Targets
Movie • 1968 • Crime
ReportSynopsis
Peter Bogdanovich’s startling debut feature is both a brilliantly constructed thriller and a disturbingly prescient look at the rise of mass shootings in America. In his last serious dramatic role, Boris Karloff plays a version of himself: a washed-up horror actor whose fate intersects with a psychotic sniper (Tim O’Kelly) on a killing spree.

There is enough blood to soak into fabric/carpets after multiple people are shot, but opinion may vary whether this is "excessive".

There is a Chinese-American character who is tokenized by her peers. It seems well-meaning for the 60s, though they use the word "oriental" a few times and much of it could come across as microagressions.

The premise of the movie pokes fun at it's lead actor and shows clips from his previous movies, but there's no speaking to the audience, etc.
