Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia(at around 52 mins) As Cdr. Walker's mental condition worsens, he mutters "Fate has ordained the men who went to the Moon to explore in peace remain on the Moon to rest in peace." This line paraphrases the beginning of a contingency speech, drafted by speech writer William Safire in a memo entitled "In Event of Moon Disaster," which was intended to be delivered by President Richard Nixon in the event that the Apollo 11 astronauts were stranded on the lunar surface without hope of rescue.
- Goofs(at around 1 min) In footage of the pre-flight barbecue at Ben's, one of the guests is shown twisting the cap off a beer bottle. Twist-off caps were not available in the mid-70s.
CORRECTION: Actually, twist tops were first used by a major American brewing company, Schlitz, in 1975. It is possible that it was used by other brewers earlier than that. www.upthirst.com/when-did-beer-bottles-get-twist-tops/

Featured review
Intelligently made, this film combines camera-work similar to that used in Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield. Simplistic in its plot, the film really does boast some very frightening, nail-biting scenes. Not for the faint hearted, it also amplifies the smallest and most rational of fears into something chilling and blood-curdlingly frightening, playing on the fear that something is wrong, something is out there.
Although the film has its faults, namely near the end when the viewer is unsure as to which person's camera is being used, this can add to the feel of the film, reflecting the mindset of the equally disorientated characters.
The film could be slightly more emotional than it is, but it is after all a horror.
Leaving you with something to think about at the end gives the film an edge that makes you remember it for a while after.
If you liked Paranormal Activity or Cloverfield, then this film is definitely for you, giving you a good dose of mind-jolting jumps when you least expect them. This film is definitely worth the watch and will have you jumping out of your skin.
