Film Description

Cops and criminals holed up in an abandoned LA police station have to fight together to resist a street gang out for their blood. One of Carpenter's best films, this is an intense, stylish and witty film made by a film lover (with echoes of Rio Bravo especially). Carpenter's own synth score is also worthy of note.

Why We Go to the Movies 2 by Roger Paul

In this second stab of trying to ascertain exactly why millions of us are willing to sit in the dark watching a flickering screen of moving pictures, the focus is on that all time favourite; the 'B' movie frightener.
