The Dark Side of the Moon

In 2022, the six-man crew Spacecore is sent to fix a nuclear satellite in the Earth orbit. Out of the blue, the spaceship has a breakdown and runs out of power and oxygen to crash on the dark side of the moon. However, they find the NASA space shuttle Discovery stranded and they dock the ship with Spacecore. They explore the shuttle and bring the body of Michael C. Gotier (Ken Lesco) on board and the supply of oxygen to survive. But soon they learn that Gotier is the host of some strange force that possesses each one of them. Further, there is a connection between the Bermuda Triangle, the dark side of the moon and this force that is the devil himself.

"The Dark Side of the Moon" is a kind of rip-off "Alien" associated to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, the dark side of the moon and the Devil. The plot and the film itself is not bad and entertains. The conclusion is good and the idea of the android (instead of "Hall") is great. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "O Lado Sombrio da Lua" ("The Dark Side of the Moon")

I watched this movie on TUBI it's freaky and actually SPOOKY

I have seen this movie twice and although the actual plot could be deemed as a little far fetched, it really works.

Basically, after a systems failure a ship gets trapped upon the darkside of the moon, where all kinds of weird goings on begin to take place as slowly the crew members are picked off one by one by an unseen assailant/assailants.

The actual film idea itself is excellent and it really does use darkness in the film for the right reasons and as always, desolate space ships make excellent places for horror to hide round every unlit little corner. Add the fact that there is nowhere to run and the horrible feeling of claustrophobia and you have a gem of a move that is slick, doesn't seem over-produced and has a genius idea of a story running through its core.

It is nice to see a film made to scare and not to shock.

This movie scared me senseless some ten years ago when I watched it with a friend! Thus I had no reason at all not to see it now that I got the opportunity to watch it again!

My opinion of it now, ten years later? Well, of course it is not at all as scary, but it is not that bad! I've seen several space-thrillers not getting anywhere close to this one. Nice claustrophobic atmosphere through the entire movie and an ending not too predictable!

If you're bored and want something to watch to pass time, this is a very good choice in my opinion.

It is the year 2022. A mysterious systems failure causes the crew of a spaceship to be stranded on the dark side of the moon...

While this is by no means one of the great science fiction films of our generation, it is unfortunately not easily obtained (although it is on Netflix). Some concepts here are rather clever, most notably the idea of bringing together the Bermuda Triangle and space travel... and then, even throwing in Satanic references, and still having it all make some kind of sense.

The gore was also quite good, though I was confused by the robot (Lesli). I understand she is sort of like the ship's computer and there to answer questions, and I think that makes sense (it sure seems to be common enough in science fiction). But I was confused why she had to be humanoid rather than just built in to the ship. If all she does is sit and talk, why have legs or arms, or even a face?
