My sister tells me Twilight is good because it appeals to the teenager/ young adult desires and ideas of romance. It is a simplistic plot twisted around vampirism and stretched through 4 books, but still manages to capture the element of cliche teen love almost too perfectly. The bond between Bella and Edward is so reminisant of teenage drama shows that it catches the same audience. The real reason behind the success of Twilight is that it brought vampire romance to a new audience. It isn't anything new, but this was the first time a young audience found appeal in a mix of typical romance and paranormal elements.
Much the same way Harry Potter got a younger generation interested in Fantasy... except that was done properly.
Well those people that like Twilight are the ones who ethier haven't seen a real vampire flick or read a good book (like Bram Stoker's Dracula) or have a stupidly bad taste in films and books.
Good luck convincing a twelve year old to read Dracula front to back. You do have a bit of a point, but assuming people who like Twilight have bad taste is a bit ignorant. It's about appeal to an audience, which Twilight succeeded in whether you like that or not. It's not that people have a terrible taste in film or books, it's just that most don't care about famous fiction (such as Dracula or Nosferatu) because such fiction does not appeal to them.
Unfortunatley you can't shove Dracula into a teens face and say 'Read that, it's good,' because they won't. When they grow up, though, then they might be drawn to more than just silly romace... but also gothic, fantasy, dark romance, paranormal, and historic appeal.
TL;DR version: Teens like kissy kissy, not bitey bitey. Twilight has lots of kissy kissy, Edward sexy etc etc. Me John, big tree!
As for this movie. It will suck *Rimshot*. Audiences are pretty much aware of the FailDuo's movies, and Vampires Suck will be an interesting case of how much they can reference that isn't Twilight (pretty much the whole movie will be anything but Twilight). I just hope that all the Twilight fans don't go to see this, because if they don't this movie will bomb and make little to no money. Yay!
