Twixt by Francis Ford Coppola

Twixt is a spooky movie!
Set in the small and bizarre town of Swann Valley, it follows the story of a profitless mystery writer named Hall Baltimore. He is on a tour across America for his latest series of witch novels, which are not selling. The sheriff of the town approaches him with an idea for a new novel. There is a girl's body in the morgue with a wooden stake stabbed through her. So ensues a whirlwind of vampiric myths, murder, intrigue, ghosts, dreams, and time-travel.
This is probably the only scary movie that I have ever truly enjoyed. The stories, and the confusing nature of the plot (you never know what is a dream and what is real) make the movie so entertaining. The way the film is shot is also very interesting. The colors and the cinematography was obviously slaved over, and it was all totally worth it!
My favorite character was a young girl named Virginia who likes being called V. She is very spunky and sassy. She also has a very interesting story, one that may or may not be made up...
