#200: Ghosts of Mars [2001]

I’m not goint to insist that Carpenter never makes a bad movie (cough, Starman), but as usual, he doesn’t disappoint with Ghosts of Mars, completing the conceptual trilogy on a definite upturn.  

Numerous blogs and other besserwissers claims Ghosts of Mars to be heavily influenced by Rio Bravo and Zulu, and since I never got around to seeing any of them I thought I’d see for myself.  It is perhaps a bit of a stretch, but I get what they’re on about.

All in all a memorable experience, even if Zulu stank, if I’m honest.

Title: Ghosts of Mars
Director: John Carpenter
Score:   7/10
Award for: Best soundtrack, as always.
