Keith Phipps The Dissolve Sometimes it's fascinating, but just as often, it's frustrating: It's a film without a net, and it tends to land with a thud. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 30, 2013 Full Review G. Allen Johnson San Francisco Chronicle Not really scary, although there are some nice creepy visuals here and there. Rated: 2/4 Aug 9, 2012 Full Review Kaleem Aftab Independent (UK) For the most part this qualified return to form will delight all fans of Coppola, especially those who enjoyed his gothic romances, Dementia 13 and Dracula. Rated: 3/5 Sep 16, 2011 Full Review Sloan Freer Radio Times Ultimately, it's pure fun that drives the transparent events, a fact emphasised by the mischievous in-jokes and exaggerated performances, particularly from Bruce Dern as an eccentric local sheriff. Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Megan Fisher Loud and Clear Reviews Many may get turned off by Twixt’s obvious low-budget and disjointed, dreamlike narrative style, but those on the right wave length will be treated to unsettling imagery and an emotional treatise on the power of art to process grief. Jan 11, 2025 Full Review Mike Thorn In Review Online The film’s lush, otherworldly dreamscapes foreground the theme of time by contrasting contemporary film technology against the aesthetics of Gothic pasts.

Horror fan 4 This movie had great make-up and the dream sequences were amazing. The movie however wasn't scary and at times it was boring. Tim Treakle Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review James G This wanted to be a good movie. It had an interesting premise and strong start, then went full Tommy Wiseau. If I had to summarize the movie in one word: incoherent. The Good: Interesting premise Extremely cool set pieces Original concept The Bad: Poorly executed, well everything Kilmer and Dern phoned it in Poor visual effects that felt rushed The Ugly: Incoherent plot Both and obvious and ham fisted ending No real catharsis at the end Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Stephen C Success in 1 hour and 28 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring Val Kilmer as Hall Baltimore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Ben P In Twixt, there's a scene where Hall Baltimore (Val Kilmer) is trying to write an outline for his new book. He sits there and chugs whiskey as writer's block sets in. Baltimore becomes increasingly deranged, scratching at his neck, talking about how basketball players from the '60s wore short shorts to jump higher, and doing silly little voices—the groovy score sells this as decidedly comedic, even if you're watching a man quickly lose his mind. It's a specific moment of tonal inconsistency in a tonally inconsistent movie that, right now, as I try to write about this film, feels purposefully mocking. There are multiple scenes like this where Coppola seems to wink at his critics (lines like "But it's gotta have a lot of story; it can't have a lot of that style bullshit"), but it's here, when his protagonist becomes so critical of his own work that he's got to take drugs and dream up the story, that it feels most pointed. It's kind of the crux of my issue writing this review: How do you review a eulogy? Full review on my Substack: https://benpatten.substack.com/ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie blows. It can't achieve anything it wants to be, especially Scary. Won't keep for my collection and am mad I bothered watching it. It's almost as good as the worst Buffy The Vampire episode, Almost. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review Blair M Unwatchable. Dialogue is horribly written, acting is amateur for a star studded cast, there's no plot to speak of, or completely incomprehensible. Motivation for characters actions are never clear. I can't believe this got made. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
