Before you read this please be advised that Spoilers are most definitely present so read no further if you'd like to keep anything a surprise.
How can any of you give this movie anything but a one star rating? It's TERRIBLE. I'm a huge fan of the Lost Boys. I grew up with the movie and it reigns as one of my favorite films of all time. This existence of this film though puts a small blemish on the story and if Corey weren't a part of it I'd be able to write it off completely. Unfortunately his presence, and the horrible cameo by Mr. Haim, actually ties this movie DIRECTLY to my beloved original and that, so far as I'm concern, is a shame.
Problem number one. Apparently Shane was a surfer once too, you know, because Chris had is posters on the wall right? So Chris idolized this guy and then he just suddenly disappears. Well that would suggest he was human once right? Sooooooo...that means Shane was changed over and would NOT be the head Vampire, much like how David was changed and he was NOT the head vampire in the original. Therefore killing Shane would do nothing because according to this movie's lore you'd have to kill the one that changed Shane and hope that he/she was the actual HEAD vampire.
Problem number two. The vampires have NO charisma. NONE. They're annoying, they're shallow, they're simply not fun. And the whole bit about them running around slicing each other up and having a grand old time taking advantage of their immortality...it's all done quite poorly and serves as an irrelevant addition to the plot. Apparently having no fear means it's fun to run around and gut each other. I saw them as complete imbeciles.
Problem three. What the hell was up with the police chase? Is that Chris's initiation? "hey come with us we'll knock on the police headquarters and do some donuts in the parking lot." LAME.
Problem four. The movie exists. It's really too bad that both Corey's have sunken so low as to be a part of this crap. It doesn't take a genius to put together a plot that would actually work in this situation but instead what we have here is a wannabe surfer/skate video about annoying young teenage vampires who can't act. The only salvation in this film is just how well Corey reprises his role as Edgar but outside of his scenes, the movie is pure junk.
