Brain Waste from Outer Space

1992 · 13 min

A scrappy, homemade homage that plays like a gleeful amateur fever dream, more charmingly ramshackle than frightening.

Overview: This was my first attempt at making a movie. It was unabashedly inspired by Edward D. Wood Jr.'s Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959), one of the culprits in making me want to write increasingly meaningless scripts (the other is Jesus Franco). Until the second order, the 20-minute copy of this film, which was never edited, is lost.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, eerie and satirical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Isolation, madness, death, science
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
