The Astounding She-Monster
A busty radioactive alien woman terrorizes a geologist, a socialite and three gangsters in a mountain cabin. Ronald Ashcroft’s 1957/1958 no-budget picture is inept in all departments, and provides audiences with little else than a chance to laugh at how bad it is. The poster is awesome, though. 1/10

Plan 9 from Outer Space
Ed Wood’s 1957 Magnum Opus is the epitomy of the so-bad-it’s-good movie. Far from the worst picture if all time, this is one of the most entertaining films in movie history, and unmistakingly a work of an auteur. 7/10

Bride of the Monster
Ed Wood’s 1955 schlocker is a love letter to the film’s star Bela Lugosi and the monster movies of the thirties, and as such it is quite charming, despite its ineptitude. And despite ill health, Lugosi is magnetic in his last first billing. 5/10
Scifist.
