Apollo 18 (2011)

A secret NASA mission is the subject of this mockumentary horror film, and with all the government conspiracies abound, somehow it all seems plausible. The footage feels authentic and the desolate atmosphere of the moon and cramped quarters of the space capsule are the perfect claustrophobic remedy for this type of movie. When the horror elements finally come into play though, it all starts to get a little hokey.

Nothing new here. We've been down this road before.
