Targets

Featuring an Elaborate Onscreen Introduction.

Ageing horror movie star Byron Orlok feels that his craft has been superseded by the violence in modern society.

His point is horrifically emphasised by a young man who goes on a random shooting spree from the top of a water tower and behind a drive-in movie screen.

The directorial debut of Peter Bogdanovich (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, PAPER MOON) and one of the last appearances of Boris Karloff, what started off as a quickie to use up the two remaining days Karloff was contracted to Roger Corman turned into a stunning piece of filmmaking.

Much of the power rests in the juxtaposition of the ageing horror star and the modern horror of a mass shooting (based on the real shooting spree by Charles Whitman in 1966).

This rarer than rare screening is not to be missed so book now.
