Ruairi Robinson, who's more known for his sci-fi short films, directs his first feature length film about a manned mission to Mars, that goes horribly wrong when the crew discover a deadly life form on the planet.

The trailer looks terrifying enough but does it offer anything new? At best it looks like a collaboration between Event Horizon and last year's Prometheus. 

The film stars Liev Schreiber, Olivia Williams, Romola Garai, Elias Koteas, Tom Cullen, Goran Kostic and Johnny Harris and opens in the UK 19 September, with a further worldwide release planned on 6 December.

Official synopsis

The Last Days on Mars follows the story of an astronaut crew on Mars on the verge of a major breakthrough, having collected rock specimens that reveal microscopic evidence of life. In their last hours on the planet, two astronauts go back to a cavernous valley on the surface of Mars to collect further evidence for their discovery, but a routine excavation turns deadly when one of them falls to his death and his body is taken as a host and re-animated by the very life form they sought to discover
