7/10
One of the hundreds of 'Alien' rip-offs, but creepy and effective
23 July 2011
Warning: Spoilers
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.
