Maybe it is that ‘bad’ is a term that has become so loosely applied that our critical terminology is not versatile enough to allow our stupid, stupid minds to stretch to the various shadings of bad.
How is it possible to call a film bad when that badness is something that is being enjoyed by its audience? The cult of bad films is something that perversely beggars questioning of exactly what bad means.
Conversely, rather than a black star rating, this site gives Plan 9 from Outer Space a four star (very good) rating. Plan 9 from Outer Space‘s legendary ineptitudes, the behind-the-scenes story and the lives of the people who made it have become the stuff of cult fascination. Plan 9 from Outer Space, the film acclaimed as the worst ever made, is a name that has become not only a genre joke but one that seems to represent every bad Z-budget science-fiction movie ever made.
