Worse than the worst episode of Star Trek, only bloodier

Oh my, zombies from Mars!

Ghosts of Mars is so bad it's almost funny, but not quite. It's the story of Very Bad Things that happen at a Martian mining colony. For reasons best known to John Carpenter, it is told via flashbacks. At one point, we were seeing a flashback within a flashback within a flashback.

The acting is tolerable at best, the dialogue is pathetic, the storyline (such as it is) is weak and the over-the-top violence is unbelievable and functions as nothing more than an attempt at sensationalism.

Overall, this is a very poor excuse for a movie.
