    It's cheap thrills all the way, served up with the kind of situational purity that only Carpenter seems to care for these days. It's that simple and that much fun.

    It might be nice if Ghosts of Mars had more to offer than snappy repartee and shameless gore, or if it could borrow a little narrative tension from its Alien Chain Saw forebears.

    While this cheesy, heavy-metal melange of horror, space hooey and cowboy shoot-'em-ups isn't exactly dull, it isn't anything to write home about either.

    Ghost of Mars could have been a great film - the ingridienses are there - but fails. It most of all unfortunately focuses on the two leading actors and all other wanishes. However Rodney A Grant (Tres) is as always GREAT… Expand

    Could have been great, but it wasn't. Cheesy and amateur! I think Carpenter is one of the finest filmmakers the horror genre has ever seen, but this one is embarrassing when compared to the Carpenter canon. Sadly, Ice Cube gives the best performance in the film. All the while, I suppose this is another guilty pleasure of mine.....I've got it on blu-ray!… Expand
