes his place.. the replacement actor just covers his face whenever he is on camera.. Just watch.
The special effects are epic!
Passport Video Please Do NOT Buy the Passport Edition for the following reasons:
I received the item and I could already hear the item shaking around in the case unopened. The Case looks like a normal high quality but as soon as you open it you will discover it is not. Packaging is everything. The DVD comes pre-scratched in a condition that I have to beg my player to accept it. Maybe these scratches account for the low quality of the transfer, But I do not believe they do. Also, passport gives you a fine view of their logo for the entire duration of the film. I've had DVDs for close to ten years and my oldest ones aren't scratched as bad as this one. By the way, it smells horrible. Yes, this dvd literally stinks. I don't even have to review the movie because if you order this DVD, you'll never watch the movie as it stands.
