Few locations are more effective for a horror movie than space or other planets. The vast unknown; the deep, dark, devastating loneliness; the unpredictability. All perfect tools for creating fear.
So it’s never surprising to see a new horror set in such places, and this one looks mighty unsettling. The movie is titled The Last Days on Mars, and it stars Liev Schreiber, Olivia Williams, Romola Garai, and Elias Koteas. It follows a group of astronauts collecting specimens on Mars when a mysterious force begins to take them out one by one right before they’re supposed to finish the job and leave for home.
You can check out the trailer below now.
All I know is, those folks ready to head to Mars should most certainly give this a peek before, you know…setting sail.
The Last Days on Mars hits limited theaters starting today.

I recommend this film’s predecessor: John Carpenter’s “Ghosts of Mars” to anyone who has not seen it.
