Review of Lost Boys: The Thirst (2010) by Johnny T — 27 Mar 2011

Our only hope was that the films tied into the original, paid respectful homage to it and included a bunch of dumb fun. Lost Boys: The Tribe didn't. The Thirst, on the other hand, does and there by cleanses the palate of its awful predecessor. It's not a "good movie" but it's fun and Lost Boys fans can breathe a sigh of relief that this third film attempts, and mostly succeeds, to do right by them. Corey Feldman and fellow Frog brother Jamison Newlander do about as good a job as possible with the talent assembled for Lost Boys: The Thirst. They've created an entertaining Lost Boys sequel with a B-movie sensibility. It's passable, watchable action packed schlock that will keep true fans of the series smiling.

VERDICT: "Rental" - (Negative to Mixed reaction). These films are only worth renting because of certain good things that are worth seeing, but are not worth paying at a theatre to see due to bad things that overcome anything good.
