About this product
Product Information
The message of Peter Bogdanovich's suspenseful directorial debut still rings true for post-1970s America, regardless of the decade. Tim O'Kelly plays Bobby Thompson, a seemingly mild-mannered husband and son. But Bobby has a penchant for collecting firearms and thinking murderous thoughts, which translate into action when he becomes a deadly sniper, picking off drivers on the L.A. freeway from high above an oil tank. Meanwhile, Byron Orlok (Boris Karloff), an aging horror film star, plans his retirement, feeling the atrocities wrought by daily human global existence have numbed the public to the movie monsters he plays. As fate and movies will have it, Thompson and Orlok's worlds collide at the Reseda Drive-In, where Orlok is making his final public appearance. Writer-director Bogdanovich, helming his debut feature, also appears as young Hollywood screenwriter and director Sammy Michaels. A powerful and chilling study of unexplained, unexpected violence, the film relays a message that continues to be contemporary to the American psycho-social landscape.Product Identifiers

Boris Karloff at his best!
I recently found out about this film. It is one of Boris Karloff's last films, and it's brilliant. He is so good in his role, so effective, and a real break from his typical films. I read that he worked three extra days on the project, but refused additional money. He really was a one-of-a-kind actor, and it was a pleasure to watch this unknown (to me) film.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
