Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Before making the original Halloween into one of the most profitable independent films of all time, John Carpenter directed this riveting low-budget thriller from 1976, in which a nearly abandoned police station is held under siege by a heavily armed gang called Street Thunder. Inside the station, cut off from contact and isolated, cops and convicts who were headed for death row must now join forces or die. That's the basic plot, but it's what Carpenter does with it that's remarkable. Drawing specific inspiration from the classic Howard Hawks Western Rio Bravo (which included a similar siege on disadvantaged heroes), Carpenter used his simple setting for a tense, tightly constructed series of action sequences, emphasizing low-key character development and escalating tension. Few who've seen the film can forget the "ice cream cone" scene in which a young girl is caught up in the action by patronizing a seemingly harmless ice cream truck. It's here, and in other equally memorable scenes, that Carpenter demonstrates his singular knack for injecting terror into the mundane details of daily life, propelling this potent thriller to cult favorite status and long-standing critical acclaim. --Jeff Shannon

This Blu-Ray edition trumps all other editions of tihs film on DVD. The image is wonderfully sharp and impressively clean. It kills the Blu-Ray edition of Carpenter's Halloween. Textures and facial features are crystal clear. The HD soundtrack sound as good as it probably ever wlil. Same supplements as the previous standard edition DVD. If you own a Blu-Ray player and like John Carpenter films, then this (and The Thing) are the places to start building your Carpenter collection.

HD DTS Mastr sound is the most powerful I've ever heard Carpenter's music and the 1080p credits really got me standing at attention. Good, because the next opening 'dark' scene is the worst looking scene in an otherwise exceptional BD of the classic Carpenter film. The film never looked or sounded so good which makes for a better experience. I'm enjoying it more than ever before. Extras include Carpenter commentary and isolated music track in Dolby (sounds good) and a bunch of other stuff. I like ... Read More

A street gang of seemingly unlimited strength and size lays siege on a police station, when the gang's leader is killed by a man seeking refuge in the station. After it becomes apparent that no help is going to come, the one police officer in the station, a rookie on his first night on the job (Austin Stoker), finds that he must join forces with the two prisoners in his care, if he ever hopes to survive.
"Assault on Precinct 13" is meant to be horror director John Carpenter's homage to ... Read More
