Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) On Blu Ray


John Carpenter's original is only 91 minutes long, but feels longer.  The Blu Ray edition is completely restored and looks as good as low budget film from the 1970's is going to look in High Definition and from a transfer from the original Panavision® anamorphic widescreen.  It features commentary by Carpenter, who not only directed the film, but also wrote it.  The single disc speacial features also include an interview with Carpenter and actor Austin Stoker, radio spots which Carpenter loved so much that he put some in The Fog, the theatrical trailer, and a gallery of stills.  The one thing that I personally think is the coolest feature is the option for John Carpenter's score of the film to be played in isolation!  I happen to be a fan of his scores.
