• Plan 9 From Outer Space | DVD | (23/02/2009) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  This is it! The most phenomenally popular cult classic ever the double Golden Turkey award winner: Worst Picture and Worst Director in the entire history of motion pictures. Immortalised in celluloid by the celebrated writer producer and director Edward D. Wood Jr. It's all here the infamous not-so-special effects as aliens in car-hop outfits invade Earth in paper flying saucers to implement the ninth plan of conquest (the first eight failed.) An army of zombies (well three actually) Vampira Tor Johnson and the legendary Bela Lugosi in his after death performance menace the world (Lugosi died five months after filming started so a local chiropractor took on the difficult Lugosi role). This truly original movie Ed Wood's 'Citizen Kane' is a hymn to all those who have ever tried to create something memorable and meaningful and failed miserably every step of the way.

  Cult director Jean Rollin's first feature mixes existentialism and vampirism with the added ingredient of chaos. Originally made as a short it was expanded to a feature length with the dead cast inexplicably returning to life half-way through (having been killed off at the end of the original). That said 'Le Viol du Vampire' is a masterpiece of the bizarre mixing blood a naked woman in a convertable coffins and some fencing semi-naked nymphs in a fragmented melee. When originally screened in Paris in 1968 the film caused a riot due to its' audacious imagery...
