Lost Boys: The Tribe

Rented this movie on prime and absolutely loved it!

since i was pretty much a 80s kid this series is a must every year to watch for our house. My 20 yr old and i watch it over and over every year. Of course this is not as good as the original one but it is good. Most movies the first is always the best anyway. definitely a must watch.

I would have preferred more of a sequel personally. The only thing that really made it a sequel was Cory Feldman's character (Edgar Frog). Other than that it was kinda a remake. The acting was great and the script was solid save the nostalgic tag lines from the 80s movie. I wish the they didn't do that and simply built upon Cory's character. Also it would have been nice to mention the other characters from the first movie. If Edgar got a package from Mike in the mail or something, it would have been nice. All in all it seemed like a remake of the old movie and that's what annoys me the most. I feel really bad for all the actors, set designers, sound people etc. that obviously worked really hard. A chain is only as strong as the weakest link and in this case it was the writer. The five stars goes to everyone else.

First of all, i have always heard that this movie was really bad and that i should avoid it. But as a fan of Corey Feldman and Corey Haim i couldn't resist buy it on blu-ray.Well i watched it last night and...it was not as bad. The acting for the most part was really good and the movie was pretty ok. The worst acting, i think, was from Angus Sutherland. Perhaps his father Donald should teach him one or two things about acting :)But some things raised my mind every now and again. First, are Chris and Nicole Emerson the children of Mikael and Star (from the first movie?) we are never told. Second, in the mine scenes, a vampire tells Edgar Frog that his brother is here, but i didn't see him ??? confused.Well. If you liked the first movie don't have to high hopes for this one but you won't be dissapointed either. It has it's moments and it nice to see Corey Feldman back in business!

When I put this movie into my dvd player I was expecting to be dissapointed. Honestly I wasn't. This movie kept me intrested form the opening scene to the end credits. The dialouge and acting were not bad for a direct to dvd movie and were better than some recent theatre releases, and the special effects were fairly well done. Most of the characters were basically clones of the original movie. The biggest standout was obviously Feldmann whom I feel stole the movie. Honestly I like the Edgar Frog part more in this movie than I did in the original. I think the final showdown was a bit rushed and dosent comare with the original's. Also the 2nd alternate ending should have been this movies ending as it ties up some loose ends and its honestly pretty cool. Overall this isn't a bad movie for what it is. Just dont go in expecting to much and bring a sense of humour.

The only reason people hate this movie is because they feel that's how they can support the original. The fact is this movie is well done and a great ride! Very fun movie! I never seen it until last night. i watch my blurays of 1 (which I saw 10yrs ago) and this one back to back. I gotta tell ya I loved it! i was way more into it than even the first one! Yes Keifers brother is not as good an actor... but it really didn't seem to hurt the movie or point in any way. It was just very cool and fun! Hot chicks! Vampires! Motorcycles! Parties! I mean what kind of person wouldnt enjoy such fun? Anyway... don't take my word for it. Check it out yourself.

First of all, I'm whacking myself for not only buying this, but spending the extra bucks to get it on Blu-Ray, which my High Def TV proved to show Just How Bad this straight to DVD is. I've never even seen a standard DVD show up as fuzzy as this alleged Blu-Ray did.On to the DVD, though discussing the sheer vileness of the Blu-Ray quality is much more entertaining than reviewing this movie. I know it sounds like a bad pun, but it sucks. It sucks bad. It sucks big. It sucks beyond human or vampire belief. There was more of a plot in the occasional speculation about WHAT the plot of the movie would be than there actually was in the actual movie.For example, the orphaned Emerson siblings - how are they related to the original Emersons? First I heard they were supposed to be Michael and Star's children, then I heard they were some random cousins. Regardless, it is never, ever brought up in the movie. They might as well be, and apparently are, people who coincidentally have the same last name as the original name. Certainly Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) has absolutely no recognition or acknowledgement of them being in any way related to the Emerson's he knew, even in a surprise scene hidden in the credits and a deleted scene available in the extras which show him interacting with the late, unlamented Corey Haim reprising Sam Emerson.And, yes, I know that Haim isn't dead. I just can't help but notice in those two brief scenes not actually in the movie that there was all the plot you needed for a really interesting and decent movie. Judging from the massive bad press revolving around Haim, his 'issues', and his self-declared war with Feldman - well, knowing that most of his stuff in the film was not filmed and the bit that was filmed was tossed; I can only blame Haim for the massive mess leftover and the massive mess certainly is why the movie didn't make it to the theatres. In short, Haim's killed himself and his career for good this time, I'd say, and took down a bunch of other innocent people in the bargain.Moving along, the other massively unused potential plot-builder was the fact that the master vampire in this film is played by Keifer Sutherland's young half-brother. Angus Sutherland's resemblance is close enough to have actually made use of that connection - his character of Shane could very well have been the brother of Keifer's David. Unfortunately, like the Emerson connection was utterly ignored as a potential plot point, so was the use of the Sutherland brothers.There were a few blink and you missed it moments, such as the muscular, oily saxaphone player from the first movie now playing sax on the corner, in the daylight, still oiled, still pretty muscular, still long-haired, but with a beer gut like a Green Bay Packer fan. Tom Savini, one of the masters of horror prosthetics and special effects (who is oddly showing up in a lot of movies for the sake of being dismembered, if Planet Terror is any indication), is a master vampire taken down by Shane and his crew in the beginning of the film. When the Emerson's take a drive up to the Frog Brother's surfboard shaping shop, there is a sign that is briefly glimpsed which states essentially 'no one is invited in.' If you don't get that reference, sorry, I'm not explaining it.The only occasional glimpses of fun is when Edgar Frog is on the scene. He's mostly doing a re-run, but there are a few fun elements such as him becoming an ordained priest online so he can make his own holy water, which he does over many water balloons as part of his arsenal. He only occasionally references the absent Frog brother, but the full story is in the deleted scene.Every other attempt to make this a worthwhile sequel is full of downfalls. In the original you had the quirky grandfather who delivers the famous last line in the movie, "The one thing I always hated about Santa Clara is all the damned vampires." In this movie you have an aunt whose quirkyness manifests in barefisted greed (she's charging her orphaned nephew and niece $600 a month for a hut) and total cluelessness (having won the battle against the vampires, the Emerson siblings, covered in blood and gore and drinking beers despite at least one of them being underage, have their front door slammed in as their aunt rails about knowing exactly what's going on and it had better stop or she'll turn them in - yes, that's essentially the last line in the movie, her accusing them of being potheads and stating "zero tolerance!").The extras are pathetic, no commentary to explain why this is so horrible, the deleted scene which shows what kind of movie it COULD have been (ironically with Haim at one point telling Feldman that he needs to grow up and take a realistic view on things), and about half a dozen music videos that really aren't worth watching.Now I have to go email some friends and hopefully warn them against buying this abomination.

It’s a pretty goofy movie but has a good pace overall
