So…

I don't get all the hatred for Ghosts of Mars. Yes… It's a dumb movie, but just because the premise is rather dumb, doesn't mean it can't be a nice watch. Granted, there are some stilted acting and language here, but that drowns somewhat in the fact that I feel entertained every step of the way.

Is Ghosts of Mars a masterpiece, like most of Carpenters filmography? No, certainly not, but it has its place, and I'll take it out now and then just to annoy the film snobs out there.

Wish I could have seen the Escape from Mars version of the script, but I take what I can get. The Indicator release from Powerhouse Films in the UK is currently the best version I have seen. Well worth the cost!!!

@beardedmovienut Agreed. I always heard it was awful, and sure, it was awful, but I don't think it was much worse than Resident Evil Afterlife (the 2nd movie). It was a decent space zombie action movie with just enough good B-movie sfx gore. I never thought I'd see [spoiler]Clea Duvall and Pam Grier[/spoiler] lose their heads. In the spirit of Resident Evil, it's kind of a shame we didn't get a cheap sequel with the survivors. They had good enough chemistry. <br /> <br /> I think it was just poor timing that it came out the same time as so many other slightly more serious Mars movies. Plus, it still felt more B-action horror movie, but so did some of the Resident Evils.
