Bella, a reclusive teenage girl, moves to the Pacific Northwest and is immediately drawn to the enigmatic Edward, who happens to be a vampire. Stephenie Meyer's vampire romance novels have become a teenage phenomenon, and the first film in the series turns out to be a very entertaining and visually stunning romantic drama about teenage angst and abstinence. Followed by New Moon.
