Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) Review
Legendary writer, composer and director John Carpenter’s sophomore feature Assault On Precinct 13 might show its age stylistically, but narratively it more than holds up….for the most part. Some of it is very much of its time, but when that time is the 1970s, that’s hardly a bad thing at all.

Around fifteen minutes into Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone we’d been introduced to our hero, we knew his backstory, had discovered that he’s a wizard thanks to a big, beardy half-giant from the West Country, and joined him in scratching the surface of the magical world he was on the verge of discovering.
