scot S @Odysseus1 Jul 22 I created an account just to praise this movie. Holy smokes! Profound movie. Can’t believe I hadn’t seen this until now. Immensely tight thriller that has you quickly wondering, "what does this all mean?" Art subdues evil. It triumphs over it. Which is to say, there is greater force in the wonderful and beautiful than there is in the violence of chaos. See more rob H @RT63278111 Apr 18 Really good movie for the time. Especially for the low budget that it was made on! It is an interesting watch all these years later. See more Scott M @RT75128960 Dec 31 Half of a good movie. The exploitation was extremely well done. The whole Charles Whitman aspect of the film was executed perfectly by the director. But I absolutely hated the Boris Karloff scenes. He's not a bad actor. I just thought it was a silly irony that attempts to be poetic and fails.

Targets is a good idea—old-school horror legend (Karloff, doing his best with what he’s given) crosses paths with a modern-day, real-world killer—but it never quite lands. Karloff’s great, obviously, and there’s something poignant about him playing a man who knows he’s past it. But the rest? Bit of a slog, honestly. The sniper stuff should be tense, but it’s weirdly flat. And the script is dreadful—people talking like they’ve just learned how conversations work. It feels like Bogdanovich had something to say about violence and movies but got distracted by showing off how clever he is. It's not a total write-off, but I wouldn’t rush to watch it again.
