Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)

1/5

This movie is terrible, from beginning to end. Every word and every action is just plain bad. A group of people walk out from a cardboard church that is attached to a wall and is too small for them to exit standing straight. The tombstones in the graveyard are cardboard as well, wobbling and falling over when people pass by. You can see the strings on the alien flying saucers. Half of the scenes are shot in front of a white wall. The archival b footage doesn't match up with the scenes shot for this movie. Bela Lugosi is there for about one second, where he picks up a rose and it falls out of his hands. After that, another person plays his character. The dialogue is cheesy and blunt. Also, it makes no sense.

The only way to enjoy this movie is drunk. Although I think that's a positive for alcohol, not the movie. Here is my favorite line: "In my land, women are for advancing the race, not for fighting men's battles." Here is the line I laughed the most at: "Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!"
