Review of The Lost Boys (1987) by Jason J — 03 Mar 2012

One of the best 80's teen vampire movies ever and I can't even remember the countless number of times I've watched it. Everybody that grew up during the late 80's probably rates this as one of their favorite movies. It has an awesome storyline with a pulsating soundtrack and a killer cast.

Michael and Sam are two brothers who have just moved with their mother to a new town. Michael wastes no time getting himself mixed up with a mysterious beauty and her family of vampires who hang out in a ruined hotel nestled within the San Andreas Fault led by David. Soon he succumbs to their seduction into being a member of the undead. The younger brother Sam meets up with a pair of vampire slaying brothers who run a comic book store and try to warn him that this town is different from where he lived before.

Everything just gelled together perfectly to create a memorable fun movie. Comedy, drama and horror - it's all there with some funny one-liners such as "Holy Shit, it's the attack of Eddie Munster"! I'll never get tired of watching The Lost Boys. If you're one of the very few not to have seen it, do yourself a favor and go buy it. You won't regret it.
