Editorial Review:
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.

Ghosts of Mars [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Very Fun B Sci-fi Movie
2009-08-31 - There is a reason Ghost of Mars keeps popping up on TV, in video, in DVD, now in Blu-Ray ... it is just plain fun. Not to mention that Natasha Henstridge it is ALWAYS enjoyable to look at. Sadly, she isn't even mentioned in the Amazon display of this DVD as the star of the film. As with all Carpenter films, Escape from New York, Escape From LA and so forth, you are expected to suspend all "reason". It is about entertainment. Frankly, I found the special effects very good and FAR superior to the last 50 Sci-fi channel movies that appeared in DVD. If you like Zombies, sci-fi, grade-A actors and actresses, semi-reasonalble plots and have a sense of humor, you'll enjoy Ghost of Mars.

John Carpenter can do no wrong.
2009-04-30 - This flick is lots of fun, cheezy, and highly improbable.

The soundtrack rules, and you have ANthrax and Buckethead shredding it to a Carpenter score. Epic!


It's a silly great film. Don't get it twisted.

One of the worst space movies I've ever seen
2009-04-12 - Sure, I love Oscar material, but I also enjoy space & monster based flicks. This was watched on a 42" Panasonic Plasma, and BD35 Player.
PQ 3.5/5 (very grainy and processed in parts), sound 5/5. The True HD works well for the shooting and music-heavy scenes.

This one is littered with bad special effects and poor fight sequences (they look like the are are dancing in some parts, and just don't have enough force, to make them realistic). The music supports the chaos that occurs throughout the movie, well, and is about the only saving grace for me. It's your typical film a'la Doomsday (much better than this one, in my opinion), Resident Evil, etc, but the mechanical acting and subpar plot, make this film mediocre.

Another zombie movie
2009-04-05 - Watched this when I was in college.
Thought it was going to be a cool sci-fi movie (probably because of the book)
Realized that it was nothing but shooting and did not really reflect from the written version.

My wallet will be forever haunted
2009-04-05 - I thought why not... after all, it is a John Carpenter film and he did do The Thing... DON'T DO IT! The fact that someone took the time to put this on BluRay is beyond me. This is nothing more then a VERY low budget "made for tv" movie you'd see on the SciFi channel at 2am. I'll never get that time back - so please take this as a fair warning - some movies are only fit for the $1.99 dvd bargin bin, and this is one of them and only if it was purchased in conjunction with a $1.00 off coupon.
