Terror isitheisame oniany planet.
From John Carpenter, the master of horror behind 1998's hit John Carpenter's Vampires and classics like The Thing and Halloween, comes a sci-fi thriller full of explosive action and bone-chilling suspense.
Natasha Henstridge (Species) is Melanie Ballard, a headstrong police lieutenant on Mars in the year 2025. Humans have been colonizing and mining on the red planet for some time, but when Ballard and her squad are sent to a remote region to apprehend the dangerous criminal James "Desolation" Williams, played by Ice Cube (Three Kings), they discover that he's the least of their worries. The mining operations have unleashed a deadly army of Martian spirits who take over the bodies of humans and won't stop until they destroy all invaders of their planet.
With a stellar cast including Pam Grier (Jackie Brown), Jason Statham (Snatch) and Clea Duvall (The Faculty), as well as explosive special effects, John Carpenter's Ghosts Of Mars is an intergalactic terror fest like you've never seen.

A ghost of a chance - 3.75 out of 5 (11/29/2001)
I had a good buddy of mine who warned me away from seeing GHOSTS OF MARS. He
told me that it was a confusing mess of a movie that was one of the worst
films John Carpenter has done in years.
I wondered if he had seen PRINCE OF DARKNESS?
But after watching it anyways on DVD, I have to say that it wasn't that bad
of a movie after all, in fact I would go so far as to say I enjoyed it.
But let's be honest. It's not a great film. It's also not one of Carpenter'
s best films. It has li

this movie is so bad - it's scary! - 2.75 out of 5 (4/20/2002)
This movie is definitely geared to either teenagers, who enjoy plenty of schock without plot, or to hardcore John Carpenter fans. I consider most of Carpenter's films, but I was so disappointed with this one. Totally lacking in plot and really cheesy acting and dialogue drag this film and made me want to go back to the store and demand my money back.
Don't make the same mistake I did, rent before you decide to buy.

Another Kick-Ass Flick from the True Master of Terror...... - 4.25 out of 5 (2/10/2002)
Ghosts of Mars, like many of the movies from John Carpenter, is reminiscent of a good old drive-in movie, high on the gore, suspense, and high-wire action. Carpenter is and has long been my favorite horror movie director. If you ask me, there's a huge difference in a traditional horror flick, and one that carries the name John Carpenter. What Carpenter applies to his movies is a superior level of exhibition and build up that makes for a most exciting payoff. His last several pictures weren't nec
