Review of The Lost Boys (1987) by Desson Howe for Washington Post — 11 Dec 1987
The film loses courage (or imagination) and hews to the Spielberg school of climactic denouement, so that teen farce and special effects take over. By the time the thing has played out, that subtle scare/laugh mix is a thing of the past and you feel as though you just walked out of "Breaking Away" or Goonies.
Ah well.
