The Last Days on Mars is based on the short story "The Animators" by Sydney J. Bounds. It was screened in the Directors' Fortnight section at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
The story goes like this: A research crew of eight inhabiting the Tantalus Base outpost on Mars are 19 hours from the completion of a six month mission and a rendezvous with the lander Aurora, which will return them to their main orbiting craft.
Scientist Marko Petrovic has found samples that may point to life on the planet called 'Martian biological agents'. They are now fast, aggressive, and zombie-like with blackened skin and no trace of their original personalities.
The bulk of the movie's middle section is taken up with fights and escapes from the zombie beings through the habitat modules of the Martian base.
