About
You may like this if you enjoy found-footage horror with a claustrophobic, isolated feel and a secret-mission premise; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a more polished sci-fi horror like The Cloverfield Paradox or Phoenix Forgotten.
Pros: eerie moon setting; strong tension; convincing period feel | Cons: slow pacing; thin characters; uneven payoff
