Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Synopsis
One of the better vampire films about two new-in-town brothers who discover a local gang of motorcycle youths are more undead than alive. Younger brother Sam works hard to eradicate the ghoulies but his older brother falls in love with the bunch's lone female - and is gradually becoming a vampire himself. An interesting candy-coasted meditation on teen conformity with a great rock soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars An 80`s Classic, 28 Aug 2006
I remember seeing this at the cinema all those years ago. I didn`t have a clue what it was about but had been dragged along for a Saturday night out by my mates. I remember asking "So what`s this film about then" "well" came the reply "it`s about Vampires....." Before i could argue the queue had moved forward & i found myself inside the ticket office & on into the cinema....2 hrs later i came out with a big grin on my face & me & my mates rolling round the floor laughing at "The Frog Brothers" & i`ve been a fan ever since. This film is typical of the times it comes from. It`s full of great music espiecially the "Cry Little Sister" theme song, It`s choca Bloc full of stunts & action, It`s got a great sense of style including some great fashions, Alex Winters Jacket looks so cool it`s unbelievable even today. The acting is 1st class, & there`s a great sense of humour running through it. It has that "Positive" 80`s vibe running through it were we all believed anything was possible & the good guys always won. It`s a great film & well worth the purchase price just for the film alone but this is a special 2 disc set which makes it doubly worth getting. There is a selection of short`sh documentaries on disc 2 containing interviews with many of the cast including Kiefer Sutherland on the set of 24. I`d have prefered the documentaries to have been longer but hey there good so at least it`s interesting. If your a fan or you`ve heard lots about this film then this is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the 80's classic teen movies...., 3 Oct 2005
By A Customer
They say that nostalgia is a feeling more potent than the moment itself.....

Well with "The Lost Boys" as nostalgic as you old skool 80's kids will feel on looking back at it, you certainly won't be disappointed. I honestly feel that this film could be released today and it would have the same impact on the kids of today as it did all those years ago. A true Joel Schumacher gem from 1987 and for me it just sums up the 80's teen film classic genre and how they really have lost the plot with teen films of today. The cast is superb, the script is even better, the music is out of this world good and the movie not in the slightest bit dated.

If you are only going to buy one dvd today, then make it "The Lost Boys"

You wont feel short changed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Death by stereo!, 1 May 2004
By L. Newman "l_m_n" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Lost Boys [DVD] [1987] (DVD)
This is the ultimate in cheesy Eighties movies (I mean this as a good thing!)

What more could you want? Kiefer looking gorgeous as the leader of a teen vampire clan, the Coreys in their prime, and a great soundtrack, it's an excellent combination, plus you get Alex Winter in his pre-Bill and Ted days!

I really love this movie, it's another of my top five, I can't recommend it enough - buy it!
