They came to mine the planet—but disturbed something that was never meant to be found.
In the year 2179, Mars has become humanity's new frontier, with mining colonies scattered across the desolate landscape. But when a remote outpost loses contact with Earth, a rescue team is dispatched to investigate—only to uncover a nightmare beneath the planet's surface. What was thought to be an ordinary mission quickly spirals into a chilling struggle against a force far more ancient and dangerous than expected.
Led by Lieutenant Nyra Voss, a hardened Martian security officer, the team arrives at Shaitan Station to find it eerily deserted. Within the blood-stained halls, signs of brutal conflict suggest that something inhuman has awakened. As the team ventures deeper, they discover the colonists have been possessed by vengeful spirits—remnants of a lost Martian civilization long buried beneath the sands. These entities, furious at the desecration of their sacred grounds, now seek to reclaim their planet by any means necessary.
The film mixes intense sci-fi horror with claustrophobic action as the crew is hunted one by one. With their weapons nearly useless against the spectral invaders, Nyra must make a desperate alliance with a convicted killer who claims to understand the Martian curse. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the haunting and find a way to escape before becoming part of the ancient army themselves.
Director Kiran Solas delivers a gripping vision filled with atmospheric dread, red-drenched cinematography, and brutal showdowns in the Martian night. The film explores themes of colonization, ancient revenge, and the thin line between science and superstition. “Ghosts of Mars (2026)” reimagines the red planet not as a new beginning, but as the final resting place for human arrogance.
With its blend of psychological tension and unrelenting violence, the movie pays homage to early 2000s space horror while pushing the genre into darker territory. Featuring standout performances and stunning visual effects, it solidifies itself as a landmark in modern sci-fi horror cinema.
