The film Ghosts of Mars was directed by John Carpenter and released in 2001. The movie stars actress Natasha Henstridge as Melanie Ballard, the tough police chief leading a team of officers on a mission to recapture a dangerous criminal. The team includes Jericho Butler, played by actor Jason Statham, and Commander Helena Braddock, played by actress Pam Grier.
Upon arriving on Mars, they find the mining facility in chaos and overrun by possessed workers who have been taken over by the spirits of ancient Martian warriors. The team soon realizes they must band together with the remaining miners and prisoners to fight off the dangerous and bloodthirsty spirits.
As the group fights to survive and find a way off the planet, they also uncover a sinister plot by the mining operations to excavate an ancient Martian artifact known as the "Ghosts of Mars," which has inadvertently awakened the malevolent spirits of the planet.
The film uses a mix of action, horror, and science fiction elements to create a tense and claustrophobic atmosphere. Carpenter's signature style of blending rock music and striking visuals with genre storytelling has been praised by fans of the filmmaker.
Ghosts of Mars received mixed reviews from critics and was a commercial disappointment at the box office. However, over the years, it has gained a cult following among science fiction and horror fans.
