Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and Thrasher, and Alex Miller discuss Breaking Dawn Part 1, the fourth film in the Twilight Saga. Starring Billy Burke, Taylor Lautner, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart. Bella is pregnant with a human vampire hybrid.
A rather elegiac entry, Breaking Dawn Part 1 finally has Bella and Edward getting married. During their honeymoon, she becomes pregnant with a human vampire hybrid to deadly and gruesome results. Much like the first Twilight film, this feels more like a romance than anything else. Slow paced with somewhat effective body horror at the end, Breaking Dawn Part 1 feels like a chapter expanded into a novel. Makeup is especially good here (a gaunt Kristen Stewart is a bit too convincing). There's not much drama to be had beyond the core characters. One of the worst in the Twlight Saga.
