Critic Reviews

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Easily [Coppola's] silliest work ever.
Bill Chambers, Film Freak Central
This is perhaps not personal but private filmmaking.
Christopher Campbell, Movies.com
Never mind post-production conversion atrocities, Twixt is the worst thing for the 3D format in years.
Brad Miska, Bloody Disgusting
'Twixt' a bland, cheesy, poorly shot snoozer that's not even fun as a midnight movie.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
The Godfather it's not, but this had more vigor and immediacy than either Youth Against Youth or Tetro.
Catherine Shoard, Guardian [UK]
People raised their hands in joy when Coppola announced he was returning to horror after his recent wobbly adventures in the arthouse. They'll be begging him to reconsider - or perhaps just simply to stop - after seeing this.

It is painful to see Coppola indulging himself in this personal nonsense, an incoherent mess that doesn't know if it wants to be an unscary gothic horror story, an overstylized nightmare or an unfunny comedy. It is only bland, pointless and, even worse, sleep-inducing.
