Aug 24, 2001 · Action. 98 minutes ‧ R ‧ 2001. Roger Ebert. August 24, 2001. 3 min read. John Carpenter’s “Ghosts of Mars” is a brawny space opera, transplanting the conventions of Western, cop and martial arts films to the Red Planet. As waves of zombified killers attack the heroes, actions scenes become shooting galleries, and darned if in the year ...
One of my favourite niche sub-genres is the space horror films that came out in the late 90's and early 2000's. Stuff like Event Horizon, Doom, Pitch Black, Ghosts of Mars and Supernova. They can be pretty cheesy and even downright bad, but I love them.
- It constantly spoils its own surprises. Flashbacks are nothing new in movies, and if they’re used carefully, they can be quite effective. The original Invasion Of The Body Snatchers has one, largely to avoid an originally intended bleak ending, but it’s inconspicuous enough that you almost forget that it exists.
- There’s a flashback within a flashback within a flashback. When Ghosts Of Mars begins, Ballard’s found alone on the train, and the rest of the film’s violent events are a flashback, as Ballard recounts her sorry tale to some sort of tribunal.
- Drugs repel demons. Tough lawman though she is, Ballard isn’t entirely squeaky-clean. Around her neck, in a little silver box marked with a Celtic knot, she carries a few unidentified pills, which she pops now and again when she’s feeling a bit low.
- People keep shooting demons even though they shouldn’t. Unless we’re severely mistaken (and it’s possible we are – it’s happened before), there’s a bit of a plot fault in Ghosts Of Mars.
'Ghosts of Mars' (2001) review - John Carpenter's over-the-top, all-out-action film set on Mars is an exhilarating experience Discussion Ghosts of Mars is a thrilling, over-the-top, all-out action film from start to finish, directed by John Carpenter in his penultimate effort, with glimpses of his prior works like Assault on Precinct 13, The Thing, and Escapes From New York.
Aug 24, 2001 · It keeps you off balance, all right, but not enough to obscure the sad fact that Ghosts of Mars is a muddled, derivative disaster straight on through. Read More.

The not-so-good: Making a sci-fi movie about Mars being possessed with ancient spirits that overtake humans probably looked good on paper but when the characters and grotesque masochistic creatures are on-screen speaking the ridiculous dialogue, acting out the macabre violence and carrying out brutal acts of terror, it ends up being a different kind of movie.
