Just saw the original Assault on Precinct 13. That wasn't bad at all.
In the last half hour I was starting to think it felt like a zombie movie without the zombies (but being a 70's movie I didn't have any problem with it. To be clear, I think zombies need to stop these days). Then I looked it up and yeah, Carpenter was going for a little bit of Night of the Living Dead. Just with deranged cultist gang members who don't fear death.
He was also going for Rio Bravo, which is a Howard Hawks movie, so I'll make sure to watch it.
