Apollo 18 Lands On Blu-Ray And DVD This December

Apollo 18 Lands On Blu-Ray And DVD This December

It may have taken almost 40 years, but finally the truth has come out about Apollo 18's secret landing on the moon, and the tragic circumstances that followed. And that truth is...well, there was no Apollo 18, but it makes for a nice, intriguing concept, don't it? Firmly in the "found footage" vein of horror flicks such as The Blair Witch Project and the Paranormal Activity franchise, Apollo 18 takes the premise of a secret, covered-up moon landing and uses it as an excuse to "explain" why we've never gone back to the moon....

Final Apollo 18 Trailer Gives Us The Most Plot We've Seen Yet

By now we know that Apollo 18 follows two astronauts on a secret mission to the moon. But of course, whoever sent them there left out the scary stuff, like they knew that Russia had inexplicably lost a cosmonaut up there, and that something was up there with them....

Two New Clips From Apollo 18 Keep The Mystery Alive

A found footage film about a secret NASA mission that we aren't supposed to know about, the movie has astronauts being terrorized by something on the surface of the moon, but we have no idea what. Is it aliens? Is it ghosts? Is it a government conspiracy? Is it someone's mother-in-law?...

New Poster For Found Footage Horror Film Apollo 18

New Poster For Found Footage Horror Film Apollo 18

I'm not a huge fan of found footage films, but I'm happy to admit that the first theatrical trailer for Gonzalo López-Gallego's Apollo 18 sent a few chills down my spine. The subgenre works best when operating in spooky, isolated environments like the woods of The Blair Witch Project and the moon makes for an awesome setting....

Apollo 18 Trailer: It's Paranormal Activity On The Moon

The fact that it's yet another found footage horror movie doesn't necessarily mean it won't be scary-- I'd be freaked out if I were an astronaut on the moon and saw a strange shadow go by my window-- but it doesn't make it seem all that original...

Weinsteins Move Apollo 18 To Death Spot Of Early January

Weinsteins Move Apollo 18 To Death Spot Of Early January

That date, a little over a year after the move started filming, is obviously more logical, but the first week in January spot is also a kiss of death, pretty much the closest you can get to a guarantee that a movie will be terrible. Not that anyone had particularly high expectations for Apollo 18...

Apollo 18 Trailer Reveals Why We Never Went Back To The Moon

Apollo 18 Trailer Reveals Why We Never Went Back To The Moon

The first trailer for Apollo 18 has arrived, a movie so veiled in secrecy that the Weinstein Company still hasn’t revealed the cast. The film is structured as though it’s found footage, as if this is the documenting of real events which occurred during a secret, eighteenth Apollo mission. Apollo 17 was America’s official last trip to Luna, but what if there were secretly another? And what if that secret mission were the reason we’ve never gone back?...

Timur Bekmambetov Uncovers Secret Space Missions With Apollo 18

The press release from the Weinstein Company doesn't explain how any of this is possible, because it's working with the gambit that the film is not a narrative at all, but based on "Russian film footage"...
