Lost Boys: The Tribe (DVD)

I've never had a proper rant on this site but here goes. If you're a Lost Boys fan that hasn't seen this film you may have heard about how poor it is. Now lower you're expectations a notch lower - this film REALLY bites. *~Plot~* The plot follows the story of orphan brother and sister, Chris (Tad Hilgenbrink) and Nicole (Autumn Reeser) who move to the seaside town of Luna Bay. On their first day, Chris comes across fellow ex-surf star Shane Powers (Angus Sutherland) who invites them to a party that night. A few scenes later and you're introduced to one the many clichés of a crap film - the grand wild party. Y'know, the type of party you only ...  Read the complete review

Well I finally got around to watching this second installment from my Lost Boys Boxset and though this attempt at a sequel is not great and not a patch on the original, I do think it isn't a bad attempt to bring an eighties classic right up to the noughties!! Lost Boys;The Tribe sees a brother and sister arriving at a small coastal resort, where ex-professional surfers have come to rest, and taking up residence with a distant relative. Little do they realise that the increase in local disappearances in the town is due to an infestation of vampires who are slowly consuming the resort. Luckily Edgar Frog, board-shaper and part-time vampire hunter, (played by ...  Read the complete review

Having loved the first Lost Boys film I approached this sequel with a very pessimistic attitude. The Lost Boys is such a beloved classic of the vampire genre that any attempt at furthering the story was going to be a risky step but I thought the trailer looks ok, I'll give it a try. The first film involved two brothers who moved to a new town, overrun by teen vampires led by the fantastic and charismatic Kiefer Sutherland. The older brother Michael gets seduced into the vampire group and becomes half vampire and so with the aid of the hilarious comic book reading, vampire hunting Frog brothers they set about killing the head vampire and returning Michael to being ...  Read the complete review

To help mark the 21st anniversary of a horror classic, Lost Boys - The Tribe is a chance to revisit the feelings and emotions the original Lost Boys gave back in 1987. It's strange to write a review of a sequel to a movie that a large percentage of those reading this will either have not seen or not heard of The Lost Boys. For those who do remember the movie, you rather like me are probably a little bit surprised that it has taken 21 years for a follow on movie to appear. After the death of their parents Chris (Tad Hilgenbrink) and Nicole (Autumn Reeser) settle down in a small part of district of Malibu under the watchful eye of their crazy aunt. ...  Read the complete review

Now, most people will find this 'sequel' to The Lost Boys a complete joke, and i would really not blame them. This film majorly lets down the original, and is downright ridiculous at times. Plot- Chris (Tad Hilgenbrink) has just moved to Luna Bay to live with his sister, Nicole (Autumn Reeser) and is just settling in when he meets the charming Shane (Angus Sutherland) However, Shane and his pack of friends are actually a gang of vampires, and they have they're minds set on initiating both Chris and his sister, whom he is fiercely protective of, into the gang. Cue a fairly pathetic excuse for a movie.... Now, to me, the good thing about this ...  Read the complete review
