Apollo 18 Synopsis

Officially, Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later in 1973, three American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.

Close up, intense and extremely claustrophobic. It's the type of horror mockumentry that I love. If you're not into old style blackbox film, don't watch it. If you're the type to not watch slower intro sequences maybe skip this one.

71/100 Presented as the unauthorized release of footage of the top secret Apollo 18 mission to the moon that didn't go very well. Being as this had low ratings, I wasn't expecting much and I was pleasantly surprised. This is an anxious little creepfest that had some truly tense and shocking moments. I think they effectively made it look like footage from 1973 and it felt very authentic right down to the equipment, the cinematography and the manner of conversation. And when panic starts to set in, it felt personal, genuine and you really cared about these guys. Good film! -- DrNostromo.com
