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.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Dark side of the moon is a very very bad movie. The acting is poor and the special effects are even worse. Many mistakes made which started in scene 1 when a huge, and I mean a enormous ship disappears behind the moon. That ship must be the size of a small moon, but when they approach it, it's about the same size as the ship they are on. Second mistake was the satellite shooting a rocket from earths orbit to the ship in orbit around the moon, and it takes just a second to reach. Then the interior of the space shuttle seems like the size of the death star. The only spaces in the shuttle are the flight deck, lower deck and cargo bay. Then the guy in the airlock while it detach, he should be frozen and dead.The story is great and it would've been a great movie if the actors were good and the director wasn't a second rank idiot with a camera at his finger tips.A shame, and hopefully one of the real studios will take the effort to make a remake.

When watching Sci-Fi movies, there is a certain level of disbelief that comes into play. But even then, there should be basic 'rules'. Here the director didn't even follow science rules that literally a first-second grader would know was incorrect. Example:'When you are outside the spacecraft, and not in a space suit, you cannot breathe' "When someone is infected with something, and you know they are infected, you quarantine them. You do not merely put them in a room, unwatched, and everyone can come and go as they please"(this is even after the first discovered death) "Have a computer android built like a porn star dressed in leather(not making this up), who has access to every piece of data stored on any computer, anytime, including missing viking ships from 3,000 years ago, yet no one thought about rewinding the video feed to see how someone was killed in the medical lab"I could go on and on. That's not being picky, or requesting common sense, or whining that someone has the wrong accent, just blatant disregard for the audience. The two things the movie had going for it was it creepiness, and neat plot line as to what was going on, shame it was wasted. If you are remotely a thinker in any type of way, you will hate this movie. If you are a non-thinker and looking for mindless drivel, it may actually work.

The film has given me at first the question if he is older the Alien1. By watching him was it that he had given me much amusement about his gigs lets look;the Discovery inner is no weightlessness,what had given him submarine-film flair.there was also something on the name Micheal Gutier that was personal conform to me... At all a interesting film for a lone weekend,i cant say something really negative about.What a interesting part for me was that the Music was to me in the kind off Bladeruner,what make that film more likely to me,the color resonance was a Little lam,i will say it looks like he is made on 1970 film material,to me a not real bride colorfully.It is wonderful to work on pink green and yellow neon lighting keyboard under back light in a Submarie or a else control center the people like to see that.

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.
