Review of Targets (1968) by Piers H — 22 Jul 2007
The charming horror of the Universal monster movies of the 30's and 40's are represented by an aging Karloff playing himself, or rather a version of himself (an aging horror movie star) who is giving up his career because real life has become scarier than the movies.
Bogdanovich's central premis concerning a divide were reality is more frightening than the genre of horror makes for disturbing viewing, while Karloff gives a great performance. Makes you wonder why Universal didn't have Frankenstein speak in the first place.
