Review of Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)
UFOs are visiting Earth in an attempt to prevent sunlight from exploding all over the universe.
Legendary kitsch, directed by Ed Wood and featuring Bela Lugosi until he died, and then some. Narrated like a documentary and with nary a retake in sight, it is still more competently made than “Manos”: The Hands of Fate (1966). In particular, the seriousness of Plan 9 as an effort adds to its charm.
