The Lost Boys

A classic of the vampire genre and staple of 1980’s pop culture, it definitely has to be at least mentioned when discussing the greatest vampire films of all time. Incredible cast, well balanced, super creepy and just campy enough to tie it all together.

Real movie making! Amazing casting and great acting! Amazing soundtrack! They do not make them like this anymore!

The Lost Boys continues to be hailed as a cult classic, albeit not the best of movies, it certainly is an interesting one. Schumacher creates a subtle atmosphere with the audience questioning the strange occurrences in the town and survival of the family targeted by it.

The Lost Boys is an absolute classic that I can't get enough of. An MTV-era popcorn flick that still delivers every time. With its killer soundtrack, stylish vampire aesthetic, and endlessly quotable lines, it's the perfect blend of horror, humor, and '80s cool. This cult favorite never gets old, and watching it feels like hanging out with one of the coolest undead gangs in cinema.

Greatest vampire movie ever.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

One of the best vampire movies ever made, if not the best!

The Lost Boys (1987) If you don't like vampire movies you'll like this one, could save your life! Director: Joel Schumacher Cast: Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Dianne Wiest, Barnard Hughes, Edward Herrmann, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Jamison Newlander, Brooke McCarter, Billy Wirth, Alex Winter and Chance Michael Corbitt. Plot: When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla, it does not take long for the brothers to realize that something out of the ordinary is happening in the town. The Lost Boys is a nostalgia base thrill ride that doesn't stop, with the best soundtrack from any 1980s movie. When someone ask me what your favourite scary movie? More often then not I'll have four movies and one of those four is The lost Boys. Now you might think what's so great about it, while that's what I'll be talking about today. First of all the storytelling, the plot is simple but effective with every scene flowing perfectly with the next, keeping the plot moving without any unnecessary filler scenes. With one of the best third acts of all time, with it's blend of action, horror and comedy on full display at the end. The Lost Boys has some of the most interesting characters in cinema history with each of them having a moment to shine, the only slight issue I have is the scrip really gives more to the side characters then to the main character Michael, who comes across boring to the rest, not taking anything away from Jason Patric performances who does do a good job, however I've always found Michael to be a bit underwhelming. The Lost Boys has the best cast assembled in the 1980's from great rising stars at the time like Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, to the more senior cast members in Dianne Wiest, Barnard Hughes (WHO BY THE WAY STEALS EVERY MINTUE HE'S ON SCREEN AS GRANPA) and Edward Hermann. The cast to me is what truly makes The Lost Boys an all time great movie. From a movie making point of view The Lost Boys is perfect, Joel Schumacher is at his best with the sound effects, lightening and set designs all being top notch. The make up design on the vampire's are simple but effective, really giving each vampire they're own different look. However the best thing about The Lost Boys is its wonderful scrip, having some of the most memorable and best lines in horror movie history, Introducing new rules to the vampire law (even some modern day vampire movies use these rules) and finally with its excellent blend of comedy and horror really putting the two together perfectly. After all that being said The Lost Boys is truly a classic and I would encourage anyone to watch it. The Lost Boys is a must see. You can stream it on Amazon prime video. RATING: 8.8/10.

My favourite movie ever. They sure don’t make them like this anymore. 80’s vibes and classic movie with nostalgic feelings. It works so well. Great soundtrack and great 80’s cast. Prime location. Humour and horror work so well. Joel Schumacher’s best. This movie works so well because it’s so much fun. Enjoy.

One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach: all the damn vampires.
