John Carpenter cowrote and directed GHOSTS OF MARS in 2001.
Mars, in the year 2176. Natasha Henstridge plays the character of a cop lieutenant whose mission is to bring back by train to Mars central headquarters Ice Cube, charged of several murders, from a mining outpost lost in the martian desert. She finds the town deserted, mutilated corpses and Ice Cube waiting in the local prison. Joanna Cassidy, a scientist coming from an adjacent mine, is one of the last survivors and tells her that her team had found an alien construction hidden in a mine and unvoluntarily unleashed an invisible martian force that has the ability to possess human bodies and turn their hosts into savage murderers. Soon the dozen survivors left are attacked by the local miners and have to find a way out.
A superb résumé of all precedent Carpenter movies. Recommended to the fans of the american master.
