Summary: Sort of a sequel
Comment: I would have preferred more of a sequel personally. The only thing that really made it a sequel was Cory Feldman's character (Edgar Frog). Other than that it was kinda a remake. The acting was great and the script was solid save the nostalgic tag lines from the 80s movie. I wish the they didn't do that and simply built upon Cory's character. Also it would have been nice to mention the other characters from the first movie. If Edgar got a package from Mike in the mail or something, it would have been nice. All in all it seemed like a remake of the old movie and that's what annoys me the most. I feel really bad for all the actors, set designers, sound people etc. that obviously worked really hard. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link and in this case it was the writer. The five stars goes to everyone else.

Summary: For a really good time see the original Lost Boys again!
Comment: Trust me.
If you are jonesin for some teen vampire thrills you will get a real kick watching the original Lost Boys... even if you have seen it before! The original is good enough to enjoy more than once. As for the "tribe" sequel don't allow it to ruin your vampire fun. It's a stinker. The Lost Boys (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Summary: Even worse than I expected
Comment: I really like the first movie, though I recognize that it is a case of nostalgia because I was about 19 or so when it came out.
After looking at the plot summary, I didn't have much hope for a good film, but I thought that I would give it a chance. I made a mistake. The acting was mediocre in the best parts and non-existant in others. The real disappointment was the writing. This was the most boring and predictable horror movie that I've ever seen.

Summary: A weak sequel lacking the magic of the original
Comment: 1987's Lost Boys was an original and well-cast vampire flick that became a cult classic and deservedly so - not only did it have humor and horror, but also a cast that could actually act.
Lost Boys: The Tribe falls far short of its predecessor - the storyline seems promising but the execution fails in delivering the thrills. Basically, the story is about a pair of siblings, brother and sister Chris and Nicole Emerson played by Tad Hilgenbrink and Autumn Reeser who are new in the town of Luna Bay. The brother is a former surfing star who has lost his zest for surfing and is overly protective of his kid sister after the tragic death of their parents. He meets a former surfing legend Shane [Angus Sutherland, yes, related to Kiefer] and they attend a party where it turns out Shane is the head vampire of a tribe of vampires, and turns Nicole into a fledgling vampire. In order to save his sister, Chris enlists the help of Edgar Frog [Corey Feldman], surfboard shaper/vampire hunter/ minister.
I actually thought the premise though lacking originality [remember Fright Night?] was not too bad. The dialogue though was a major letdown as was the casting. All of the actors seemed like cardboard cut-outs with one-dimensional acting. There was no character development whatsoever - we never find out what drives the original tribe of vampires led by Shane, other than that they are simply thrill-seekers with a bloodlust. The head vampire as portrayed by Angus Sutherland is lacklustre in his performance - the viewer is never convinced as to his real motives - is he purely evil or???
The production values were actually not too bad - this didn't seem like a low budget movie and some of the shots of the sea and town were really beautiful. As for the make-up, the vampires looked like the ones from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" series.
All in all, I felt that the movie could have been much better, especially considering that it took them years to make a sequel to Lost Boys. The acting and screenplay were such a letdown and made the movie just an average B-grade horror movie. Final verdict: rent it if you must. Some vampire movies worth checking out: The Hunger[1983], Innocent Blood [1992],and Near Dark [1987].
Customer Rating:
Summary: Craptacular
Comment: I am a big fan of the first movie so I had high hope for this movie. Boy was I wrong. All the actors are terrible and the story is boring. Avoid at all costs, do not make the mistake I did buying this Blu Ray.
