Let me begin by telling you that I love the The Lost Boys. I love everything about it from the acting, the storyline, the pounding rock soundtrack, the motorcycles. Everything! At its heart it is a vehicle for the group of actors known as the "Brat Pack" but is still very enjoyable nonetheless.
That's not to say the movie is without its faults of course but it is a very enjoyable teen horror film with the right amount of scares and twists.
We start the movie with a scuffle between two gangs on a carousel at a funfair. The security guard throws both groups out. Later as he walks to his car he is attacked by something unseen from the air and disappears. We then see Michael (Jason Patric), Sam (Corey Haim) and their mother (Dianne Wiest) travelling to Santa Carla to live with their grandfather (Barnard Hughes) after a messy divorce.
Not long after Sam meets up with the Frog brothers, Edgar (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jamison Newlander), who hand him a comic book about vampires and tell him to think of it as a survival manual.

Meanwhile Michael has encountered the beautiful Star (Jami Gertz) and the motorcycle group she hangs around with: David (Kiefer Sutherland), Marco (Alex Winter), Paul (Brooke McCarter) and Dwayne (Billy Wirth). After a bit of a duel David invites Michael to become one of them which Michael believes to mean a member of the group and despite Star's protests drinks from a wine bottle.
Slowly Michaels personality and demeanour change and he starts to stay in all day and go out all night. The boys mother meanwhile has got a job in a video store run by Max (Edward Hermann) who starts to woo her.
After Michael tries to attack Sam and is fought off by Sams dog Nanook, the boys hook up with Star and the Frog brothers to kill the head vampire, but the question is who is it? Is it David or someone else?
The final line belongs to Grandpa: "The worst thing about Living in Santa Clara is all the goddamn vampires!"
