Twixt Brings the Surreal To TIFF with this Horror Trailer

Francis Ford Coppola's latest film production mixes the surreal with murder. Currently at the Toronto International Film Festival, Twixt also takes some elements from Edgar Allan Poe's writings e.g murder mystery. In a small town local writer Hall (Val Kilmer) is shopping his latest failing tale titled Witch Hunter, when he is introduced to real horror. Several people have gone missing likely due to a serial killer.

Now, the first trailer has been released for Twixt. This clip is over 3 minutes long and there are some colourful dream sequences to be seen in the reel. Have a look at Coppola's surreal masterpiece below.

The synopsis for Twixt is here:

"A writer with a declining career arrives in a small town as part of his book tour and gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl. That night in a dream, he is approached by a mysterious young ghost named V.

He's unsure of her connection to the murder in the town, but is grateful for the story being handed to him. Ultimately he is led to the truth of the story, surprised to find that the ending has more to do with his own life than he could ever have anticipated" (Quiet Earth).
