Apollo 18 (2011)
If you buy in to official statements, Apollo 17 was NASA's last manned mission to the moon. But what if found footage of a secret Apollo mission that had taken place the following year could prove otherwise -- and explain why we haven't gone back?

Simple but effective. Found footage from the moon is something of a novel approach to the mockumentary horror genre and from a production standpoint they do everything to near perfection. The story gets us to the moon surprisingly quickly without a lot of fluff. For fans of space horror overall we've been left wandering in the desert so this is more akin to cactus water than carbonated spring water but it gets the job done.

Visually, the filmmakers were spot on in their presentation. Unfortunately, poor editing nullifies all attempts at maintaining some semblance of suspense, horror, and well...goodness. What I learned from this movie: in Soviet Russia, the moon lands on you.

I hate the found footage concept, but this time the story is well paced and constructed. Much hate is guided toward the problem of retrieving the found footage, but seriously this is a sci fi horror flick... Who cares!!?

I have to say, I really enjoyed the presentation. The makers really nailed that 60's + on the moon style. It's too bad the content is really lacking. Once the antagonists are revealed the whole thing collapses like a house of (space) cards. Still, I appreciated the effort.

I enjoy the found footage style. Aside from a bit of obvious bad Hollywooding, I think that aspect of the movie really succeeds, and it does a lot of little things right. It gets the atmosphere and cinematography spot-on, it lays out the characters without delving too much into any one individual (I usually prefer more development, but here it really works), it had suspense and scares... I dunno, I'm not sure where the hate comes from. I enjoyed myself. Bear in mind, I'm forgiving to this genre.

Welcome to the year 1999 when pseudo-documentary films were still a somewhat fun horror concept. Blair Witch Project in space etc.. there's not much more to say than that. The space flight/moon footage is interesting conceptually but it's too bad this relies so much on horror jump cuts and sells itself short with gimmick student film editing. When you find out that they are being pursued by space rocks it's all the goofier.

Very, very dumb, but it's not TERRIBLE, mostly thanks to the effort the filmmakers went to to make it period-appropriate. The moon monsters were dumb, but the low visual quality added to their B-movie effects. On the verge of being watchable.

Did I really want to watch a mockumentary with bad cinematography? Ok, I get it, this is supposed to be the lost Apollo mission, but come on, can't they make something better than this? There may be a few moonwalk conspiracy theorists out there who will love this movie, but I definitely did not. I feel sorry for the actors who put so much effort into this, as it was doomed from the start. Points are given for the effort, but not so much for the result.

Paranormal activity goes to space.

This unfairly dismissed horror flick is naturally less interested in Cold War insight or perfect scientific accuracy and more about the command of capturing an exceeding feel of dread. And there are a couple of moments here that are as hair-raising as anything in Blair Witch or Paranormal Activity. Creating the look of 16mm film from the '70s, the moon's surface has never felt this close and real, not in the same first-hand, doc-style way.
