People ask me what the hell has happened to vampires these days, I respond "Vampires died when Twilight was born" and you know what, the sad thing is that it's true. Vampires use to be one of the best horror villains ever created by the wonderful Bram Stoker with "Dracula" but once Twilight came out they all died. That's why I love The Lost Boys it's seriously the best vampire movie ever made. Once Lucy (Dianne Wiest) gets divorced she decides she needs some financial help along with raising her two sons Micheal (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) and they move to a small coast town in California to live with their grandfather, Lucy's dad. Micheal and Sam take a tour around the local amusement park which is where Micheal meets Star (Jami Gertz) and learns about rumors of mysterious deaths caused by vampires and he shrugs it off cause why would you believe rumors about vampires from someone you just met? You have no idea who this person is and you don't know if they could be off their rocker, they have to be if they believe in vampires.
Later on Star introduces Micheal to David (Kiefer Sutherland) the leader of the vampire gang and turns him into a vampire. You start to wonder where Sam is during all this time, well he's just minding his own business until he starts to realize that something is not right with his brother. He sleeps ALL day and he's only awake during the night and when he's actually awake during the day he wears sunglasses. Sam befriends two kids Alan Frog (Jamison Newlander) and Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) who work at the local comic book store who claim to be vampire hunters riiiiight, that's like me claiming to be a zombie hunter but I wouldn't be a hunter I'd be part of the zombie army. They ban together to fight off the gang of vampires to get to the vampire leader to save his brother. They all know once they kill the leader then Micheal is saved but the only problem with that is they have no idea who the leader is. They think it's David but come to find out it's not so they have to go through out the movie trying to find who it is. 
This movie was awesome and did the vampire clan justice and I loved every minute of it. It was funny, it was gorey, it had a twist at the end of the movie and each scene kept up with the last one. One of the things I hate about movies is they can't keep the movie flowing evenly, the scenes wont match the last one and you end up being confused and not liking the movie cause it's not entertaining when you have to think really hard about the movie since they didn't make it easy for you to follow it. The Lost Boys was very good it even made a sequel, almost 10 years later with a whole new cast lol. The funny thing is in the sequel The Lost Boys: The Tribe the villain in that movie is Angus Sutherland who is the younger half brother of Kiefer Sutherland who played the villain in the 1987 Lost Boys. Small world huh?!I give this movie 5 out of 5 Skulls.
