- Part horror, part comedy, THE LOST BOYS is a vampire thriller that brings some interesting twists to the genre, but is nearly defeated by director Joel Schumacher's heavy-handed efforts to bring an MTV-like sensibility to the traditionally gothic material. Despite its flaws, however, the film is an interesting addition to vampire cinema.

ALEX WINTER: I think it's the most successful interpretation of all the things [director Joel Schumacher] did well, which was fashion and music and understanding actors and story and style and — I'm just gonna call a spade a spade — homoeroticism and sexual ambiguity and sexual adventurousness. So few people really had a forward vision. And Joel co...
WINTER: I do think that, for sure, our characters had that kind of undercurrent. I don't think it required, you know, sitting around a table read discussing it. I had spent my previous five years doing two long-running Broadway shows back to back — during the beginning of the AIDS crisis and at the height of the disco era. I started going to discos...
WINTER: Ah, man. I'll get in so much trouble with literally everybody else involved in the film. I mean, look, it was the mid '80s. I was 19. I was getting up at eight at night and going to bed at seven, eight in the morning every day in Santa Cruz. It was insanity. It was really fun. We were on bikes all the time. We were treated like rock stars. ...
WINTER: There were a lot of happy accidents on Lost Boys and one of them was the decision that [makeup artist] Greg Cannom and Joel made to go really light on the vampire makeup. I think it came from practicality, to be able to get prosthetics on and off very quickly. The original vampire designs for Lost Boyswere very elaborate, so that decision t...
My personal favorite is 30 Days of Night. That being said, The Lost Boys is definitely one of those movies I wish I could have been alive as a teenager in the 80s for. It is just so much fun, kick ass soundtrack, and beyond charming. It checks off all the 80s quirk boxes.
The Lost Boys is one of the movies that I think epitomizes the 1980's. It has a genuine 80's look and feel, as well as an awesome soundtrack and some fantastic performances by 80's legends like Corey Feldman. This movie really draws you into it and makes you feel like you're right there in Santa Carla.
Scary '80s vampire film mixes gore with campy humor. Read Common Sense Media's The Lost Boys review, age rating, and parents guide.
The Lost boys is a fantastic film with great acting, some brilliant black comedy and a banging 80's soundtrack. It has real Spielberg-esque feel about it as a group of teenagers take on a group of vampires in their seaside town.
