The Lost Boys 1987
1h 37m | Comedy, Horror | 31 July 1987 (USA)
Storyline:A mother and her two sons move to a small coast town in California. The town is plagued by bikers and some mysterious deaths. The younger boy makes friends with two other boys who claim to be vampire hunters while the older boy is drawn into the gang of bikers by a beautiful girl. The older boy starts sleeping days and staying out all night while the younger boy starts getting into trouble because of his friends’ obsession.User review:OK everyone agrees THE LOST BOYS was way ahead of its time. Dead set right! In essence it hasn’t aged at all, only the fashions! By far Corey Haim’s best flick, Cory Feldham’s too, although I rather liked TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (The original, that is)Schumacher’s concept of placing the vampire myth in sleepyville USA was commendable, it really worked. Sutherland took his role in both teeth and gave us a stylish vampire-on-a-Harley with Jami Gertz in tow. God does SHE look young here compared to her role as Bill Paxton’s neurotic fiancee in TWISTER?)Absolutely outstanding soundtrack that my kids have totally worn out the last decade or so. As a family we have probably watched THE LOST BOYS more than any other film. Everything gels, gr8 fx and, given the subject matter, a literate script.Deserving of the relatively high rating it has received here. WE have the same problem here in Castle Hill, WAY too many damn vampires!
