THE LOST BOYS
 All Critics (69) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (52) | Rotten (17)
 The Lost Boys, in its artless way, asks us to consider that being for ever young isn’t a sweet Edwardian evocation of innocence, but a vision of pure hell, like vampirism.

 Schumacher falls far short of the talent for pop wit that Joe Dante showed in Gremlins and The Howling.

 The Lost Boys, which attempts to be funny while preserving the shock value of the vampire legend, aims somewhat higher… and misses.

 It’s often sloppy and thinly plotted, but this is, after all, a summer movie, and if it’s nothing to really sink your fangs into, it’s often very funny.

 There’s always room for fancy trash, and this movie — about a gang of punk vampires terrorizing the new kids in town — seems capable of providing some. Then the characters open their mouths.

 Schumacher`s sputtering, short-term approach to the material is a disappointment, because there’s something in it that ought to make for a good movie, and from time to time makes The Lost Boys good enough.

 The Lost Boys gives an injection of lifeblood into a tired genre that needed some resurrecting at the time. It’s an exhilarating ride, a madcap line of quips and thrills that make it a hard to forget, bloody cocktail.

 The Lost Boys redefined vampires for a generation, and while it nails the aesthetic, it’s still a bit slight in the character department.

 Boys is something of the nerdy dude version of Buffy the Vampire Slayer before there was Buffy.

 Slick, savvy and scary, “The Lost Boys” is a hip horror comedy with the full-throttle excitement of a rollercoaster ride and the pop culture fluency of a Stephen King best seller.

 It’s the more than correct direction of Schumacher that prints a good rhythm to the footage and shows he can be very imaginative at times. [Full Review in Spanish]

 It’s not a fully realized product, but it brings new ideas, which, despite its limitations, is commendable. [Full Review in Spanish]
