Simply Perfect

Overrated and overhyped

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This incorporates many ideas directly lifted from 'Alien', and juxtaposes them along with some invigorating themes dealing with the biblical Antichrist and The Bermuda Triangle. Combine this with a harrowing sense of doom and ambiance, and you have yourself a genuinely scary sci-fi/horror flick. The year is 2022, and its your standard "terror in space" set-up as the crew of a maintenance and repair spaceship experiences a power failure which causes the vessel to drift toward the dark side of the moon (hence the title). They discover what appears to be an abandoned space shuttle, and after boarding it, thats when they encounter such horrors as; demonic possessions, mutilated bodies and murder conspiracies. All of this ties together with the incarnation of pure evil and the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, and its done with a sense of technical proficiency. Performances range from fair to good, and the same with the b-movie quality production, but its intriguing concept and creepy mood raise it above par from most of these 'Alien' imitations.

What does the Bermuda Triangle, the dark side of the moon, and the Lord of Darkness have in common? If you really want to know, seek out this little obscure sci-fi gem about a ship which begins to malfunction when it gets caught in some sort of gravitational pull. This certain section on the moon called Centrus B 40 is the location for which the Spacecore vessel seems to be heading. Spacecore is a ship with a crew whose job is to fix nuclear armed satellites. As the crew are heading towards the Centrus B 40, they encounter an older model NASA ship which seems to be operational. The malfunctions on the Spacecore have shut down the oxygen so the air is slowly leaving while cold air begins to exceed. This NASA ship just might be a savior for them in disguise. They discover that this ship has air that will provide them with oxygen so the airlock is necessary. Something, however, is on that ship{Discovery 18, to be exact}and it will awaken true terror. They find a dead man on board the Discovery ship named Gotier and there's a triangular hole around his stomach. Soon, the crew will discover what was buried within the Discovery vessel and the film really begins to grow bizarre. Will Bledsoe portrays Giles Stewart, the officer who uncovers unpleasant truths regarding where the Discovery actually comes from, not to mention the dead NASA flight officer. As Giles digs, the Spacecore begins to experience odd occurrences in system malfunctions and something sinister lies within Gotier's body..it will show that no one is safe from a force of evil that can only come from he who is the ultimate symbol of it. This film has a story that might induce laughter or eye-rolling, but if you are willing to give in and understand that this is an entertainment which is highly original and is willing to combine unusual elements into a cohesive whole. It takes several leaps in logic to provide eerie chills and the director is very good at creeping the viewer with those who appear from the dark. What lies within Gotier and how it effects everyone on board the Spacecore, not to mention what mysteries lie within the Discovery builds as the story continues. A good cast helps and the ending is quite a jaw dropper.

It had been many years since I first saw this movie. Probably about 15 years, but I remember the premise was genuinely freaky and a few scenes stained themselves in my head. Finally after all these years I just got done watching the movie and had to sit through the credits to realize that the movie had ended.The plot is that it is 2024 and a spaceship is out by the moon. A team is doing their normal routine when they have a power failer. This causes for the ship to not supply them with oxygen. So while they are trying to fix the problem a ship appears out of nowhere that is 30 years old and lands itself in front of them. Apparently the old ship is still functioning and they decide to use the oxygen supply from that ship and that is where everything starts to go wrong.I was struck with this weird feeling after the movie was over and I wasn't sure whether or not I liked this movie. It took me about 10 minutes of thinking about this film before I realized that it was really good. The story is good, the acting is good, and the ending is incredibly creepy. I would have to recommend this movie to fans of both horror and sci fi because it really was a very good melding of both styles. In a way, I can see where Event Horizon may have got some of its ideas. 8/10 stars

It's definitely a b-movie, but one with an original and intriguing idea. Original enough, apparently, to be borrowed by a handful of more well-known sci-fi movies - most notably Event Horizon, which is practically the same movie with a bigger budget (and minus the Bermuda Triangle). It's dark, disturbing and puts an unusual a twist on what initially seems like a standard sci-fi storyline - ship stranded on the dark side of the moon, no power, running out of air, people being mysteriously disemboweled. It's filmed in such a way that the images stick with you long after it's over, especially the ending. Of course you have to suspend your disbelief and ignore the ridiculous hairstyles, but if you like low-budget sci-fi/horror films, it's a lost classic.
