In the year 2176, Earth has colonized Mars, and all positions of power are held by women. Police Lieutenant Ballard (Natasha Henstridge) is assigned to take a crew via train from the metropolis of Chryste to the deserted mining town of Shining Station to capture an extremely dangerous convict, Desolation Williams (Ice Cube). When Ballard and her crew arrive at Shining Station, an eerily deserted town, they find not only Williams, but also scientist Dr. Whitlock (Joanna Cassidy), who has secluded herself in the colony for safety. She tells Ballard and her crew that a mining project released a mysterious cloud from beneath the planet's surface. It is possessing the colonists, causing them to hunt down and kill off any non-possessed beings. Ballard and her crew decide that they must destroy the possessed beings for the good of the planet, a job which is more difficult than anyone predicts. (Sony Pictures)

Unquestionably the weakest of John Carpenter's films that I have had the opportunity to watch so far. Honestly, I don't understand how the director of The Thing or Madness could have signed this creation at all... That one star is actually more for his previous merits. The acting performances are, diplomatically speaking, uneven, the directing is uninspired, but the crown of it all is the screenplay, for which the author should fry in hell. Similar botched films are occasionally saved by magnificent production, but in this case, that's also worthless. So, all in all: a complete waste of time. Overall impression: 20%.

Ghost of Mars is a B-movie that takes itself way too seriously, thinking it’s super cool, while viewers just shake their heads in disbelief. It is artificial and has no charm as it woodenly strives for bold genre anarchy (“action metal sci-fi horror with Ice Cube on Mars”!!!). Ghosts of Mars is the kind of film that everyone involved in it – the ranks of whom include a lot of rising stars as well as cult actors – wants to delete from their filmography.

I can not help the feeling that John Carpenter simply gave up during the making of this movie. This strangely structured horror, whose concept seems to be stuck in the 1980s and stars an attractive blonde and gangsta rapper, whom you probably just have to believe are "rugged cosmic desperados". This really has nothing to do with the classic good movies Carpenter used to make. In addition, the wannabe cool buddy ending was just a total slap in the face.

To say the least, a very mediocre B-movie from horror staple John Carpenter, who seems to have exhausted his creative potential in the first half of the 1990s. The open ending suggests that they were counting on a sequel, which I don't really believe and hope won't happen. I'm sorry that this obscure affair stars the charismatic Ice Cube, he deserves to be in better movies.

Carpenter is no longer at the top of his game, but this film doesn’t deserve to be called garbage, it’s not that bad, it’s an average B-movie that shouldn’t piss-off anyone (unless you’re expecting another The Thing). The story is fast-paced, the actors are alright, so are the make-up effects, but Ghosts of Mars won’t leave any lasting impression; if that is what you want, better watch The Thing again.
