Review of The Lost Boys (1987) by Lea L — 21 Jan 2011
The Lost boys - Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire.
**************************************************.
Following the divorce of their parents, Micheal & Sam Emerson, along with their mother Lucy, move to Santa Carla, California to live with their mother's father, a peculiar old man. Santa Carla happens to be the murder capital of the world....Sam laughs off rumours he hears about vampires who inhabit the small town. But after Mike meets a beautiful girl at the local amusement park, he begins to exhibit the classic signs of vampirism. Fearing for his own safety, Sam recruits two young vampire hunters to save his brother by finding and destroying the head vampire...
**************************************************.
The Lost Boys was definitely up there as one of the better horror movies of the late 1980s. It had style and decent acting with some offbeat humor that kept me entertained. This movie was probably one of the last good films involving both Coreys. Even Kiefer Sutherland, who now plays a cop in the hit series 24, made the role of the seeming lead vampire one of his own...
**************************************************.
A wisely chosen cast including Jason Patrick, Dianne Wiest, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Alex Winter, Billy Wirth and the two Coreys who bring extra fun with their performances; Corey Haim and Corey Feldman with some good character actors like Edward Herrmann and Barnard Hughes.
**************************************************.
The Lost Boys is great fun all the way and remains one of the most stylish modern vamp movies around. This is one of the most memorable vampire movie I've ever seen. If you haven't watched it, you absolutely have to rent it one night with your friends, family or significant other. Make some popcorn, turn out the lights and spend 100 minutes immersed in this freaky little classic. It would be highly enjoyed by old or a younger audience.

Joel Schumacher did an amazing job at this teen horror/comdey vampire movie...
