Assault on Precinct 13 (1976): So Simple, Yet So Effective
As I’m not the kind of cinephile to obsess over the work of a specific director or an actor, I like to judge one’s work for its own merits, not through the lens of my admiration for a particular individual. Nevertheless, my tastes are clearly in phase with John Carpenter’s films.
I can appreciate Halloween, but I don’t care for it. However, my favorite movie is The Thing, I regularly feel the need to rewatch The Fog, They Live, In The Mouth of Madness, or Big Trouble in Little China. And from time to time, I like to revisit Assault on Precinct 13.
The lone inhabitants of an abandoned police station are under attack by the overwhelming numbers of a seemingly unstoppable street gang.
