Review of The Lost Boys (1987) by Erica L — 05 Apr 2015
The Lost Boys came out far too early to be considered satirical, however during a contemporary viewing its cynical tone can't be missed. Whilst its thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish for a variety of reasons (the amazing soundtrack, the campy tone and Dianne Wiest's parodical enigma of a clueless mother) the film suffers from plenty of set-backs.
The tone is inconsistent throughout and features many examples of how slap-stick nonsense can really water down a solid story.
