The Twilight of Ruining Vampires and Werewolf.

Rating: 5/10 (3 February 2016)

Twilight (2008): Dir: Catherine Hardwicke / Cast: Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Billy Burke, Peter Facinelli, Ashley Greene: Bizarre teen vampire romance starring Kristen Stewart who moves into a new school only to be intrigued by a group of anti-social individuals who happen to be vampires. After being saved by one, she develops a romance but tension heats up when dangers close in. The whole romantic element might fascinate female viewers but to hard core fang fans it will be seen as an insult. Director Catherine Hardwicke is backed by superb visual effects but the screenplay is more an idea that sounded right at the time. Stewart is terrific as the curious teen who goes from new girl in town to becoming the girlfriend to a vampire. Her desire to become a vampire herself certainly indicates that her self outlook is lacking. Robert Pattinson does well as the vampire whose family eats animals only. That is a sneaky method of making them the good guys even though it is merely tacky. Billy Burke plays Stewart's father who moves her into town and then is involved in a string of murder investigations. Featured among flat supporting roles are Peter Facinelli as a fellow vampire in the clan. Ashley Greene plays another vampire who came make predictions into the future based on one's choices. Interesting theme regarding relationship gaps within a totally warped worldview. Score: 5 Â½ / 10
