Twixt

In the remote outskirts of a forgotten countryside, Hall Baltimore, a once‑celebrated author known for his dark historical novels, arrives to escape the clamor of city life and to find fresh material for his next book. The village itself seems suspended in time, its narrow lanes and weathered stone buildings humming with whispers of long‑ago tragedies and folk tales that refuse to stay buried.

The atmosphere is thick with an unsettling mix of dread and curiosity. Legends of vampires flicker through the locals’ conversations like half‑remembered lullabies, while the very clock tower in the centre of town stubbornly displays contradictory hours, suggesting that reality here bends to the whims of collective memory. As Hall Baltimore settles in, the line between the tangible and the nightmarish begins to blur, turning his research into a feverish, almost hallucinatory experience.

Among the village’s peculiar inhabitants, Sheriff Bobby LaGrange stands out—a fervent admirer of the writer’s work who offers both companionship and cryptic encouragement. A shy, enigmatic girl known only as V becomes an unexpected fan, her presence hinting at deeper currents that run beneath the surface of the community. Even the ghost of Edgar Allan Poe seems to linger in the shadows, his literary legacy weaving into the town’s eerie tapestry and nudging the author toward stories that feel both personal and otherworldly.

The film drifts between the ordinary and the uncanny, painting a portrait of a creative mind wrestling with inspiration in a place where every whispered legend could be a fragment of truth. Moodily lit corridors, muted conversations, and the perpetual hum of an unseen clock create a surreal backdrop, inviting viewers to wonder how much of what unfolds is imagined, remembered, or truly alive in the village’s dark heart.
