Review of Twixt

Review: I really can't believe that this is a Francis Ford Coppola movie, because it seemed really low budget and terribly made. The storyline took ages to get going, and once it did, it wasn't anything special. The movie is based around Val Kilmer's character, whose performance was pretty dull, and all of the other characters could have been played by monkey's. Personally, I was expecting the movie to be rubbish because Val Kilmer hasn't really made anything good recently, but I did think that Francis would have made some thing half decent, which this isn't. The whole mystical/horror element to the movie was pretty poor and the script needed a whole rewrite. The only good thing about the film was that it isn't that long and it was good to see Bruce Dern back on the big screen, even though he usually plays a racist. Terrible!

Round-Up: Val Kilmer is definitely in the movie business just to pay bills because all of his films go straight to DVD and they pretty appalling. With the amount of money that the Godfather trilogy made, I would have thought that Francis Ford Coppola wasn't hard up for money, so there isn't any excuse why he brought out the terrible film. Maybe that explains why it took 2 years for it too come out on DVD because they must have been ashamed of it. You can tell right from the beginning that it's going to be disappointing because nothing happens for ages. I think you can tell that I found it a total waste of time.

Budget: $7million Worldwide Gross: $400,000 (Terrible!)

I recommend this movie to people who are into there mystical/drama movies, about a guy trying to write a book about a haunted town. 1/10
