- Synopsis
- In a dusty frontier mining town on Mars, 175 years in the future, a small squad of police have been sent to transfer an extremely dangerous criminal, Desolation Williams, back to the main administrative Martian city, Chryse. The heroine, Melanie (Henstridge), is second in command of this squad. What no one realizes is that mining operations have uncovered --and disturbed-- the ruins of an ancient Martian civilization and unleashed a kind of spiritual doomsday defense system that will destroy any foreign presence inhabiting Mars. When the cops arrive at this remote outpost, no one but the criminals locked away in the local jail have survived... And the "Martian Ghosts" are determined not to let them get away.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The one intriguing thing about John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars is how such a dreadful screenplay could have made it onto celluloid."
-
"Slides instantly into the realm of the forgettable."
-
"Though Ghosts of Mars is watchable and even exciting, it's not one of [Carpenter's] best."
-
"Carpenter's heart doesn't seem to be in this lackluster space adventure set in 2176. What's more, his stars don't exactly energize the proceedings"
