The Lost Boys
Rent & Buy
When an unsuspecting town newcomer is drawn to local blood fiends, the Frog brothers and other unlikely heroes gear up to rescue him.
What critics thought
Joel Schumacher's teen vampire film earns solid but not universal approval — critics generally agree it looks great and holds attention, but divide sharply over whether there's anything beneath the surface. Audiences have always loved it more warmly than critics did.
“an ambitious entertainment that starts out well, but ends up selling its soul.”
Roger Ebert·Chicago Sun-Times
“a horrifically dreadful vampire teensploitation entry that daringly advances the theory that all those missing children pictured on garbage bags and milk cartons are actually the victims of bloodsucking bikers.”
Variety
“a caricature of a feisty old Grandpa.”
