There's a reason we've never gone back to the moon.

Overview

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.

A review by Sierbahnn

Very solid moon-scare
Found footage is always a bit of a hit and miss, and requires a conceit to work, within its own narrative. Why would you keep filming once the monsters come out?

Apollo 18 solves this problem gracefully, and lets you focus on the plight of the astronauts.

It is a great scare, full of little innovations and twists that I enjoy on every re-watch.

I highly recommend it, for all the little flaws it might have.
