‘Lost Boys’ Sequel Goes Straight to DVD, Hell
Remember the 80s? Boy I sure do. It sends a chill up my spine and makes my whole body cringe like an dry ice cube running down the back of my shirt every time I think of them.
Now one of the biggest and most overrated films of the 1980s is making its way to sequel territory with a straight-to-DVD release of “The Lost Boys: The Tribe,” according to MTV.
The film picks up 21 year after the events of the first film with Corey Feldman and Corey Haim returning to their infamous roles as the vampire hunters. They decided to star in the film because they enjoyed playing the roles the first time around, they thought the script lived up the original film and they haven’t had anything to eat since 1989.
I’ve never really got what was so great about the first “Lost Boys” film. It can’t be the vampires because I’ve seen much cooler horror movies about vampires. It can’t be the story because it’s ludicrous and stale. It can’t be the horror because it isn’t scary. Maybe the fact that so many people found this movie interesting is scary on its own. I know it always makes me wet my pants.

I really liked the first movie. Not because it was scary, which it wasn’t. But more because of the two geeks who figure anything out. And the brotherhood of Corey Feldman’s character and his in-movie brother.
But the idea of a sequel bothers me. They should have just left it where it was, not re-making some crappy sequel. I mean, most people won’t even know what it’s a sequel to.
