In fairness, combining science fiction, horror, and mockumentary creepiness isnt a terrible idea.

Unpleasant when it isnt dull, Apollo 18 never sells the lost footage illusion, and never compensates for it with scares.Jolts, sure.

Apollo 18 could have been an awesome movie; instead, it settles for mildly entertaining with an interesting ending.

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.

Has no thrills, no chills, no scares and contains a villain, or several of them, actually, that will turn you to stone from boredom.

Even with effective atmosphere, a couple of jump scares and a spooky premise, Apollo 18 simply falls apart in the end.

Unfortunately Apollo 18 proves that not every found footage scenario can deliver an entertaining time at the theater.
Screen Rant

Its a conspiracy theory pandering film that merely reconfirms that most entries in the found footage horror subgenre should remain lost.

Less concerned with depth and more about the strict skillfulness of capturing an increasingly queasy tone and mood. This is where it works.

Its a fun, clever thought experiment, but not one thats going to leave you shivering late at night the way a good horror film should.

It captures the visual style of the found footage genre, but fails to capture its impact thanks to an inherently flawed idea.
