Twilight (2008) Story Summary

2. Plot synopsis (concise)

The script was adapted by Melissa Rosenberg, and principal photography took 44 days, filming primarily in Washington

Unlike glossy vampire films of the past (think Interview with the Vampire ), Twilight introduced a desaturated, blue-toned visual language. This "Pacific Northwest gloom" became so iconic that it spawned a thousand parodies. Watching the 2008 original today is a time capsule of late-2000s indie filmmaking bleeding into mainstream blockbusters.
