Let’s face it. The appeal of love comes from its inaccessibility, as well as from the impediments that get in its way every time it burns more fiercely. Thus, if you add a couple of vampires and separate good and evil forces, you may find yourself looking at a great success. And if the story is based on a bestselling book, you might as well throw a party and enjoy the sensation you’ve created.

Taking into account that “Twilight” gathers all these pluses and has even produced an entire craze, one can’t possibly doubt its profitability. While it benefits from a romantic plot and a charming young cast, the film based on one of Stephenie Meyer’s vampire novels, adds a bit of teenage drama to the engaging love story between an ordinary girl and a blood-sucking 108-year-old creature.

Although Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is one of Dracula’s followers, he doesn’t seem to bite. At least he’s not into human blood. He nevertheless is very much into human beings, as our dark hero falls in love with one of his classmates.

“Twilight” resembles other vampire flicks with regard to the subject of reserved lust, wild desire, as well as bloody drops that taint pure feelings, but it’s not as sinister and mysterious as one would guess at first glance.

Edward may look like an out-of-this-world being, since his face is ashen, his lips are red and his eyes are incredibly deep, but he does not bite. He leads a bizarrely calm and decent life in the small town of Forks, Washington, a place that appears to have been condemned to linger under grey, thick rain clouds. His dad, Carlisle Cullen (Peter Facinelli), has an ethereal paleness and a very smooth, almost ghostly way of walking, as he was turned into a supernatural creature in the 17^th century and has transformed young people into vampires ever since in order to save them from death.

When Bella Swan moves to Forks so as to live with her divorced father, Charlie (Billy Burke), she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic nature of her colleague. Edward sees the superiority inside her and, thus, they fall in love effortlessly.

In spite of the fact that the two characters have some chemistry going on in there and manage to emanate a beautiful sentiment, especially throughout a delightful scene in which they mingle with the fresh elements of wilderness, the plot’s moral tendency is likely to outshine the magic that links the two different personas. But “Twilight” will not fade away.
