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.

Chicago Tribune
Many will find Apollo 18 silly and derivative. It is. Yet it's also a break from the usual hyperbolic, down-your-throat brand of silly and derivative scare movies. - 40
Variety
Despite stretches of skillfully sustained suspense, Apollo 18 ultimately comes across as little more than a modestly clever stunt. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Even if Apollo 18 is not exactly as it presents itself to be, it is less of a stunt than a low-key and unassuming film of rising tension rather than big scares or wild shocks. - 38
Boston Globe
Contains nothing original or over-the-top enough to make it a real scream fest. For most horror fans it will be kind of a snooze. - 33
Entertainment Weekly
Apollo 18 fails to stay with you because, like the cratered satellite on which it's set, it has no atmosphere. - 30
The Hollywood Reporter
Not only is this film's form clichéd, so is its content. - 20
Boxoffice Magazine
Apollo 18 is a drab horror that tries to plant fears about untrustworthy authority (Nixon, NASA, etc) that are as stale as a freeze-dried peas. - 20
Time Out
All Apollo 18 has to offer is endless radio crackle and visual incoherence. And what's out there, tormenting the astronauts? The answer is dumber than a box of moon rocks.
