Number of Times Seen – Too many to count(cable and 16 Sep 2014)
Brief Synopsis – After a family moves to a new seaside town, the two sons start to suspect that the town is inhabited by vampires.
My Take on it – As a kid I saw this movie soooooo many times on cable. I also remember reading the official novel adapted from the script.
It’s such a fun take on the vampire genre.
It’s obvious that the writers are simultaneously spoofing the genre but also making it fun and adventurous.
I love the cast and it’s great seeing all of them so young.
Very young Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Jason Patrick, Kiefer Sutherland and Jami Gertz are all very fun to watch here.
Bottom Line – Not the best movie ever made about vampires but the cast and the fact that the script doesn’t take iself seriously makes this a fun movie to watch. Recommended!
Rating – Globe Worthy

There was a sequel?

I’m afraid to say, yes. Yes, there was. I only happened upon it because a friend from work, who sporadically upgrades his DVD collection to Blu-Ray, brought in some DVDs for us to take home.
I suppose the box set must have been the same price as the first film on its own, hence his ownership of something so awful. I can’t imagine he set out to acquire a film this unforgivably bad!

Lost Boys is a classic. Its the most 80s thing ever created and I love it

It’s not the most 80s thing ever, Mike. You’re just too young to not realize that. 😉

I actually watched this for the first time last year. I’m with you–it’s fun enough, but not the best movie ever. I remember Mutant griping at me for not giving it an A. 😉
