“Carpenteru0026#39;s films tend to age like fine wine. When theyu0026#39;re released, theyu0026#39;re lamblasted by critics and fans. Ten years later, theyu0026#39;re classics; for instance, u0026quot;The Thingu0026quot;, u0026quot;Big Trouble in Little Chinau0026quot;, u0026quot;They Liveu0026quot;, u0026quot;Prince of Darknessu0026quot; — and u0026quot;Ghost of Marsu0026quot; is no exception. This is a tremendously entertaining film that shouldnu0026#39;t be viewed as a horror film, but rather, as a tongue-in-cheek western, in the vain of the Spaghetti Westerns. You all have to pull your heads out and watch this film again…in about nine years. Iu0026#39;ll bet youu0026#39;ll say, u0026quot;You know what, that was a hell of a lot of fun.u0026quot; In the meantime, get off Carpenteru0026#39;s ass.”
