Twilight
This PG-13 supernatural romance follows teenage Bella Swan as she falls for vampire Edward Cullen in a moody, slow-burn story aimed squarely at teens. The content is largely restrained for a vampire film, but the climax turns intense and the central relationship carries some messaging worth a chat.
Best suited to teens 13 and up, or a mature 12-year-old who already loves the book series.
