The Lost Boys (1987)

Director: Joel Schumacher

Starring: Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Dianne Wiest

After moving to a new town, two brothers discover that the area is a haven for vampires.

‘The Lost Boys’ is not only one of my favorite 80s films, but also one of my favorite vampire films. It certainly is one of the best 80s horror films.

‘The Lost Boys’ is a very lighthearted film, yet also features disturbing images and brutal attack scenes. The film boasts excellent visual and make-up effects. The casting was also perfect. I still believe this to be one of Kiefer Sutherland’s most memorable roles. Jason Patric is also excellent in an early role in his career, as the film’s protagonist, Mike. Corey Haim and Corey Feldman team up once again as young heroes.

I absolutely love this film. There are some seriously creepy moments, good humor, nice action sequences, and has an amazing soundtrack. The film’s production design is also very good. This is a classic I’ll watch again and again.

‘The Lost Boys’ earned more than $32 million on an $8.5 million budget. It won awards for Best Horror Film and Best Best Young Actor, and received nominations for Best Supporting Actor, Best Costumes, Best Makeup.

Would I watch it again? Yes.
