Introduction
Twilight film is a romantic fantasy film based on the novel “Twilight” by Stephenie Meyer (Clarke 3). Twilight focuses on a new found relationship between a teenage girl and a vampire and how the vampire and his family tries to save the girl from a coven of evil vampires. Women liked watching Twilight and even became obsessed with it watching it more than once. This paper takes a critical analysis of why Twilight movie is so popular.
Why the audience mostly compromised women of varying ages
The Twilight eclipse made women of all ages develop an insatiable hunger that made them like everything in the film and all the characters. The women became lustful for the externally devoted leading man. Psychologically, men and women think differently about sex as men are turned on by visual clues and this means the differences between men and women are based on attractions. Therefore, the film Twilight attracted more women the vampire in the movie is a bad boy and women tend to be attracted to dangerous men who are unpredictable and strong (Erzen 46). Women tend to be attracted to masculine men and the vampire in the movie possessed these masculine traits. The vampire in Twilight was dangerous, although at times it was romantic and this made women to be obsessed with Twilight. Women tend to be attracted to masculine men as women take them as courageous, strong and self-confident and they can protect them in case of danger. Therefore, the vampire in the film has some romantic qualities and still a bad boy with exaggerated qualities which makes sense to women and makes them fall in love with the vampire (Mail Online, 3 July, 2010).

The romance episodes between the teenage girl and the vampire were a major attraction to women to Twilight. The love triangle between the girl and Taylor reaches its peak with Eclipse and this teaches that a man can make a girl seduce him instead of seducing her (Hardwicke 2008). The vampire expresses the love to the girl through kissing her and this makes the girl grasp him for more. Even though in his assessment of the film, Dr. Hawes argues that, “the character Bella in the film Twilight fails to confront the challenges in life of a modern 17-year old girl but rather opts to evade them by being transformed into a vampire” (Clarke 8). However, women are obsessed with the manner in which “Edward” the man in her life adores her with contact through taking her face in his hands, brushing his fingers across her cheek and offering a protective hand around her waist before kissing her. All these actions attract women and make them obsessed with Twilight as they are romantic scenes (Mail Online, 3 July, 2010).
