Institute History

  • 1985 Sundance Film Festival

Description

Bogdanovich’s first feature film, a cut above the rest, is an exciting and effective tale of a flipped out Vietnam veteran who, having killed his wife and family, begins taking pot shots at drive-in movie patrons. Boris Karloff playing himself—an aging horror film star—must confront and disarm him. Laszlo Kovacs’ cinematography provides considerable enhancement to an already taut script.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
