Melanie Ballard is a hard nosed police chief in the year 2025. She and a police snatch squad are sent to Mars to apprehend dangerous criminal James Williams. Mars has been occupied by humans for some time and they have set up mining facilities. The mining activities on Mars have unleashed the spirits of alien beings who gradually possess the bodies of the workers. It soon turns out that catching the dangerous fugitive takes a back seat as the alien spirits begin to rid their planet of the 'invaders'.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Written, directed, and edited with the offhand shoddiness of a day worker thinking about his evening beer.

Someday we're all going to look back on this one and l-a-a-a-augh.

rotten:
The acting is so pallid that you're never sure the cast members quite get the jokes.

rotten:
Schlocky, sluggish shoot-'em-up.

fresh:
A flawed but worthy effort from an auteur whose near-misses are more entertaining than many others' hits.
