This is probably the worst movie ever. Twenty (thirty?) years later with an entirely different cast (other than poor Corey) and a lame plot, this movie should not even be able to bear the title The Lost Boys. Don't even bother watching it. Seriously.

Pleae note that the four star review is for anyone buying this DVD and expecting a mindless time waster. If you are expecting a great movie that you can give to your friends and get excited about, forget it. Buy the original cult hit. But if you are expecting a pleasant diversion that reminds you enough of the old movie to hit your nostalgia pleasure centers and moves along at an even clip, this is the movie for you.
Of course, it's still got it's annoying dopiness. Corey Feldman is a truly terrible actor. But at least he's instantly recognizeable as Corey Feldman. I think he looks the same as the old days, but he's also been solidly in the C-List with Howard Stern appearances and those Surreal Life episodes (where somehow he beat out Hammer, Emmanuel Lewis, Vince Neal and the Survivor chicks in order to obtain the designation as "the annoying one"). When Corey Haim shows up for his requisite cameo, he looks really different from his childhood version. I had to go to IMDB to find out who he was in order to get the joke. But really, Corey Feldman has one acting decision to make and that's to growl like Christian Bale in the Bat Suit. Oh and at one point he drops his voice when he has to mention a family member becoming a vampire.
Thankfully the rest of the cast is a little better, but a lot of the scenes are tailor made to make you remember and appreciate the original. There's the death by antler scene, the sunglasses in the daytime bit, the "here drink some vampire blood thinking it's wine" scene and the mysterious woman at the party who learns the guy in. And of course, the main vampire is a very cool longhaired blond dude with facial stubble. He definitely doesn't have the smoldering intensity of Keiffer Sutherland. And for stunt casting and irony, the girl he's trying to seduce is played by Keiffer Sutherland's daughter. And she's actually pretty good.
So all in all, some funny scenes. Some pretty good lines and no real horror. But how many horror movies are that scary? The original is better, but it's not like you need to be told that.

My first glimpse of this film was a number of months back when they released it in a very nice package. So, I saw it recently in a terrible package, and decided to buy it anyway.
The first five minutes of LOST BOYS The Tribe basically lead you on, since it is done more along the lines of what the original film did, as well as having Tom Savini's cameo as the victim Vampire,it appears to be a sequel. Its not to say that the film is not watch-able, just that its not in the same league as the original LOST BOYS, and so its kind of sad to see the brilliant franchise brought back for some wanna-be BLADE vampire seconds. The big plus is Edgar Frog; Corey Feldman reprises his original role in a fairly neat way that really deserved an exposition scene as in "how I got here from there" sort of thing. We get plenty of character from Corey in his role, but the director seems so obsessed with showing that Vampires would be Extreme Sport fans with enough cash to use an expensive Hacienda as a play pen, but still stick to Edgars Vampire rules and sleep in a decaying hovel, that it kind of stretches the character element.There are the elements here that could have saved this film, but unfortunately someone forgot to ask for a re-write.Other than that is kind of fun, but if you are expecting LOST BOYS part 2, then do not.
THE DVD: No Commentary at all.The "Action Junkies" feature is no biggie to the point of being, WHY?? Its a waste of time, and only a few minutes at that, since it explains very little. Edgar Frog's Guide to Surviving is great, and shows why Corey does such a cool job in the film. The alternate endings are a tad better than the one squeezed in at the finish, and look like it was the basis for a re-shoot ( i.e. someone at the studio decided that this was not going anywhere but direct to video).
