This unoriginal plot introduces us to a Martian research base, where eight people are about to conclude their mission. But of course, they find some bacteria that originally causes two of their disappearances only for them to later reappear as fast, miraculously strong zombies. For being a zombie movie, it’s also very psychological. And it’s creepy as hell in parts. Also, everyone is up for grabs in this movie, so get attached to no one because I did and it didn’t work out too well for me.

Bad things about this movie: there was no point. People aren’t always likable. There’s no Freddy Claws. It’s not truly fun to watch. I mean, it’s interesting, but not fun. And the ending sucks. Good things about this movie: the cast was amazing. The effects were stunning. I think it honestly had a lot going for it, but it just lost it in the end.

Our score: 39.
