Noted American auteur Peter Bogdanovich makes an effective statement in his debut feature film. Bogdanovich deconstructs Old Hollywood with a New Hollywood sensibility by casting Boris Karloff as an aging horror-movie star who comes face to face with an unhinged gunman on a brutal shooting spree throughout Los Angeles. TARGETS is a startling commentary on the connection between mass media and violence that is still prescient today.
Contains graphic and upsetting scenes of gun violence. Please be advised.
