TARGETS (1968/Criterion Special Edition) - Blu-Ray

Boris Karloff's last great role. After this he only did four Mexican quickies. Peter Bogdanovich directs and co-stars. Karloff basically plays himself under the name Byron Orloff. He's an aged horror vet thinking about retiring. A scene with dear Boris telling a spooky story as the camera slowing, slowly moves closer is a highmark! A sub-plot follows a murdering maniac who shoots people for no apparent reason. The two stories meet for a dramatic finale at a drive-in that will bring the house down and leave you cheering for Karloff.The typical Criterion treatment: 4K scan, commentary by director Peter Bogdanovich, interview, introduction by Bogdanovich, essay, and more!
