Peter Bogdanovich’s Targets new BLU-RAY Criterion release

Peter Bogdanovich’s debut feature Targets skillfully blends the worlds of Old Hollywood and New Hollywood, while also tackling the disturbing topic of real-life horror. Produced by Roger Corman, the movie features Boris Karloff playing a version of himself – an aging horror movie icon whose fate becomes intertwined with that of a seemingly ordinary young man (Tim O’Kelly) who goes on a psychotic shooting spree in Los Angeles. Through its powerful exploration of the link between mass media and mass violence, Targets delivers a thought-provoking message. Despite being made on a shoestring budget, the movie is a triumph of effective filmmaking and serves as an impressive first statement from one of the most iconic voices of the American New Wave.
