Apollo 18 trailer

Yeah, but that one doesn't really count since they never actually went to the Moon.You can still find the 13th on DVD.I haven't seen any of the first seventeen on DVD or anything. Are they out of print? Is Dimension really going to release a sequel to a series without putting out new DVDs of the previous entries?
Neither did the first 10.
Looks like a pre-credits sequence to an average X-Files episode.
I'm not a fan of dudes get infected and go berserk premises. I think it would have been much more interesting to have a classic grey alien skulking around outside whilst the dudes in the spaceship shit themselves.

Not to mention "Sunshine" that was a science fiction/horror/action film. I didn't think the horror elements worked personally but we shall see. I'm looking forward to seeing this as I mentioned. This script had some minor buzz when it was being shopped around so we'll see if it can become another "Paranormal Activity".

Sorry but I own the DVD..

so it's a SEQUEL!!
This looks like it could be cool. I'd rather it be more SF than Horror, but it could work. I like the idea that the Russians are there, and I'm intrigued by the decayed bodies in the dirt-- what would make a body decay on the Moon? I wonder if it will be something indigenous or something from another planet. Or maybe the descendants of scientists who went there in the 1890s using Cavorite.

That's true, and I also enjoyed Event Horizon (scared me crapless for a week
). I guess lately I've been looking for much more positive science fiction, and horror goes in the opposite direction.I haven't seen any of the first seventeen on DVD or anything.

This is a spoiler, but... they brought back Kevin Bacon for this one. He's the surprise villain.
Nah, it's actually Tom hanks
No, it's Gary Sinise, because he didn't get to go the last time.

How could you be scared for a week when the mismatched loud techno music at the end credits would've taken you completely out of the moment?

Actually, Apollos 8, 10 and 13 did go to the Moon and orbited it. They just didn't land.
In the 50's and 60's "Horror Movie" and "Science Fiction Movie" were practically synonymous. Nowadays, SF is associated more with Action than Horror, but Horror and SF do have a closely related history. Heck, Frankenstein is sometimes even considered to be the first SF novel.I'm not too interested in it. When I read the title, I was surprised and hopeful to find a science fiction movie, only to find it's a horror movie. I don't know why they put those together in the same breath.
That's true-- even high-class SF movies like Forbidden Planet have Horror elements. Pretty much the only way to get pure Hard SF is to go to the literature.

I love classic sci-fi horror, I guess I'm speaking more about how in this film age we skew more toward SF horror (gratuitous horror). I'd like to see positive science fiction onscreen (and in books).
Really? I never considered Forbidden Planet to be horror. If that's the case, then The Day The Earth Stood Still would be horror as well. Hm. I guess I don't consider it horror, but certainly the audiences of the day would. I'm not sure pure SF is possible, but something positive would be nice. It's what attracted me to Star Trek. Surely there's more than that in the positive message sci-fi genre.
Forbidden Planet is definitely sci-fi/ horror, I mean an invisible monster comes out and night to kill and can't be stopped by conventional means, that the monster is the id of a rational man only enhances this notion.
I love Event Horizon, and yeah some of that love if for what it might have been (and on the special edition DVD Anderson goes into detail about how they wanted to do more, but the studio insisted they have the film finished by a specific date so they had no time to finesse the story or add various bits in)

Meh - not much into the horror aspect - was kind of hoping this would be a "Hey, look! Alien base on the Moon..." - but iit seems more like the 'Alien' variety (and I liked 'Alien' a lot, one of my favorite science fiction films); but this just seems like another grade B Zombie/Monster flick with a gimmick hook to try and get audiences in theatre seats.
Feel the same way. Kind of a let down.
I already skipped Pandorum because of this.
Read a story synopsis: astronauts go into hypersleep for a long journey, and when they awake they have no memories of who they are and what their mission is (kinda like that one TNG episode). "Pretty cool", I thought to myself, reading further: Then they discover the horrifying truth: zombies are terrorizing the ship.
YA-fucking-AWN!
