Screen Anarchy reviewed the film, stating that "Plan 9 can stand on its own as a cheesy B-movie and it goes down well with friends, beer and pizza in tow, in a double bill with its forefather. For a no-budget amateurish production, the original has earned a place in history that actually merits remakes. Ed Wood would definitely approve."[9] Glenn Cochrane of Scream magazine also reviewed Plan 9, writing "PLAN 9 has its moments but they’re few and far between and with an inconsistent pitch and a lacklustre delivery it proves to be a disjointed and uninspiring exploit of a B-movie classic."[10]Dread Central rated the film at 3 1/2 stars, commenting that "There is no point to the existence of Plan 9 other than to make fans of the original Plan 9 from Outer Space smile ear-to-ear in appreciation."[11]
