The movie "The Lost Boys" was like an 80's vampire movie. The movie was set in Santa Carla California which is like a melting pot of people. The story revolves around two brothers, Michael who was 17 and his brother Sam somewhere in the mid-teens. Meanwhile there is a group of teens that cause trouble for people in Santa Carla and there is missing posters all around town.
The weird stuff starts to go on when Michael the older brother is at a concert at the beach. Michael sees a girl that catches his attention. He follows her around for a bit and never actually talks to her. Sam goes into a comic book store where he is talked to by two boys who tell him to read a vampire comic book.
The next day Michael is told he has to stay at home and watch his brother because his mother is going out. When his mother leaves Michael sneaks around his mom and leaves to go find the girl from before. While he is out Sam is reading the comic book on vampires. Michael finally meets the girl where she tells him her name:Star-He is going to go for a bite to eat with her but some dudes on bikes show up and Star's boyfriend makes her get on his bike.
Michael doesn't like this so he decides to follow them. When he follows them they go futher and further away from the city into the deep woods. They lead him to the edge of a cliff where he almost falls off and then take him to their hangout. While he is with them they offer him food where Michael is having some scary visions.
One is imagining that the rice is maggots and the other thinking the noodles were worms. Star yells out to leave em alone which adds to the decision. From there the Star boyfriend as David. David starts to drink out of a wine bottle. He offers Michael a drink and even though Star tells him not to he drinks from it.
Michael arrives home where he begins to stalk the sound of his brother in the bathtub. While Sam is bathing, the dog hears Michael coming and the dog attacks him. Sam starts to suspect his brother and makes him stay away from him all night. Michael falls asleep and wakes up to realize he is floating off the ground. His brother Sam finally decides to help Michael from floating away.
Michael goes down to hang out with David again to find the answers to what he has become and after playing a few mind games with him. David and his gang show michael what they really are. Michael is horrified as the vampires swoop down on some unsuspecting people. During the attack Michael lies on the ground trying to fight his own urge to attack for blood.
In the meantime Sam has reason to beieve that his mom's boyfriend Max is a vampire after reading about the Hounds of Hell part of his comic book. His mother almost gets attacked by the guy's dog. Sam calls his comic book friends to his mom's date with the guy.
At the dinner Sam,Edgar and Alan keep trying vampire test on Max. All it really does is annoy him and he wonders why they would do something like that. Curious part is when he is very curious about what the boys thought he was.
Michael goes to see Star and they wind up getting together per say where Michael leaves before David and his gang show up. Later on Michael comes up with a plan to get Star away from there. The comic book dude, Michael and Sam take off in their Grandpa's car to the vampire hangout.
Michael goes to find Star and realizes she has children with her. So Michael and the guys start to find their way out of the hangout without being seen.
While they are sneaking in Alan and Edgar are loaded with stakes and anti vampire weapondry. One of them sees a chance at killing a vampire and stabs the first one they see. The vampire doesn't go out easily because he makes a loud screaming that pretty much alerts the gang.
David is the one to catch on the quickest and almost snatches Sam buy lucky for Sam the vampire is burned in the sunlight where he retreats back into the hole. This is pretty much the part where everyhting climaxes.
So knowing that David will be wanting to kill Michael noow. Sam, Alan, Edgar, Star and Michael start prepping for the night attack. Bath full of Garlic water, stakes in hand, basically everything that the comic book nerds can think of.
Night comes and the boys are forced to fight off the vampires as they start to come in. One gets blown up with a boombox. Sam has his glory moment when he gets to stake one. A pretty cool part is when Alan and Edgar are pretty much cowering as one of the vampires is about to kill em. The guy laughs at the Garlic tub but when Sam's dog knocks him into the water he realizes it's holy water.
The mess of that death is just brutal as everything starts pumping blood everywhere. Meanwhile Michael is trying to get David to come out. After a few sneak attacks they both become locke to each other where David tries to put Michael on a stake. Ironically, David gets killed instead and Michael is still a vampire.
Although everything seems fine, Sam realizes that it had to have been Max the whole time. Max has his glory as he pretty much knocks everone away from him. The he restrains Sam and their mom is forced to go with Max to save him. Through the wall comes a car that pretty much propels Max into one giant stake.
Overrall this movie is like a 10 of 10 for me because of the eighties style and the brutality the vampires show off. Kind of shows a young and dangerous aspect to the movie.
