The Lost Boys, as cheesy as it sounds, is seriously one of my favorite movies, without a doubt my favorite vampire film, it's sexy, stylish, and really stands out against a lot of other vampire movies. Now it's been a famous cult classic for 21 years, people are still discovering it to this day, now there had been rumors for so many years about a sequel, that it was going to be Lost Girls, David and his gang would return, that the Frog Brothers go to Washinton, D.C. The list goes on and on, finally after 21 long years, we have a new sequel for the cult classic, Lost Boys: The Tribe. I couldn't resist, I automatically bought it curious and thinking that it might be worth the watch, oh, dear, how I want my twenty dollars back. I was incredibly disappointed, and frankly disturbed with some of the character's behavior as well as a very lame story.
Chris and Nicole have moved to a new town with their aunt, after dealing with their parent's death, they're feeling down. Chris sees Shane, a once famous surfer who disappeared out of the spot light, he invites Chris to a party. Chris and Nicole go to the party, everything seems normal, until Nicole walks with Shane to his room and she drinks his blood out of a flask, she is now becoming a vampire. Chris seeks the help of our old friend, Edgar Frog, 150 pounds, about 5 foot 2, and still acts like Rambo times a thousand with the one liners. They try to help Nicole and destroy the surfing vampires before it's too late for her.
Lost Boys: The Tribe is seriously a major let down considering this movie could have been so much more. Sadly, Sam makes a 2 minute appearance that was a huge let down, as well as Allen doesn't even make the final cut, only in the alternate ending. I wish the director wasn't reading "How to make a film for dummies" while making this movie, because he didn't have an ounce of respect that the first Lost Boys had. It doesn't have the attitude or class to hold a candle up to the first film. This isn't the worst sequels I've seen, over all on it's own, it is kind of worth the look, but after Edgar's 100th one liner, it was turning into an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Fans of the first Lost Boys beware, I just had to learn the hard way... 20 dollars!!! I could've gotten groceries, I gave up a week's worth of food for this.
3/10
