The sci-fi thriller Apollo 18 is set to land on DVD and Blu-ray December 27th from Anchor Bay Entertainment and Dimension Films.

In the tradition of such blockbusters as The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity, Apollo 18 unearths alleged lost Department of Defense footage to construct a riveting story of the events that unfolded during this covert mission to the moon. 

Officially, Apollo 17, launched December 7, 1972, was the last manned mission to the moon.  But two years later, in December of 1974, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. 

What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission.  While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it’s the real reason we’ve never gone back to the moon.
 
The Apollo 18 Blu-ray and DVD bonus features include an audio commentary with director Gonzalo López-Gallego and editor Patrick Lussier, deleted and alternate scenes, alternate endings, among other bonus features to be confirmed.
