Ghosts of Mars

1h 38m
Directed by John Carpenter • 2001 • United States
Starring Ice Cube, Natasha Henstridge, Pam Grier
Dispatched to an abandoned Martian mining town to capture a serial killer (Ice Cube), a squad of space cops make a horrifying discovery: a phantom force that turns victims into goth-like zombies. Rife with winking allusions to director Johnn Carpenter’s back catalogue (especially ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13), GHOSTS OF MARS giddily combines science-fiction, western, horror, and police-movie tropes into an explosively entertaining intergalactic terrorfest as only the veteran genre master could concoct.
