ITVX have added the 2008 vampire movie Twilight to their platform, along with three of its sequels, allowing you to watch these 00s classics for free. In addition to the first movie, you can watch the Twilight Saga films Eclipse, Breaking Dawn Part 1, and Breaking Dawn Part 2.
Unfortunately, the film's sequel New Moon hasn't been added to the collection, but if you're an Amazon Prime Video subscriber, it's currently available to watch on there.
Twilight was based on the vampire romance novels of Stephenie Meyer, which were aimed at young adult readers. Both the books and the movies were a huge hit in the 00s and throughout the 10s, kicking off the Vampire Renaissance in pop culture with endless TV shows and movies that had vampire themes.

The movies were especially popular among teenagers, who assigned themselves as Team Edward or Team Jacob, depending on who they thought central character Bella (Kristen Stewart) should end up with.
The first movie starts with ordinary teenage girl Bella moving to a small town in the Pacific Northwest, where she falls in love with a brooding classmate, Edward (Robert Pattinson), who just so happens to be a 108-year-old vampire.
The series then follows Bella as she falls in love with Jacob (Taylor Lautner), a werewolf, and gets involved in a supernatural love triangle, while deciding whether to become a vampire herself.
Twilight is still just as popular today, especially among those who spent their teen years enjoying the franchise, even though the movies and books had mixed reviews at the time. Many fans post on social media to argue that the films are still fun to watch. "I Love all the Twilight movies to this day" said one fan, while another admitted she was "watching twilight movies again".
One fan admitted to watching the movies over 100 times in the past 15 years, with many others saying that they re-watch the movies every year, especially during the cold and gloomy months when the weather captures the mood of the films.
Fans of the franchise might like the new Twilight themed range at Primark that includes comfy pyjamas - perfect for wearing while you binge watch the movies or curl up with one of the books.
