Do Movie Viewers Believe in 'Apollo 18?'

Often the truth is more terrifying than the lies. What better way to simulate this in a horror movie than taking fiction and passing it off as non-fiction? While it sounds easy enough, you need source material convincing enough to fool a large sum of people with enough wriggle room to make something entertaining instead of mundane. "Apollo 18" has the potential to perfectly combine a plot of fictional terror with the real-life events surrounding the canceled moon operation. How do Tennessee viewers feel about this mockumentary?

"I've been dying to see this movie for a good while. I love space movies- especially horror ones. They set the mood perfectly with the conveyed vastness and emptiness of the setting. The creepy atmospheric elements were highly impressive!" -- Milo Parker, 24, Bartlett

"The parasitic aliens were really disturbing. I could totally see them inhabiting the moon and slaughtering whole crews. Awesome movie." -- Pamela Rodriguez, 22, Fraser

"Time is running out- NASA needs to do something and fast! No, totally kidding. I know it was all a mock-up, but my younger siblings were completely fooled. My sister had to be carried out of the theater crying by my dad. Poor kid. It was a cool movie though. They really made it seem real." -- Sammy Cole, 18, Memphis

"I want to begin by saying that I love this format. It's so cool when movies inject that layer of realism in by making it seem like legitimately recorded footage. I doubt there'll be a sequel, but we really need more films like this. It was scary enough, believe me. I'm praying nothing like that really exists. For a minute I caught myself wondering if this was really why they stopped the Apollo missions." -- Nathan Winter, 21, Memphis

"I was bored from the get-go. Who thought this would be more than a cure for insomnia? There's no plot development, just a severe need to suspend disbelief. I looked over to the left and saw plenty of tools actually getting into the swing of it. Sad." -- Wyatt Jones, 45, Memphis

"I went and saw this on a whim and was surprised to see it wasn't a conventional movie. I was expecting to see space marines shooting tentacle monsters or something. Imagine how shocked I was when I saw the gritty, plausible cinematography. The day went from good to great!" -- Luther Perez, 35, Memphis

"When my eyes weren't on my boyfriend, they were on a pretty uneventful movie. The lame premise demands too much attention. I barely followed what was going on after I realized the parasites weren't scary at all." -- Tiffany Adams, 24, Collierville

"Did they expect people to buy into this? It looks totally faked. Half the time the details are exaggerated to the point of failing at realism. It's an intriguing idea, but I found it to be poorly executed cinematically." -- Amber Barton, 37, Raleigh
