When last Francis Ford Coppola stepped into the horror world it was as a big studio director and the result was 1992's Dracula. Now that he's stepping back into the genre in his low budget, late career indie phase, what will the results be? A little bit ... different.

An aging writer follows his latest book tour to a small town, where he becomes immersed in a real-life murder mystery in this horror film from director Francis Ford Coppola. Later haunted in his dreams by an elusive ghost named V, the writer slowly begins to realize he has an unexpected connection to the gruesome case.

Shot partially in 3D with Val Kilmer and Elle Fanning headlining the cast, the first trailer for Twixt has now arrived. Check it below.

Granted I didn't see the Comic Con footage and I've read only a little about how he plans to screen this but this trailer is fucking terrible. And the film looks really, really bad, like Sy Fy channel bad.

I actually like it. It reminds me of Tetro. Coppola never mentioned it's gonna be a typical horror. One of his first films was an independent horror flick made in a slow-paced gothic manner. I guess with Twixt he's coming back to the roots - to the themes and also to the independent filmmaking. I really enjoyed the symbolism of Tetro and I'm not gonna miss Twixt.

People assure me the Comic Con panel was amazing but this is a terrible trailer. I wouldn't give this shit a second thought if Coppola wasn't attached. At this point I'm more curious than anything. I want to know what people see in this. I hope his tour stops somewhere nearby because the remixing stuff is supposed to make all this special somehow.

I like it. Although, as with any 'horror' movie, it's extremely hard to discern quality from it's trailer - I like that the trailer moves at a snails pace rather than 1 million edits with a lot of screaming broken by silent moments punctuated by more fucking screaming. The sets and cinematography are really, really wonderful.

And since we didn't see a CGI alligator with a shark ass and bat wings, I'll say the SyFy remark skews on the side of hyperbole.

Interesting. Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley in the same film since, what, Willow?
