The Twilight saga redefined supernatural romance for people born around 2000s. I remember, how girls in my high school were hyped for the second part of Twilight.
Adapted from Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novels, these films follow the intense and complicated love story between Bella Swan, a human girl, and Edward Cullen, a vampire torn between affection and instinct.
Set in the misty town of Forks, Washington, the series blends fantasy, emotion, and coming-of-age drama while exploring themes of love, immortality, and identity. From forbidden attraction to epic supernatural confrontations, the saga unfolds across five films that trace Bella’s transformation and the collision of human, vampire, and werewolf worlds.
