Assault on Precint 13's powerful exercise in democracy...is nothing short of one for the ages. Full Review |

While the Carpenter 1976 cult classic feasted off the blaxploitation and horror thriller mania of the movie moment back then, French director Richet gets more into character depth, and greater moral ambiguity fueling the social contradictions now. Full Review |

Like Night of the Living Dead', it offers a protagonist who is black, a morality that is grey, and social commentary in the guise of horror. Full Review |
