DVD Features: Production Notes Theatrical Trailer
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: - An 80's horror hit that has never looked better.
For those who are in their mid to late 30's, we all have our ties to the 80's. Some love that decade as I do, and some want to forget it. When it comes to 80's films, I have a special love for them. They symbolize my high school years and make me remember the best times of my life. The Lost boys was one of my all time favorites. At least one of the most watched anyway. The Corey's were hot in that decade and were never really better than in Lost Boy's. Not only was it a funny horror movie, it had a very cool soundtrack and great vibe to it. Though it is outdated now, it still holds up well for pure entertainment value.
That being said, this title has never looked better. It is the best looking tranfer you can get. First off, the film looks very clean. The artifacts and grain have been removed. Giving it a very fresh and clean look. It looks better than many Blu's that are 10+ years newer. The colors ... Read More
Rating: - Burn Rubber Does Not Mean Warp Speed!
I remember winning free tickets to this movie when I was a teenager. It rocked then and still rocks now. It was slick, ultra cool, and dark just like any good vampire movie should be. While this may not be a "classic" film, it's definitely a cult classic. And let's not forget the soundtrack which I still play to this day. And as for the recent sequel (Lost Boys, The Tribe), all I can I say is "Cry Little Sister."
Rating: - A Satisfying Horror-Fantasy Flick (Rating: 3.5 of 5)
Far from being a perfect film, or even great for that matter, it is none the less a movie that will live on. As with anything, time can be very revealing. But things that seem pretentious and awkward now, were felt wholly different circa '87. But that happens with any film as it dates, and that is not the reason why I give it a 3.5 rather than a 4 or 4.5 (on to that later).
Whatever its faults, this film has a lot going for it, including a stellar cast. This film, as you should know, set off the careers of many talented people. As good a director Joel is, there was certainly potential to screw this one up bad, had Jason Patric or even Kiefer Sutherland been miscast (or not cast).
More on the positive, is the sheer atmosphere of this film. We CAN certainly thank Joel for his awesome direction there. Because, really, anything is tolerable with great visuals and tonality. Also, typically, it ... Read More
