Plan 9 from Outer Space

£19.99

Released: 21st September 2026. Aliens threaten the world order as zombies stumble through graveyards in Ed Wood’s notorious sci-fi, honourably badged one of the worst films ever made. Now newly 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 cinema’s 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 Wood’s admirable devotion to filmmaking, despite his questionable talents.  Extras Restored by the BFI and presented in High Definition Bride of the Monster (1955, 70 mins): arguably Ed Wood’s most ambitious film sees a classic ‘mad scientist’ tale unfold in classic Wood style!
