Details
Movie Description
The message of Peter Bogdanovich's suspenseful directorial debut still rings true for post-1970s America, regardless of the decade. Tim O'Kelly plays Bobby Thompson, a seemingly mild-mannered husband and son. But Bobby has a penchant for collecting firearms and thinking murderous thoughts, which translate into action when he becomes a deadly sniper, picking off drivers on the L.A. freeway from high above an oil tank. Meanwhile, Byron Orlok (Boris Karloff), an aging horror film star, plans his retirement, feeling the atrocities wrought by daily human global existence have numbed the public to the movie monsters he plays. As fate and movies will have it, Thompson and Orlok's worlds collide at the Reseda Drive-In, where Orlok is making his final public appearance. Writer-director Bogdanovich, helming his debut feature, also appears as young Hollywood screenwriter and director Sammy Michaels. A powerful and chilling study of unexplained, unexpected violence, the film relays a message that continues to be contemporary to the American psycho-social landscape.
Synopsis
TARGETS suspensefully weaves two Los Angeles narratives that comment on each other and, finally, intersect--one, the tale of a seemingly normal young man who embarks on a shooting spree, and the other, a story about a horror film star (played by Boris Karloff) making his final performance. Director Peter Bogdanovich's debut is a gripping movie in which monster antics pale against the bloody reality of a killer's emotionless murders.
