Viewing Notes
Never had a chance to see this until now, and it’s one of the few Carpenter flicks I hadn’t seen. AOP13 is also one of the better Carpenter entries in a group of pretty excellent films. Not only does it have a kickass child death in it, a sign of a balls out, no-holds barred action/horror flick, but the tension building and gritty shootouts are entertaining as hell.
Loved this entry and it makes me think less of the remake, even though I kind of liked it.
