The Last Days on Mars is a 2013 science fiction horror film directed by Ruairí Robinson with a screenplay by Clive Dawson, based on the short story "The Animators" by Sydney J. Bounds.

It stars Liev Schreiber, Elias Koteas, Romola Garai, Goran Kostić, Johnny Harris, Tom Cullen, Yusra Warsama, and Olivia Williams.

Dalby and Petrović reappear at the main outpost, but exposure to the organism has altered them into fast, aggressive, feral zombie-like creatures with blackened skin and no trace of their original personalities.

Under the pretence of a scouting operation, Irwin steals the second rover and fails to persuade Campbell to abandon Lane, whom he states is infected.

In a message to mission control, Campbell says he does not have enough fuel for a rendezvous but that supplies aboard can last for months if they want to launch a rescue.

Influences include Paul Greengrass, Michael Mann, and Sergio Leone; Robinson wanted to make a paranoid thriller reminiscent of Alien.

[16] Tim Robey of The Daily Telegraph gave the film 2/5 stars: "You've never seen the red planet looking quite as humdrum as the one in The Last Days on Mars.

"[18] Stephanie Merry of The Washington Post gave the film 1.5/4 stars, writing that it "seems like it could deliver such thought-provoking goods — at least until the plot devolves into Zombies in Outer Space".

"[20] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times wrote: "Lean, muscular and on the money, The Last Days on Mars takes a familiar story and tells it so tautly that we are pleased to be on board.

[22] Kate Muir of The Times wrote: "With The Last Days on Mars, Ruairí Robinson has made a courageous effort to pull off a sci-fi horror on the cheap.
