5.0 out of 5 stars A kitschy classic!, August 2, 2009

By	Jill A. - See all my reviews

This movie doesn't take the vampire-film theme too seriously...and that's what makes it so great! There is plenty of humor thrown in to balance out the "horror" aspects. The cast is superb: the 2 Coreys do a perfect job in this film of bouncing one-liners off of one another. Kiefer Sutherland is a convincing bad guy, and Jason Patric is great as the protagonist caught between human and vampire. One of the vampires in the bad guys' clan - Billy Wirth, the one with the long dark hair - was a semi-finalist on Season 1 of American Gladiator, for those of you who like useless trivia :) You also get Alex Winter before Bill & Ted fame (albeit with a horribly fake weave in this one). The only low point is the female lead, who plays the character of Starr...I forget her name, she is so unremarkable, she "acts" as though she is reading right off of a Teleprompter, and has some serious overacting on display. But overall, this movie has everything. I've watched this movie so many times over the years, and it never loses its charm for me. This isn't what I'd call a hardcore horror film - there are too many comedy aspects - but it's definitely enjoyable and a lot of fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Still A Fun Ride!!, October 20, 2009

By	Graboidz (Westminster, Maryland) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

When is the last time you checked out "The Lost Boys"? Sometime during the Clinton administration probably? Well go back and re-visit this classic piece of 80's horror because if you are like me, you've forgotten just how fun this film can be!

You have Keifer Sutherland chewing up scenery (and minor characters)as the leader of a motorcycle ridin' vampire clan decked out in a wardrobe straight out of MTV's The Headbangers Ball! You have the two Coreys at the top of their career, you have Jason Patric when it looked like he was going to have a career (hello "Speed 2: Cruise Control"!!???) and Jami Gertz looks smokin' hot....and oh yea, the guy that's not Keanu Reeves from "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" is here too!

What's the basic story? Family moves to sunny California coastal town, with a kick ass amusement park on a pier, plenty of wierdos and a town which also happens to be known as the "murder capital of the world"! Unfortunately the oldest boy draws the attention of the local vampire clan, and before long he's not casting a solid reflection any more. It's up to his geeky little brother and two teenage Van Helsings named "The Frog Brothers" to stop the vampires before they destroy the family. Corny? You betcha! Awesome? Damn straight!

And if things couldn't get better, just wait until you hear the soundtrack!! Okay, the oily body-builder guy playing the sax might be a tad too much, but it's the 80's what do you expect? The music is fantastic, and if you don't own the soundtrack on CD, please follow the links below, and pick that puppy up right away.

So what more is there to say, if you were a child of the 80's..you must OWN this film. If you think Sexy vampires were invented when "Twilight" came out...think again. This is a great, fun film that has stood the test of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite vampire move ever., July 17, 2009

By	T. J. Mathews (Livermore, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Lost Boys is a classic. Long before Kiefer Sutherland was torturing terrorists he was fanging teens on the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. The soundtrack is haunting and unforgettable and the script is good enough that it doesn't have to throw in too much blood and gore to keep the viewer on the edge of the seat.

FYI: The 'R' rating assigned to Lost Boys is a bit harsh. A PG-13 would be more accurate. I showed it to my pre-teen daughters with no regrets.
