After cutting his directorial teeth with Dark Star, John Carpenter's sophomore effort sees the birth of his unique style.
’s feature-length directorial debut. ComingSoon will cover each of the horror master’s films throughout 2024 as we chart his career from humble beginnings with a beach ball to the change in career direction that saw him bow out of movies for a while., John Carpenter put himself front and center with his sophomore effort, where he created his unique style that would leave his signature all over genre cinema for the next 20 years.
The titular precinct is all but gutted ahead of being commissioned, but cop Ethan Bishop is assigned to it for its final night. What the film doesn’t explicitly talk about is why the precinct is closing. sure, there are other precincts to pick up the slack, but the introduction of a sadistic gang gives an underlying hint that the police have lost this area to crime and would rather keep it at arm’s length. That’s clearly why when shit hits the fan, there’s nobody around to give a damn.
The skeleton staff and prisoners are given little choice but to work together to survive when the gang launches an assault on the precinct, but the alliance is naturally not a smooth one. in the end, it all falls to Bishop, steely receptionist Leigh , and convicted murderer Napoleon Wilson to hold down the fort in an increasingly desperate situation.
But that doesn’t stop us from getting some truly badass chemistry between Stoker and Joston. The pair are as far as can be from each other where the law is concerned, but a natural growing respect grows between the pair throughout the siege. Carpenter would later make a habit of creating flawed protagonists that remained likable, but this is the blueprint.
