The Lost Boys

The Lost Boys stars Corey Haim (Lucas, Silver Bullet, License to Drive), Dianne Wiest (Footloose, Parenthood, Bright Lights Big City), Jason Patric (Solar Babies), Keefer Sutherland (Stand By Me, Bright Lights Big City, Young Guns), Corey Feldman (Gremlins, Goonies, License to Drive, Stand By Me) and Jaime Gurtz (Solar Babies, Less Than Zero). Wiest is a recent divorcee named Lucy Emerson who moves to Santa Carla, California with her children Michael (Patric) and Sam (Haim) to live with her dad.

It’s hard enough to be the new kid in town, and Sam’s (Haim) got his share of troubles. Almost immediately he meets the Frog brothers (Feldman and Jamison Newlander) the self proclaimed vampire killers who tell him, “We've been aware there's some very serious vampire activity in this town for some time." Now the vampire activity touches close to the Emerson home.

Big brother Michael (Patric) is being groomed by the vampire gang. The boys led by David (Sutherland), terrorize the coastal town, taking victims at will. They set their fangs on making Michael a fellow blood sucker. Lured by Star (Gertz), Michael slowly begins the transformation.

The David’s gang and Michael’s transformation is being threatened by the team of Frog, Frog and Emerson. See the totally awesome battle between good and evil as Michael’s fate is played out.

Big budget, lot’s of action and bodacious aerial vampire flight and fight make this movie a definite must see. It’s also great to see some of the vampires get what they deserve.

The Lost Boys is a very funny comedy. Great lines include, “I think I should warn you all, when a vampire bites it, it's never a pretty sight. No two bloodsuckers go the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly, some explode, some implode, but all will try to take you with them .”

My favorite scenes include the “Lonely Frog” song, the comic store where the Frogs meet Sam and about any scene with the vampire hunters. I think you’ll agree.

The Lost Boys has a totally awesome soundtrack “Cry Little Sister” gave this movie its music identity. Hey, that’s what it’s known for.
The Lost Boys is rated R
