An LA gang’s revenge-fuelled killing spree leads them to a half-abandoned police station in the throes of closing down. Under siege with power and phone lines cut, a lone cop and his skeleton staff recruit a condemned killer from the cells in a desperate battle to survive the night.
During the pandemic, my husband and I started watching movie anthologies of various themes. One of them was of Director John Carpenter. To this day, of all the anthologies we’ve watched, that one is still my absolute favorite. His movies are so much fun, influential, and evolve in very interesting ways over time. If you haven’t already, I can’t recommend enough to watch his other movies. Glad you enjoyed this one!
Yes, I’ve seen a lot of them and this is one of my faves.
I stumbled on it about 30 years ago being played late at night on BBC2.
The premise is terrifying.
That scene where the little girl is murdered is brutal.
Carpenter’s score on this is fantastic too
