ASSUALT ON PRECINCT 13 (1976). Really good John Carpenter that has been described as a hybrid of RIO LOBO and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Indeed, the gang members trying to get in and the clutching hands in the final siege reminded me a lot of the latter.
Has one extremely shocking scene (even today) involving ice cream that would probably would never go in our current PC society.
Anyone seen the 2005 remake? ***1/2
