Wood, Jr., writer, producer, director, known transvestite, lover of angora sweaters, and the self-proclaimed master of "suspension of disbelief"? A man who loved movies and loved making movies, even though he wasn't very good at it. Who better to school us all in how not to make a movie than the grand cheese master himself, Edward D. Every movie Troma Films has ever made.Īnd this week, we're looking at the granddaddy of them all. People not only love them, but make them cult classics and recommend them to friends. They're been called guilty pleasures, unintentional comedies, and have sometimes been considered art films. It's the unnatural phenomenon where a film is just so inept, so terrible, so incompetent on every imaginable level that it somehow transcends all logic and criticism and actually becomes quite entertaining. Then there is that special kind of bad movie, the "so bad it's good" type of turkey. Some movies exist only to insult your intelligence, diminish your sanity, and suck your very will to live. Some movies are torturous to sit through in ways that violate the Geneva Conventions. Some movies are made by directors and film crews with dim outlooks on life and low opinions of humanity. Some movies are made with the sole intent to cause physical and mental pain to its audience. There are bad movies, and then there are bad movies. "Plan 9 from Outer Space", 1959, directed by Edward D.
