New on DVD & Blu-Ray : APOLLO 18 (2011)

Synopsis: Officially, Apollo 17, launched December 7, 1972, was the last manned mission to the moon. But two years later, in December of 1974, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the U.S. 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.


Genre: Horror, Thriller

Worldwide Box-Office: $25M

Number of Discs: 1 (DVD); 2 (DVD/Blu-Ray Combo + Digital Copy)

DVD & Blu-Ray Special Features :
  • Feature Commentary
  • Deleted and Alternate Scenes

What to Expect : A very modest spin on the found-tape subgenre. The moon-landing conspiracy premise has its merits, but it's undermined by boredom and a lack of genuinely scary moments. At times it feels like a found-tape version of "Red Planet" and, although I enjoyed the Val Kilmer sci-fi actioner, the comparison I just made is not meant to be a compliment.

Release Date : December 27, 2011

Run Time : 87 Min.

Studio/Distributor : The Weinstein Company

Rating : PG-13 for some disturbing sequences, and language.
