A bearhunter (Kevin Shea) is brought into an undermanned police precinct for questioning - but unfortunately, his truck is hauled in as well - unfortunately because the truck doesn't contain the usual dead bears but a real life sasquatch (Jason Criscoulo) the hunter has captured for some rich bastard to hunt. However, once at the police station, the sasquatch breaks out and puts the precinct under siege.

Inside, you find all the usual suspects: the widowed cop (Greg Nutcher), his teenaged daughter (Sarah J.Ahearn), his loyal partner (Cristina Santiago), the guy who widowed him (Alex Exum), the klutzy cop (Cuyle Carvin), the sexy but tough-as-nails secretary (Andrea Sáenz), and so on and so forth. Eventually, the sasquatch manages to enter the precinct, and now he starts killing people left and right, until he catches up with the hunter who has captured him, and he has his revenge on the bastard. Then he returns to the forest he was found him, without hurting the three sole survivors on his way out.

Oh, and the three survivors are (no surprise here) the widowed cop, his daughter and his partner.

As the title of this film pretty much suggests, this is a monstermovie take on John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13 - only without any of that movie's ingenuity. While Carpenter managed to fill his film's skeletal plot with interesting characters and plottwists and made it a point to create tension and suspense pretty much nonstop, this film is merely overpopulated with clichéed characters having clichéed dialogues and doing clichéed things, the murder scenes and even the order they appear in just follow your typical slasher formula (so much so that there is no question of who's going to die, who's going to survive), and if all that didn't yet kill the film, the very cheap sasquatch-cosutme, that looks like something out of a 1940's B picture and that's pulled into plain sight way too often in the movie, surely sinks it.
