What A Twist! Francis Ford Coppola’s “Twixt” Arrives on Blu-ray July 23
This should be interesting. I have been hearing about Francis Ford Coppola’s latest experimental film Twixt for quite some time. It was taken on the road and made out to be an interactive film experience, complete with 3D, a mix of color and black and white imagery, and various means to keep the audience very involved with what happens in the film. I am not at all sure how that worked, but at least I will be able to see a “definitive” version of Twixt on Blu-ray this coming July. On July 23, Twixt arrives on Blu-ray and will surely be a trip, as I attempt to watch and evaluate it. Coppola is obviously a legend, as far as filmmakers go, but this later stage of his career has been responsible for some interesting choices on his part. Hopefully Twixt will turn out to be more than just an interesting take on gothic horror filmmaking. Read on to learn more about this upcoming release.

As he uncovers more horrifying revelations, Hall discovers that the story has more to do with his own life than he could ever have imagined.
