VHS Movie Reviews of Plan 9 from Outer Space [VHS]
Movie Review: Who Needs The First Eight Plans When You've Got Plan 9!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all, I love films like Casablanca and The Seven Samurai. So why is Plan 9 on my list of top 10 favorites of all time? Because it is one of the most entertaining films ever made! I have seen this film over 100 times and it has yet to bore me. There is always some new mistake to discover or some new piece of inane dialogue to savor! This film is like Louis Armstrong's description of jazz - If you gotta ask, you'll never know! This film can't really be compared to mainstream film because it is so different in every way. When parts are being played be different actors (Bela Lugosi and Tom Mason) or by non-actors (just about all the rest of the cast)how do you compare it to, say, Citizen Kane? You can't, but it's just as entertaining! And the film doen't age; it's like a little time capsule from the 1950's with it's clothes and cars and sets. This is a wonderful little misunderstood gem that offends no on (except us earth people, who are idiots!) and entertains all. Make sure you purchase the Image Entertainment version for the best copy available. And Flying Saucers Over Hollywood is the perfect extra on the disc. A wonderful package!
Summary of Plan 9 from Outer Space [VHS]
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 DavisCult Movies VHS Video
