Retro Sci-fi Film They Came from the Ether Is Suitably Cheesy

If, like the rest of the human race, you’re still appalled by the news of the shameless Plan 9 from Outer Space remake, then here’s something to wash away the bad taste.
They Came from the Ether, from director James Pronath, who was responsible for the 2009 horror flick Horrid, is an upcoming sci-fi movie which pays homage to the original Plan 9 and all the other classic sci-fi B-movies without being a remake of anything. As you can see from the trailer, it sure as hell gets the homage part right.
Homage. Not remake. It’s coming to DVD on March 8 (pre-order from Amazon), and given this and the new version of Plan 9, I know which version I’d rather watch.
Synopsis:
John Henry, a down on his luck salesman, is given a chance to succeed when alien visitors arrive and coerce him into helping with their human experiments in exchange for technology that will radically change John’s life. Blinded by his ambition, John inadvertently opens a doorway in which the aliens can realize their sinister goals of controlling the human race. As more and more people vanish, it’s left to Missing Persons Detective Mike Washburn to get to the bottom of things in this 1950s style sci-fi thriller.
