Joel Brown, Boston Globe: For most horror fans it will be kind of a snooze. Read more

Keith Staskiewicz, Entertainment Weekly: Apollo 18 fails to stay with you because, like the cratered satellite on which it's set, it has no atmosphere. Read more

Mike Hale, New York Times: Accomplishes something the world wasn't really crying out for: it recreates the tedium of watching the later Apollo missions. Read more

David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: It's 80 minutes of dead air. Read more

Keith Phipps, AV Club: Make no mistake, Apollo 18 is a *terrible* movie. Read more

Eric D. Snider, Film.com: The source of the creepy events, when it's finally revealed, is profoundly dull, like a forgettable episode of The X-Files or Fringe. Read more

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: This space-set, "found footage" horror flick never lifts off. Read more

Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times: The film takes a startlingly long time to rev up, and even at less than 90 minutes feels thin and at moments like it is playing for time. Read more

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: Has no thrills, no chills, no scares and contains a villain, or several of them, actually, that will turn you to stone -- from boredom. Read more

Jordan Riefe, TheWrap: Read more

Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Boredom sets in long before the last muted shriek. And who cares about the astros? We never get to know them anyway. Read more

Joe Leydon, Variety: Despite stretches of skillfully sustained suspense, Apollo 18 ultimately comes across as little more than a modestly clever stunt. Read more

Nick Schager, Village Voice: Reconfirms that most entries in the "found-footage" horror subgenre should remain lost. Read more
