Review of The Lost Boys (1987) by Rose A — 19 Sep 2011
The Lost Boys is an awesome, thrilling, funny and scary vampire film. This film is responsible for my interest in horror, my love of the genre and my love of vampire films. I first seen this film when I was 8 years old, and I loved it right from the start.
Then I was hooked on horror films. The Lost Boys is Kiefer Sutherland's best film; he's awesome as David, the leader of the boys. I won't reveal who is the head vampire, don't want to spoil anything for you.
This film features eccentric characters (Grandpa, The Frog Brothers) and is a very cool film, of all the vampire films that I've seen, and I've seen many since my first viewing of this treasure, this film is one of the best films of the vampire genre and along with Fright Night and Near Dark is one of the most memorable vampire films of the 80's.
It's hip, it's cool and it's a fun film to watch on Halloween. Not to mention it's Joel Schumacher's greatest achievement as a director, he made a fairly decent Batman film (Batman Forever) and butchered the series with another (Batman and Robin) and directed another good thriller, Phone Booth.
But The Lost Boys will always remain his greatest yet, he isn't exactly Spielberg. But enjoy The Lost Boys for what it is, a solid vampire film and mandatory Halloween viewing. This is one of the best horror films of the 1980's.
If you love vampire films, check out The Lost Boys.
