Memories of this Film SPOILERS!!!

It has been many years since I have seen this film. The last time I saw it it was probably when it was released on video. Unfortuanitly, I haven't seen it since but I remember thinking the movie was pretty damn scary. I remember that this crew becomes shipwrecked on the dark side of the moon and that certain people are becoming possessed and that they have (if I remember correctly) triangles burned on their chests. I also seem to remember that everyone dies at the end and that the last shots you see in the movie are all the ships that got lost in the Bermuda Triangle some how made it to the moon. Weird stuff. Love to find a copy of this movie. Anyone else find this movie to be creepy?

You might want to put some spoiler warnings in the title, you know...

Sorry about that. When I get to typing sometimes I just don't think. I will look out for that next time.

I saw this at a 'Shock Around the Clock' horror film festival in London in 1991. Must have been about 1pm, after a 12am start - and even with no sleep in a grungy cinema with crappy toilets it still made an impression!! It creeped me out big time and I loved the ending, just the sort of weirdness I was into at the time. The acting was ok and while the movie is a little slow, it was very atmospheric I remember. The main scene I recall now is the main guy screaming into the camera "open the hatch...".

Very freaky underrated film. Wish there was a DVD release of the movie.

6/10 for the film - 9/10 for the Bledsoe/Giles mullet.

So the devil gets everyone in the end, huh? That sounds freaky. I absloutely love the trailer for this film! It's so eerie!

EVERYONE dies and the evil's not stopped?

Basically, yes. The only dude who isn't possessed at the end actually finds out on time that his remaining partner is actually possessed, so he tells him he's reprogramming one of the nuclear sats to send a message, but he's really programming it to fire against the ship. Unfortunately, the devil being, well, the Devil, it's hinted that he survived. There's even another S.O.S. message from another ship being heard as the credits start rolling.
