Assault on Precinct 13

Or...assault on precinct 9....district 14. You, know, whatever. Really quite odd when you think about it. First, and foremost, the scene with the little girl. As she was standing there, going, "This is just plain old vanilla!", in my head I was going..."Settle for vanilla!! Don't do it!" You knew it was coming, and you couldn't do anything to stop it. The suspense was killing me! On that note, you could totally see the influence from Night of the Living Dead. All of the gangsters had virtually zero personality. They looked like zombies, and acted like them. None of them had lines either. It gave your "bad guy" a really evil look. Evil without purpose. It was horrifying. I also liked how the film was a hybrid between Night of the living Dead and a film noir. This was an awesome movie, so full of suspense, gratuitous violence, and witty banter. One of the best films we've watched so far, without a doubt.
