Amazon.com:
This 1987 thriller was a predictable hit with the teen audience it worked overtime to attract. Like most of director Joel Schumacher's films, it's conspicuously designed to push the right marketing and demographic buttons, and granted, there's some pretty cool stuff going on here and there. Take Kiefer Sutherland, for instance. In Stand by Me he played a memorable bully, but here he goes one step further as a memorable bully vampire who leads a tribe of teenage vampires on their nocturnal spree of bloodsucking havoc. Jason Patric plays the new guy in town, who quickly attracts a lovely girlfriend (Jami Gertz), only to find that she might be recruiting him into the vampire fold. The movie gets sillier as it goes along, and resorts to a routine action-movie showdown, but it's a visual knockout (featuring great cinematography by Michael Chapman) and boasts a cast that's eminently able (pardon the pun) to sink their teeth into the best parts of an uneven screenplay. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I created a monster!
I purchase this dvd for my daughter who is a big goosebump fan, I remember this movie being a big hit when I was growing up, since I could not remember all the parts, I screen the movie first,before letting my 8yr old watch it, and thought it would be fine, it did not have any nudity, or sexual scenes except for one part which was very minor compare to whats on T.V today, there is one part of the movie that is a little gruesum, but it goes so fast it dosent have much impact. There is alot of humor ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Brings back such good memories.
I can understand if the Newer generation of kids are not digging this movie. I must say though that this is one of the best films of the 80's. Personally, I think it's untouchable. The lost boys: The tribe doesn't even come close to the greatness of the this one which is the original. It's really hard to put into words though because I grew up in the 80's and this movie was strongly talked about at that time. For people that grew up in the 80's and were old enough to get into the movie, this movie ... Read More

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Two hours I'll never get back
My girlfriend made me watch this movie. Halfway through I was fantasizing about Corey Feldman staking me through the heart just to end the agony. Horrible acting, cheesey dialog, half baked delivery, and worse, it's not remotely funny or cool. Except for Corey Haim's clothes. Those are funny.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sleep all day! Party all night!
THE LOST BOYS is not a comedy yet has many comedy aspects. This film never took itself too seriously but it didn't make fun of itself either. The scary moments, when they come, convey the real horror of life and death without mocking it. The Lost Boys along with a few Vampire Films from the 80's helped establish what we view as the modern Vampire. This film was written by Janice Fischer, James Jeremias and Jeffrey Boam. Directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, ... Read More
