THE LOST BOYS (1986) review

Before he put a bullet into the Batman franchise, Joel Schumacher made THE LOST BOYS, and boy am I glad he did. Everyone in my generation loves it and rightfully so.
It’s well written, funny, stylistic, engaging and massively entertaining. It’s rock ‘n roll filmmaking with its creepy groove soundtrack, theatrical lighting, and gypsy wardrobe. I really love the family dynamics in the film, especially between the two brothers who banter with one another, but stick with each other no matter what (vampirism included).

I’ve lost count how many times I’ve watched the damned thing, all I know is still puts a smile on my face when I do.

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