Peter Bogdanovich's Targets. I thought the only great film Bogdanovich made was The Last Picture Show.I was wrong. Targets is a meta as hell film about the boogey men of yesteryear and the Norman Bates esque newschool monster. Midway through Boris Karloff owns you with a story about Death personified and a man he bumps into at the market. Just when you think Karloff is speaking(and looking) directly at you Bogdanovich shifts the shot and you are back into the world of the film. I can't imagine how unsettled people were watching this picture drive-in's back in the day. A great flick and a perfect last picture for Boris Karloff.
5/5
