The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is an obvious attempt to replicate the success of Twilight, only instead of Robert Pattinson the mission to break the hearts of female spectators was entrusted Jamie Bauer… It is not for us to judge how the young actor managed to cope with the task, but the tape was crushed by critics. However, the film found its audience – many fans of “Twilight” in particular, and fantasy romance, in general, greeted the project approvingly.

Clary was an ordinary teenager and hardly thought about really serious things, but soon everything changed. The girl began to see some mystical creatures who were not very friendly.

Beautiful creatures

Director: Richard LaGravenes

As often happens, really interesting ideas that can captivate the audience are very poorly revealed in the cinema.

main character Melanie (Saoirse Ronan) although it fell into the hands of aliens, but refused to surrender. She constantly unsettles the new mistress of her body and forces Wanderer feel a sense of shame for the behavior of relatives.

If you are interested in German Twilight in a new way, Timeless: The Ruby Book is a good choice. Low-budget European cinema knows how to surprise, and although this project can hardly be called a masterpiece, the teenage audience received another tape on the theme of love in fantastic scenery.

Bringing

Director: Michael Saxxy

Genre: romance

Year of issue: 2018

Now we are not talking about the cult melodrama with Patrick Swayze and Demmy Moor starring. However, “Casting” Michael Saxxy has also become a kind of classic in the reporting genre. Unlike many analogs, this tape carries a very specific message – the inner content of a person is much more important than his appearance. We often forget about this in real life, so making this thought tangible is a very good, albeit banal, idea.

The guy had a difficult fate – he wakes up every day in the body of another person and lives for him these 24 hours. One day he meets the girl of his dreams and no longer wants to lose her. Every day, in a new guise, he finds an opportunity to spend precious minutes with her and reveals the truth about himself.

Year of issue: 2013

The leader of the rating does not have a very high rating, but it stands out favorably against the background of most of these tapes. In the painting “The Heat of Our Bodies” there is a charming guy – a zombie (Nicholas Hoult) and the surviving girl (Teresa Palmer), which he saves by gathering the last remnants of humanity into a fist. Gradually, distrust gives way to curiosity, and then warm feelings. Although such an alliance is not approved by both sides of the conflict (people and zombies), the couple will try to go through all the obstacles.

Also, the tape carries a clear message – love has incredible healing power. Jonathan Levin made sure that everything did not look too vanilla, he filled the picture with irony and humor of good quality. And although the director admitted that he was inspired by “Twilight” when making the film, the tapes are more similar in storyline than technically.
