Apollo 18 (2011)

“Found footage” horror sci-fi directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego. 

Three astronauts are sent on a secret Apollo mission, and the two men that land on the lunar surface find evidence of sinister alien life. 

Even though the aliens are essentially rock creatures, the film never turns silly. There’s a lot of threat and tension, made more extreme by the “authentically” fuzzy, distressed footage. 

It’s a little like a cross between The Blair Witch Project and Alien, but it's refreshingly different too.

The only criticism is that it’s never explained how the footage is recovered.
