(OK) Powerfull realtion between film horros and contemporaray horror, tight, no o ambitioos in cast and scope, but so personal (Bogdanovich in inside as a screenwrtiter) and Karloff resuming everything wit, and respectable and funny about old Hollywood...

An aging horror star contemplates retirement amid the modern culture of random violence, while a disturbed young gun collector embarks on an unprovoked killing spree.

"23.5. Blu-ray Peter Bogdanovichin debyytti flirttailee roskan ja älyllisen paranoiatrillerin perinteiden kanssa tuloksin, joka vaikuttaa lopulta hyvin ainutlaatuiselta. Parhaimmillaan tyly kuin mikä ja puhuttelee kylmäävästi vanhan ja uuden maailman kauhujen kohtaamisella. Vahva tunne, että paranee entisestään uusinnalla."

50 From 60: My Favorite Films From The 1960's (50 movies items)

" Targets is easily one of my favorite films from the 60's and as a result, one of the ones from that era that I still watch often. It's central theme of the transition of the horror genre's focus going from fantasy monsters to the grim reality of disturbed humans as the basis of striking fear into the hearts of movie viewers is one that will, well, strike fear into the heart of a movie viewer of any decade, past or modern. Demonstrating that being chased, caught or ripped at by some kind mad"

"12.5. Kylmä sanan kaikessa positiivisessa merkityksessä. Hienosti käsikirjoitettu yhteiskuntakritiikki kommentoi metatasolla todella suoraan myös (kauhu)elokuvan konventioita siitä, mitä ovat realistiset kauhujemme kohteet. Nokkela ja hieno elokuva aivan kaikin puolin."
