In Peter Bogdanovich’s first feature (and Boris Karloff’s last American film), an aging horror film star named Byron Orlock (Karloff) is confronted with a real-life murderer in a terrifying tale of reality versus illusion. As Orlock is preparing to retire, his life intersects that of a seemingly all-American young man who has ‘snapped’ and is meticulously planning his killing spree. The film ingeniously uses footage from Roger Corman’s 1963 film The Terror, and creates a cinematic homage to Hollywood’s golden age, while presenting the most damning, visceral account of gun violence imaginable. (35mm presentation)
