A washed-up horror novelist arrives in a sleepy town on a book tour, only to stumble into a string of eerie murders. Haunted by dreams of a ghostly girl named V and guided by the spirit of Edgar Allan Poe, he’s drawn into a nightmarish world where fiction and reality blur—and the story he’s chasing leads back to his own buried guilt.

Very stylish and I liked the gothic atmosphere; also a solid performance from Val Kilmer. Other than that I don't have much to say, it falls a little short. Maybe that's the very short runtime or the fact that I'm just used to Coppola's much more drawn out runtimes.

A clock tower with 7 sides so you can always see the time from any angle but they all show different times… is such an awesome idea to have and put in your movie
