This movie is debatably the worst film of all time!
From director Edward D. Wood Jr, come the cult classic Sci-fi thriller................more like sci-fi comedy.
Let me just say that this movie is so bad that it's good, there are so many errors that this makes for a great treat just to watch it.
Lets get to it, the plot involves aliens who are trying to stop the people of earth from inventing a bomb that could destroy the whole universe by resurecting the earths dead, and that's pretty much it, all thats left in the movie is a series of continuity errors and well, let me explain through some examples.
For starters one of the zombies is played by Bela Legosi who played Dracula in the 1931 movie "Dracula", but remember this movie was made in 1959, almost 2 years after his death, so how did Ed Wood make it work, well before hand Ed Wood shot silent footage of Legosi wondering around in his dracula cape just days before he died, footage of him walking out of his house and smelling the flowers, footage of him at funeral and thats about it, and then he incorporated those shot into the film and got his wifes cyropractor to fill in the role by covering his face with the cape, and throughout the movie it is so god damn obvious that it is not Bela Legosi.
One thing that was really weird and pointless was that the movie began with an introduction from Pshycic Criswel, now let me quote part of what he said "Future events such as these, will effect you in the future". Do I need to point out the total stupidity of this line, nope, didn't think so. He also narrartes over some of the film, but only the silent footage shot of Legosi and that is it, after a while you forget that he was even there and we he returns at the end of the film you realise how fucking pointless it was having him there in the first place.
Lets move on, every now and then the film would cut from footage shot in a studio and footage shot outside, just to say the footage shot in the studio look like noght time, and all the footage shot outside was filmed during the day so, whenever there would be a cut from studio to outside it would shift from day to night, now let me just say this happens a lot, and when it does you will be laughing your ass off.
All the actors in the film are just so fucking bad, let me give you an example of the worst actor in the movie, thank god he dies early in the film, woops spoiler. Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson plays a police officer would couldn't act to save his life, the only time he ever acts moderatly good is when he becomes a Zombie, why, because, HE NEVER TALKS!!! When he was alive you could not undertand a single fucking word he said, he just mumbled a lot and gets on your nerves and makes you laugh at the same time.
Then theres as funeral seen and the man playing the preist can't act either, you know what scratch that, the only person who can mildly act in this movie was Paul Marco as the cop Celton who is constantly confused and sometimes acts like an idiot, this has to be a comedy.
What else was there.......................... oh yeah there was a scene where the army attacks the flying saucers (Hubcaps on strings, lol) but all it is, is just stock footage of tanks and jeep shooting into the sky at either airoplanes or they were just testing or something.
There are so many memorable scenes in this movie that I could go on for ages but I am not going to let's just rap this up.
The whole movie has strange use of voice overs, bad acting, bad editing which cut out some diologue, weird special effects, strange use of stock footage, it begins like a really bad documentary and is more like a comedy than a thriller.
WHAT THE HELL!!!!

Fuck it.
