The movie is a masterpiece. A sense of humor is required.
The story, involves what happens when a group of space aliens visits our planet. The aliens have a diabolical plan: raise corpses from the dead and have the ghouls go after the living.
You will see a full-on saucer invasion of Hollywood. Made by Ed Wood, who never let being unable to afford a project stop him from making it. This masterpiece includes horror star Bela Lugosi. Lugosi plays a grief-stricken man mourning for his late wife (Vampira, because of course Bela Lugosi would be married to a woman who dresses like a vampire).
Plan 9 from Outer Space has been in the public domain for more than 15 years, which means that finding a copy isn't hard. There are "restorations" as well and at least one that's colorized!
Some of the best dialogue you'll ever find is contained in this movie. For example. Someone asked a police officer where the aliens came from. The police officer replies "Space". The man asks again, "Where in space?" The police officer response "Outer Space".
Plan 9 from Outer Space should be mandatory viewing for any serious student of film.
