I head this one was pretty bad, Carpenter actually took a nearly 10 year long break from directing. You thoughts?

I didn't think it was that bad to be honest. Just completely mediocre.

It is one of John Carpenter's worst movies, but I don't hate it. Here again, his visual style somewhat compensates for the moronic script. It can be cheesy fun if you are in the right mindset. At best I can classify it as a guilty pleasure.
Ghosts of Mars is better than The Ward and Village of the Damned imo.
5/10

I love John Carpenter movies, as even his failures are still interesting. This one is hard to defend, though.

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:
Ghosts of Mars (2001) - 1.5 out of 4 stars
"In the near future, Mars has been colonized, but there's an outbreak of mass murder in some remote settlements. People are possessed by vengeful Martian ghosts; It's up to the team of a lady cop and a hardened criminal to battle them. Routine, predictable, and dull; unimaginatively, the Martian-possessed people adopt a punk/grunge look. Basically a remake of Carpenter's early ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13."
