As a young girl falls into her first relationship with a much older, manipulative man, she is pulled away from her family and into a world of darkness. Deeper into secrets, danger, and even left to die. No matter what others tell her, she will not leave his side, instead abandoning any other ties to her former life and closer to his embrace. Despite hospital stays, an unplanned pregnancy, and a brush with a cult of vampiric leaders, the traumas and supernatural occurrences will not release the girl.

If you were around in the late 2000s, you had an opinion about Twilight and therefore had some form of Twilight phase. Whether you loved it, hated it, or avoided it, one can’t deny that it left an impression. Now almost twenty years from the release of the first book, it has not released its cold, dead grip from many a fan (myself included).

Whether you are looking to see what all the fuss is about for the first time, revisit a beloved favorite, or understand the memes from Twilight Shitposting (ever so highly recommended), now is better than ever a time thanks to The Twilight Saga 15th Anniversary SteelBook Collection on 4K Ultra HD with Blu-ray and Digital at Best Buy available from Lionsgate.

Celebrate the 15th anniversary of the first Twilight film and experience Bella and Edward’s epic love story, the dangerous feud between vampires and werewolves, and more unforgettable moments in the entire 5-film collection of Twilight: The Complete Saga. This special anniversary collection comes with four art cards and seven pieces of interchangeable cover art. Includes Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 1, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 2, and over twelve hours of special features.

The SteelBook collection arrives in a beautiful slipcover set that is slotted so that none of the cases will get scratched, with stunning cases that each feature artwork both outside and on the inside underneath the discs. Each case is very secure and clicks the discs into place to prevent them from slipping around, keeping them as a keepsake for collectors for years to come. You can also check out our unboxing video here. 

 

 

Twilight SteelBook

While the discs all have the same artwork on each type (4K UHD, Blu-ray, and Special Features), the colors are themed per film to match the case, creating a gorgeous display and helping one to remember where they should return when you marathon them and keeping a cohesive theme.

The first time available on 4K Ultra High Definition, the upgrade in quality to the previous releases is undeniable and absolutely worth the price of the set. Not only will it help one to continue enjoying the series for many more years, but seeing the Forks scenery depicted more clearly only strengthens its solemnity.

With over twelve hours of extras, this collection is the most comprehensive to date. Take a look!

While one will receive the most imposing experience from 4K, most of the extras are featured on Blu-Ray, so the collection is still worth investing in if you’re not there just yet, allowing for this set to be experienced by many viewers on a wider range of equipment.

As you can see, the extras are comprehensive, to say the least, and are the best strength in an already stunning collection. Find out inside jokes that the cast and crew have such as lining up cans of Ranier just so, what lines could have replaced “Hang on Tight, Spider Monkey”, and more. The set totals 607 minutes of Twilight content for your viewing pleasure.

Functioning as a time capsule of nostalgia, the collection’s extras are primarily provided by Borders, a now-defunct bookstore chain similar to Barnes & Noble. As a way to peek into the zeitgeist of the era, the interviews, red-carpet shows, and documentaries are fascinating with the fashions, references, and easter eggs contained within. Even as a seasoned fan, I was surprised by how much insider information I learned, and how comfortable the rest felt to revisit fifteen years later.

What is your take on The Twilight Saga? Were you there since the first book? Did you hate it, and then warm up, or do you find it overrated? Are you in it for the memes? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Don’t forget to check out the The Twilight Saga SteelBook Collection available exclusively from Best Buy thanks to Lionsgate out now.
