I just watched this movie for the first time on sunday and I fell in love with it. I don't think I would've given this movie any notice if it didn't have Kiefer Sutherland rocking a mullet that would make Brett Michaels jealous. The movie is about two brothers (Jason Patric and Corey Haim) who move to a new town. They soon believe that the town is inhabited by vampires. Typical stuff that happens when you move to a new town.
The vampire gang is led by none other than Jack Bauer himself. He was awesome, but his mullet was cooler than his personality. The other members in the gang were also cool even if their characters were underdeveloped. Another scene stealing character was Corey Feldman as one of the two Frog Brothers. The Frog Brothers are two guys that are the resident vampire killers. They were hysterical and had so many great lines. Jason Patric and Corey Haim were great as brothers. They were believable and funny. This film might be considered a horror movie or a comedy. It is a scary movie with more humor than horror. When watching this you will be unsure whether to laugh or be scared. It's an uneven mix of laughs and scares with mostly laughs. It's hard to believe that the man responsible for Batman and Robin directed this film! Way to go Joel Schumacher!
Final Report: The Lost Boys is fast-paced, funny, scary, and a quintessential 80's movie.
