The Dark Side of the Moon
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 rapidly running out of fuel and oxygen. They are surprised to discover a NASA space shuttle floating in space, and board it in the hope of salvaging some supplies. One by one, the crew is possessed and killed, and it is up to Paxton Warner to find the links between the dark side of the moon, the Bermuda Triangle, and the Devil himself.
Why it matters
A cult-flavored sci-fi horror that mixes cosmic dread with ’80s paranoia and a dash of Devil worship — a curious relic of genre mashups.
- Practical effects and claustrophobic sets capture the era’s low-budget space terror vibe.
- Delivers a slow-burn atmosphere with occasional jolts, blending lunar isolation and supernatural possession.
- For fans of late Cold War sci-fi horror and offbeat cult curiosities rather than polished scares.
- Connects lunar mystery with Bermuda Triangle folklore, tapping into conspiracy obsession as a cultural anxiety.
