Autumn Reeser, Corey Feldman, Corey Haim

The sequel to the 1987 cult hit The Lost Boys takes us to the shady surf city of Luna Bay, California, where vampires quickly dispatch anyone who crosses their path. Into this dark world arrive Chris ...( read more  read more... )Emerson (Hilgenbrink) and his younger sister, Nicole (Reeser). Having just lost their parents in a car accident, the siblings move in with their eccentric Aunt Jillian and become new prey for the locals way of life. When Nicole unwittingly falls for a local vampire, Chris must locate and destroy the gangs lifeline before his sisters transformation is complete; to do this Chris finds himself relying on the expertise of none other than Edgar Frog (Feldman). Subtle references to characters from the original film, and cameos from returning actors offer homage to the Lost Boys legend and set a sinister tone of impending doom.

    Bad, bad, bad. This movie's biggest fault was that Joel Schumacher was not directing. This "Tribe" of vampires did not have the cool factor which Kiefer and his gang oozed in the original. It's an almost impossible task to recapture the magic of the 80's 20 years later; the fads ...( read more)and fashions have changed drastically. The original had such a great soundtrack; but this one was forgettable noise. Corey Feldman did an awesome reprisal of his Frog brother character. The lack of Corey Haim didn't help; he only appeared for a few seconds at the end; which doesn't count. I chose not to buy this on DVD. "The Lost Girls" would've been such a better movie idea.

    This is a film I had to see, I mean, 'Lost Boys' is a classic! And the fact that a sequel has been made! Well, like I said, I had to see it.

    To follow up a film like 'lost boys' it's gonna have to be something special. When I first heard about it I thought 'It'll be just some B ...( read more)movie fan film', but then I found out both Corey Feldman and Corey Haim are in it, plus the other actor that played the other Frog brother (can't remember his name) in the original film. On that basis I believed this could do justice as a sequel to the cult classic.

    How wrong could I be! First up, Corey Haim and 'the other Frog brother' are both credited at the end of the film, but I don't recall seeing either of them in the film, in fact Edgar Frog (Feldman) mentions that his brother has died! And second, they tried to capture the humour of the original film and simply failed.

    This film is more of a homage then a sequel, it follows the original story with only minor adjustments, eg. this time it's a brother and sister rather then 2 brothers, and this time it's the girl that gets seduced rather than the fella.

    Another point - you would have thought that after 20 years since the first film the effects would be spectacular, but they're not, they could've been lifted from the original, which shows they're budget must have been tight.

    Overall this film is very average, should've been a lot better, but then I've seen worse.

    I like True Blood, so am watching more Vampire movies. I have not seen Lost Boys 1 though. This movie was too type-cast for me. Vampires are after the hero and his sister, and he has to do the wooden stake thing to save her and himself. Big deal.

    Not as good as the original of course but not too bad. Basically its the same kind of setup (as usual) the 'tribe' arent too cool really, just adrenaline junkies who surf and ride motorbikes too fast, a kind of rip of from 'Point Break' really. The original vamp tribe had that 80...( read more)'s cool to em that you just cant beat hehe the rest of the cast is pretty good though Kiefer's brother is the new head vamp (actually looking really good and goth with his blonde locks) Hilgenbrink of American Pie (Stiffler's bro) fame is actually good and fits the role with his sister (Reeser) being sweet, cute and not annoying atall.
    Feldman is back but is clearly the weakest link in the story and cast, his acting is shockingly hammy and what is up with his pathetic voice put on?? lol sounds ridiculous.
    The effects are quite bloody in places and do look cool I gotta admit, some nice deaths and a good intro with a cameo from Savini :)
    lastly, dont miss the wicked cameo by Corey Haim facing off against Feldman at the end, nice touch.

    You wait 21 years for a sequel to a cult classic and this is all we get? It's very poor saved at times only by Corey Feldman returning in his original role and not looking much older, maybe he is a vampire to? It's a bit like a not so good take on of Buffy, just with more gore an...( read more)d nudity, essential for straight to DVD horrors. Some parts were ok but the overall film just makes you think what a missed opportunity. Watch once if you curious.

    Bitterly disappointing. I think it's appalling that they could associate themselves with the original Lost Boys film which was an absolute classic. This, on the other hand, is far from great.

    First of all, the story was tedious. It didn't particularly make sense and a lo...( read more)t of it seemed so repetitive from other films of this genre.

    The acting wasn't much better. There were plenty of lame actors who were merely paddling a look. The best thing about this film was the presence of Corey Feldman. At least his role followed on from the first. Saying that though, I'm not sure why Alan Frog didn't feature in this film. Edgar referred to losing a sibling a couple of times, but this wasn't true in the first.

    Another random moment was the cameo of Corey Haim. I'm not sure what this was supposed to mean as it seemed to go against the role of Sam in the first film. Besides, if he somehow was supposed to be a vampire then why didn't he return to normal after the slaying of the head vampire like Chris and Nicole?

    Speaking of deterring from the original film, I have to say the casting of Angus Sutherland was a very poorly thought out decision. He was merely trading on the fact that he carried the same surname as Kiefer (who was perfect in his role as David in the original). Whereas Kiefer was dark, sexy and had an ability to draw you to his character, Angus severely failed to achieve any of these. He wasn't mysterious, sexy or appealing in any way. Whereas Kiefer attracted you to his way of life, Angus simply made me yawn. Also, his hair was terrible. Again, Kiefer's hair = gorgeous; Angus' hair = horrible.

    Was very disappointed that Corey haim only had a 30second piece in this film! That was the most exciting bit of the film after the credits had rolled and corey feldman was sat on a picnic table talking to sam (corey haim)

    Ive heard theres going to be a 3rd carrying on for the 2nd one with corey haim in most of it!!

    I think it didnt really explain the story very well...I dont recall hearing how Nicole & Chris were related TO Sam (corey haim)..(THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME LAST NAME) i thought maybe they where michaels kids (jason patric from 1st lost boys)

    Also they had to kill head vampire which they said was Shane so the sister and brother would go back to normal yet the end shows thats Corey haim is a vampire so does that means hes the head and the the brother & sis are stil half vampires??

    Just thought it was bit crap really....
