Twilight

An adaptation of the popular vampire saga by Stephenie Meyer, Twilight’s cast is headed by rising idols Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. As Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, the pair smolder in their star-crossed parts.

Just like the book, the feature skews towards the romance instead of the horror. There’s not a huge amount of action for a film about vampires but that’s what makes Twilight’s story interesting. As a backdrop for notions on forbidden love the teen romance fits – and compliments. The young cast handle their parts well, substituting charisma in place of gore. [More]
