Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
GL84 After moving to a new town, a young man gets involved with the leader of a rebellious vampire clan after his sister gets turned into one forcing him to enlist a legendary vampire hunter to track them down and return her safely.This one was pretty decent though it did have some problems. One of the film's greatest parts here is the first half's rather fun telling of her transformation which is where it does have some good stuff in the gradual realization that they're dealing with vampires. The fact that this utilizes vampire lore fairly well in doing so, from the sudden super-strength and demonic voices to the initial feasting attempt that gets interrupted and showcases the traits of her growing condition using the mirror and crosses to fine effect here. While integrated nicely with the first encounter with the entertainer from the party where she gets accidentally impaled on the statue and explodes which really settles into the idea further of what's going on that he's stumbled upon a vampire clan, and after meeting the hunter fills him in on how it's built that really sets into motion what's going on. The build-up here from this into the second half here of how he tries to win over the group with some fine action scenes here, from the rather thrilling chase throughout town as they flaunt themselves around for the officers charging after them, a great group swarming scene at a night-time surfing session with some fine brawling here with the fight against the other vampires before setting up some fantastic set-pieces in the finale where he stalks the group down in their hideout where there's some great battling against the rest of the clan as well as the big final battle around the two which is really fun, and includes the great setting which is a dank, dark crypt which allows for some nice atmosphere. With the fantastic make-up and gore here helping this one to become slightly decent, there's enough to like here to hold this one up over its few flaws. The biggest is that it consisted far too much on a series of clichés which aren't the least bit interesting, from the lifestyle of the gang being into extreme sports or the laid-back surfer vibe which isn't exciting nor really makes the main villain someone that really should be fallen for. The different manners of behavior which indicate that are so lame and haphazardly written here that he comes off as a really pathetic villain, especially all the talk about the lead vampire being such a threat but turns out to be yet another pansy vampire looking for a bride like in so many of these kinds of films. The other problem comes from the rather weak plan for infiltrating the group, which doesn't make much sense. Not only does that require the fact that they're incapable of realizing the change has taken place when they did it to him in the first place, but also knowingly sends the guy into a coven full of vicious vampires that have already taken an interest in him from the previous party antics and simply accepting him in anyway just because his sister's involved with them, a plan that make this one seem quite lame at times. Still, this one is a lot of fun.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, Full Nudity, some sexual content and drug use.
T.J. Robert Tharp Lost Boys 2: The Tribe is a fun movie to watch when you have some time to kill (pun intended). As mentioned in the title here Shane Powers is a great villain (every bit as charismatic as any bad guy in Lost Boys. Corey Feldman is also good in this turn as Edgar Frog (tho his part is a smaller one). I will agree that I did not find the other lead characters as interesting (Chris Emerson), but Nicole scored the best dialogue w/ the "vegetarian" line. Yes, the climax left me wanting more, but I enjoyed the movie from start to finish. If only they did a better job of explaining Shane's background and some other topics. Oh well. I think The Tribe gets a bad rap. Still pretty good in my opinion. One thumb up (not 2 tho).
bousozoku I'd like to say something really wonderful about this film, but I don't want to lie.If you really liked the original Lost Boys film, you may like this. If you enjoy pain and suffering, you may really enjoy this movie.The only memorable scene is at the end where the aunt/landlady is ready to throw the pair out.The rest of it is male bravado, yelling, attempted intimacy, partying, and all the things that are supposed to get you to believe that this is more than a hurried shuffle of a script with some new elements added.It could be worse, and that's the one good thing I can say about this film.
kaylacade this movie was an okay vampire movie. the acting was good for most main characters and the plot was exiting, suspenseful, funny and most of all erotic. and no I'm not just giving it a good review because I'm a huge fan of Tad Hilgenbrink. this movie was good give it a try! you'll like it! not only was the acting good but special effects also!if your a fan of the lost boys then you'll love this movie! Edgar frog is back in business! now if you want to watch a bad lost boys movie that would be the thirst! I'm a huge fan of the lost boys and that movie was horrible it was an insult the the series. so yeah, this one is really good, in my opinion, i think if you've heard some bad reviews you should still give it a shot!
