Ghosts of Mars by John Carpenter

Set on a colonized Mars in the 22nd century, the film follows a squad of police officers and a convicted criminal who fight against the residents of a mining colony who have been possessed by the ghosts of the planet's original inhabitants.

Ghosts of Mars received mostly negative reviews and was a box office bomb, earning $14 million against a $28 million production budget.

Ghosts of Mars has received a cult following since its release, with critics praising the action sequences, soundtrack and blending of genres.
