Considered by many to be the worst film ever made, Ed Wood Jr.’s Plan 9 From Outer Space has become a cult hit. I’ve never seen the film, after multiple attempts I’ve only managed to see twenty minutes of it, but who am I to begrudge millions of adoring fans?
When earlier this week I spotted a trailer for a remake, I bookmarked it to look at when I had some more time and this morning, I decided to give it a shot. I was expecting to see a bad re-make of a bad film but instead, director John Johnson has taken Wood Jr.’s script and, if the trailer is accurate, created a serious and surprisingly proficiently made film. Plan 9 looks like it has some great potential.
If like me, you have no idea what the original is about, it’s a zombie-like story about aliens who come to earth and reanimate the dead in an effort to overthrow the living.
I’m curious to check it out. For once, the remake looks better than the original!
Trailer is tucked under the seat!
