Summary |
Old Hollywood collides with New Hollywood, and screen horror with real-life horror, in the startling debut feature from Peter Bogdanovich. The chillingly prescient vision of American-made carnage casts Boris Karloff as a version of himself: an aging horror movie icon whose fate intersects with that of a seemingly ordinary young man on a psychotic shooting spree around Los Angeles. Charged with provocative ideas about the relationship between mass media and mass violence. |
Note |
Special features: Audio commentary from 2003 featuring Bogdanovich; New interview with filmmaker Richard Linklater; Introduction to the film from 2003 by Bogdanovich; Audio excerpts from a 1983 interview with production designer Polly Platt at the American Film Institute; in booklet, an essay by critic Adam Nayman. |
