Ghosts of Mars
Terror is the same on any planet.
Directed by John Carpenter
Produced by Animationwerks, Screen Gems
A high-octane sci-fi action-horror hybrid about a police unit battling possessed Martian ghosts in a remote mining outpost, driven by relentless combat and paranoid survival.
In 2176, a Martian police unit is sent to pick up a highly dangerous criminal at a remote mining post. Upon arrival, the cops find the post deserted and something far more dangerous than any criminal — the original inhabitants of Mars, hellbent on getting their planet back.
