Apollo 18: The Dark Horror On The Moon

One of 2011's finest Horror films and a great example of a mediacore found footage film. Apollo 18 is a great Horror film that has the right amount of style and suspense as most found footage films and it is better than the other found footage films like Amityville Haunting, Gacy House and Paranormal Entity but this film stays true to other found footage films like Paranormal Activity, The Poughkeepsie Tapes and The Tunnel along with REC and it's remake Quarantine although this film is not nearly as good as the other found footage film The Devil Inside. Apollo 18 is a great Horror film with the right amount of style and it has a lot of good moments and this movie has everything for a found footage Horror film. The actors do a good job with they're roles in the film some of them aren't shallow and unlikable and the performances is neat and clean for the most part.

What I like about the film:
Apollo 18 is a clever movie like I said the film has the right kind of style as most found footage films. What I do love about Apollo 18 is that the camera work of the film is amazing and awesome and the film looks more like an actual footage than a movie itself because the camera work is very clever and really good. The editing by My Bloody Valentine Director Patrick Lussier is very clever and resourceful which makes the movie look good. The film is full of atmospheric sequences from the beginning until the end everything is just good and perfect from the settings to the atmosphere and it really makes you feel like your in the moon after all. I also enjoy the pacing of the film it's kinda slow but never boring overall. The film is also full of suspenceful scenes(The dead cosmonaut, The Infection, The camouflaged spider like alien creatures and the lunar rover)that makes you want to watch more of the film until the end.

The downside of the film:
There are some things I just didn't like about this film the weak looking CGI spider like alien creatures. The ending and a couple of problems with the pacing of the film in which the movie is sometimes thin and problematic in most parts so far.

Apollo 18 is one of the finest Horror films of 2011. So far Director Gonzalo Lopez Gallego and writer Brian Miller makes a mediacore Horror film that normally has a lot of good moments and they're work in the film is neat and tight I have to say so far. Overall Apollo 18 is a great Horror documentary film with the right kind of style and sometimes worth a watch for any Horror fan.
