I don't know how this compares to the book but the movie adaptation is a good vampire tale with some interesting characters. Teenager Bella (Kristin Stewart) moves in with her father in Washington State and there she meets and falls for Edward, the silent mysterious guy who is her lab partner. There's an immediate chemistry between them and he ends up saving her life when a car swerves out of control and nearly squashes her. She figures out quickly that Edward is a vampire and he reveals he has been 17 years old "for a while" (about ninety-years). Just when their relationship begins there are some brutal murders in town. A new group of vampires is passing through and they are not "vegetarians" like Edward and his family. And one of these vampires gets it in his mind to hunt down and kill Bella. Of course, it's up to Edward and his vampire "family" to protect her.
TWILIGHT doesn't really add anything new to the vampire genre but it is an interesting movie, primarily because of the actors performances.
