#3 - The Lost Boys (1987) Review




The Lost Boys (1987), Joel Schumacher
3/5

This 80s take on Vampires is full of cheese and grunge. The film spends a lot of time on development early on, for a rather simplistic story. The effects are dated and hilarious. Performances are good, and the cinematography is quite good. Great soundtrack, a lot of fun and interesting development on the vampire mythology. The has big name stars including Dianne Wiest, Edward Hurrmann, Kiefer Sutherland and 80s child star Corey Feldman (The Goonies, Gremlins). This film is everything that is bad and also good about the 80s, the cheesiness, the over the top jokes and gratuity.
