A criminally underrated film! I saw it when it first came out and loved it!

[@joselopez6990]

Anthrax and Buckethead did the music for John Carpenter

[@Jackedtavist]

Me too. I was 5. Now I'm 27

[@Gggmanlives]

Lmao it's not underrated at all

[@cjcanton9121]

It's a guilty pleasure but it's objectively a bad movie

[@kapnerad]

"C'mon, you mindless motherfuckers!!" I'd bet money Ice Cube ad libbed that :)

[@eduardosalinas7872]

I loved this movie as a kid, the action sequences are so fun 😅

[@jaynyce5923]

This movie is obviously not good but it’s SOOOO enjoyable. I can watch this movie over and over and never get tired of it lol. Definitely one of my best guilty pleasure movies.

[@joycetaoexo8319]

man I loved this movie 😭

[@croissantlover1]

same XD they showed it like 6 times almost at late night over the course of 2-3 years when i was a teenager and would turn the tv on to watch something when coming home.

[@alphariusomegon8507]

This scared me as a child mostly because of the ghost possession part.

[@matthewmoody255]

Same

[@MovementArtistryProductions]

Guilty pleasure for sure. Even till this day the ambiguous ending boggles my mind. Did they successfully defeat the evil or did the evil triumph? I know the film was panned by critics and several viewers but I found it very entertaining. Good blend of mystery, horror, unsettling tension(when I was a kid seeing this, the heads on the spears and the possessed mutilating their faces had me shook), comedy, and action. That's John Carpenter for you. Honestly (and to quote another KZbinr) this is the Doom movie we needed, but didn't deserve.

[@selflessclock9218]

Thank you someone who understands it doesn’t take it self to seriously and it’s extremely cheesy and and some points are stupid but I can’t deny that it is entertaining as hell especially this scene

[@ravensong9030]

Something similar here, I kept saying "what a crappy movie" but at the same time, couldn't stop watching.

[@planexshifter]

I think DOOM ripped this movie off.....

[@SpaceRaider.]

You can’t stop the ghost aliens kill the host and they just move on to posses someone else. They would have to rid Mars of human life just so the ghost aliens can’t come back It’s a loseing battle for the hero’s sadly. Thought it was a pretty good film.

[@boomstickcritique902]

It's Carpenter doing an intentional action Horror B movie the film is intentionally campy I don't get why some people don't have fun with it.

[@blackairforce5027]

3:03 idk whats his name but he is badass for this to keep on fighting with one arm

[@nickrawlins8570]

Kinda cool how every character got their shine in this movie, all of them went out swinging in a badass way

[@MrWashu12]

This movie was awesome and crazy sad though how that woman lost her whole team but at least for the time being she has a friend of sort in that man that they were there to arrest.

[@infinitygauntlet101]

Just another day in Compton for Ice Cube.

[@Duar1503]

Lmfao

[@Thee_Deputy]

This movie is such a guilty pleasure.

[@selflessclock9218]

Thank you finally a guy who understands it’s so stupid and cheesy but it’s entertaining as hell

[@magallanesagustin4952]

I don't know why Ice Cube being an over the top badass and shooting like that cracks me up every single time.

[@justinfever9787]

This movie is the ultimate B movie popcorn flick. So incredible stupid, yet entertaining as hell.

[@ABandApart01]

If I’m not mistaken, Anthrax provides some soundtrack music yeah?? Anyway still dig the movie, I’m a sucker for carpenter!

[@Oi325]

Anthrax Steve Vai and Buckethead

[@joelsaenz9124]

I remember watching this as a kid 😮 It looked badass back then lol

[@TheValtroUniverse]

Name of this music please?! I do love this tune.

[@Oi325]

That's why I asked if someone can cut the track song from this scene and separate it from the movie audio

[@UKEYsPOWER]

Love the movie. Carpenter one of the GOATs.

I ❤ this movie 🍿 John carpenter is the best have all his movies 🍿.

I wish they made ghost of mars 2 to see what happens next with Williams & Melanie

If it wasn’t for Buckethead I wouldn’t be here.

[@marcusmeins1839]

This is more doom than the doom movie itlsef XD!

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Basically like school where the Goths are fighting the Thespians' Society and they just turned it into a 2-hour movie

[@Why_are_we_here_just_to_suffer]

[@unkindlygnome5148]

Kind of reminds me of Doom

[@AbsoluteMisan]

USA is actually like this movie.

[@kaithomas7920]

Highly underrated movie. It's like "Assault on precinct 13" in space.

[@rolandmendozain]

This reminds of a game for ps1 called Martian gothic unification if you don't look it up and read on it very very similar

[@strongmanforjesus3353]

this movie was so bad when it came out that my parents rented it and then saw ice cube and saw how bad the acting was and within 15 mins turned it off and brought it back to hollywood video haha

did John Carpenter actually a better ending in mind? or an idea for a sequel? cuz what do they afterwards when those ghosts follow them back to HQ?

[@matthewmoody255]

Doom movie was released in 05 and this was released in 01

[@jillvalentinefan77]

If they went with the original lore of Doom.and no studio execs were allowed too make 11th hour changes then the 2005 film would have turned out a lot better.

[@Michael_ORourke]

@@jillvalentinefan77 I highly doubt it. Doom was directed by the same guy who made Exit Wounds and Cradle 2 the Grave. Not exactly a great director.
