Twilight is a 2008 supernatural fantasy/romance film--the first in the absurdly popular Twilight franchise.
It is notable for taking a gigantic, steaming shit all over vampire lore, as well as its utterly insane fangirls that easily trump the Saw franchise's and the Transformers franchise's for most rabidly apologetic film fanbase in all of existence.
At the time of recording, it also obliterated the record for most Courtneys ever seen in a Tiradesverse movie, previously held by Birdemic. (This record has since been broken numerous times.)

- Plot convenience -
- Every single time Bella or Edward stare at each other, the other one will always look up at them as if they knew the other was staring
- Edward zooms into the parking lot to save Bella from being raped just in the nick of time
- Bella and Edward hurriedly drive by a diner as all of Bella's school friends leave (in slow-motion) just so the filmmakers can try to fool us into thinking Bella gives two shits about any of them
- "Bella, you fell down two flights of stairs and through a window and broke your leg. We'll completely ignore the fang wounds on your wrist, though."
- Individual villain introduction
- MacGuffin Disease - The vampire "venom" that infects Bella's body at the end
- Instant Love - Duh.
