New Arrival Plan 9 From Outer Space (Region B)

Aliens threaten the world order as zombies stumble through graveyards in Ed Woods notorious sci-fi, honourably badged one of the worst films ever made.

Nownewly restored by the BFI National Archive, this infamous sci-fi film continues to fascinate, long after legions of terrible B movies have been forgotten, for its stark refusal to conform to cinematic language or convention. The unique brainchild of one of cinemas true outsiders.

Composed of wildly disparate plot elements, absurd performances, pathetic special effects, a complete lack of continuity and endless posthumously recycled shots of its star Bela Lugosi (filmed for another movie), Plan 9 From Outer Space is a one-of-a-kind experience that acts as a blissfully unaware self-satire of 50s sci-fi cinema and a tribute to Woods admirable devotion to filmmaking, despite his questionable talents.
