District 9

Photobucket
"These aliens arrived 20 years ago in a dead, derelict mothership, which hovers above Johannesburg. It’s enormous, like the size of 10 football fields. The aliens have ended up in a Soweto-style township beneath the ship. It’s clear that they’re not really integrating into society. They like to scavenge things, rip up train tracks. So the authorities shift them 200 miles away, into the African belt. They’ve built a concentration camp." Peter Jackson


"District 9 is an upcoming science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp [...] based on Alive in Joburg [...].

Marketing for the film involves various viral campaigns. The official website for the film, D-9.com, is supposedly run by Multi-National United, an in-film company. When you first enter, you have two possible choices, either Human or Non-Human, and the content and tone of the website differs for each.

MNUSpreadsLies.com is a fictional blog run by a Non-Human equal rights advocate, arguing that Multi-National United is oppressing the Non-Human race." Wikipedia

Plan 9 from Outer Space



BELA LUGOSI

LYLE TALBOT

PRODUCED AND DIRECTED BY
EDWARD D. WOOD, JR.

" With its incoherent plot, jaw-droppingly odd dialogue, inept acting, threadbare production design, and special effects so shoddy that they border on the surreal, Plan 9 From Outer Space has often been called the worst movie ever made. But it's an oddly endearing disaster; boasting genuine enthusiasm and undeniable charm, it is the work of people who loved movies and loved making them, even if they displayed little visible talent. In Plan 9, alien invaders attempt to conquer the world by raising the dead, starting with an old man dressed in a Dracula costume (Lugosi [...] ), his much-younger and well-proportioned wife (Maila "Vampira" Nurmi), and a remarkably overweight police officer (Tor Johnson). Often funny and consistently entertaining (if almost always for the wrong reasons), Plan 9 From Outer Space is an anti-masterpiece if there ever was one, and as Criswell so brilliantly puts it, "Can you PROVE it didn't happen?!?" [...] " allmovie

My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space? " Plan 9 from Outer Space is a 1959 science fiction/horror film written, produced, and directed by Edward D. Wood, Jr..

[...] The film also claims to posthumously star Bela Lugosi through use of archive footage and a brief scene of the actor shot by Wood just before Lugosi's death in 1956, although Lugosi's character is primarily portrayed by chiropractor Tom Mason.

The plot of the film is focused on a race of extraterrestrial beings who are seeking to stop humans from creating a doomsday weapon that would destroy the universe. In the course of doing so, the aliens implement "Plan 9", a scheme to resurrect Earth's dead as zombies to get the planet's attention, causing chaos. " Wikipedia
