Plan 9 From Outer Space, written and directed by Ed Wood, is considered one of the worst movies ever. Yet despite the campy special effects, less than straightforward plot, and questionable acting, today it shines as a cult classic.
Holywood has changed significantly in the 66 years since Plan 9 was released. Superhero films hit us from every angle. Star Wars has become a former shell of its once epic empire. We’ve even gotten to the point that Warner Brothers is ready to redo Harry Potter and take us back to the world of Hogwarts despite only being 12 years since we saw the downfall of Voldemort.
While Hollywood continues to focus on big pictures and drawing in larger audiences, I want to use this blog to review smaller films that most will never see or even possibly hear of. With my love for sci-fi and horror, I will only focus on those two genres. I hope that through this blog, people can expand their horizons and disappear into a world where maybe things aren’t quite so serious, and they can remember that it’s OK to have fun and laugh at the movies.
