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.

Boredom sets in long before the last muted shriek. And who cares about the astros? We never get to know them anyway.

For most horror fans it will be kind of a snooze.

The source of the creepy events, when it's finally revealed, is profoundly dull, like a forgettable episode of The X-Files or Fringe.

The film takes a startlingly long time to rev up, and even at less than 90 minutes feels thin and at moments like it is playing for time.
