Not enough gore

Growing up, Lost Boys used to be a favorite movie of mine.

It was about vampires, had a bunch of blood in it, had the Haim-Feldman experience. It was a good film.

Enter Blade, Interview with the Vampire, and Embrace of the Vampire.

This movie slowly movie to the back of the pack, both in plotline and effects.

The thing about it was, this movie was well ahead of those other flicks, which gives it many accolades.

Had it the blood of the movies we have now, it would have ruled.

Likewise...

Michael and Sam enter a new city on a bay, Santa Carla, rumored to be crawling with vampires.

Michael, a young adult, goes to the amusement park and meets up with a motorbike gang, and chases them around on his bike. Michael is eventually let into the gang of vampires after drinking wine, which turns out to be blood.

Michael was played by Jason Patric, who is supposedly the grandson of Jackie Gleason. He starred in films such as Solarbabies, Geronimo, and Speed II.

His young brother, Sam, gets involved with a pair of boys who work in a comic shop. They are self-named Vampire Hunters.

Sam, is played by Corey Haim, star of over 33 movies and shows throughout his career, most namely a great role in a movie called Lucas.

The Vampire Hunters, Edgar and Allan Frog, a tribute to Poe, take up arms and attempt to save Sam's brother.

Edgar is played by Corey Feldman, since Haim cannot act without his boyfriend. Allan is played by little known actor, Jamison Newlander, who played in the Blob, I forget his name.

Meanwhile, Michael is kicking it with the vampires, trying to get with Star, who co-starred with him in Solarbabies.

Star was played by Jami Gertz, whose filmography was a bore, but as seen numerous times on Dream On, ER, and Ally McBeal.

The vampires consisted of David, Marko, Paul, and Dwayne. They looked like an 80's rock band, complete with tight leather pants and big big hair.

David was played by Keifer Sutherland, who is one of my favorite actors. His films include Stand by Me, Flatliners, and Young Guns, all of which are my favorite movies. He has starred in over 54 films since 1983, when he was just 17.

Marko, played by Alex Winter, famed for Bill and Ted, where he played opposite Keanu Reeves. Keanu went on to bigger and better movies, while Alex did Freaked. He gave up alot.

I don't know who in the heck the other two vampires are, sorry guys.

The Hunters sneak into the Batcave, and spear Marko, who explodes into a bunch of liquid, and dies.

One down, three to go.

The Hunters go back to Sam's grandpa's house to prepare for the night, and are attacked by the vampires, who at this time, doesn't include Michael.

They push one guy into a tub full of holy water and garlic, and he dies, exploding into a ton of blood. They shoot another guy with an arrow, which hits and eight-track player and kills him, which he plays a bunch of music.

That leaves David.

David and Michael having a battle in the main room, and eventually, after being speared by an antelope horn, David dies, in which his eye explodes into a huge tear, which rolls down his cheek.

Thinking David was the leader, Michael, Star, and the little guy thought they would change back to normal. Wrong!

Enter Sam and Michael mother, Lucy, played by Dianne Weist, and her boyfriend, Max, played by Edward Herrmann, who starred mostly in TV series.

Oh no! It turns out he is the main vampire, and he wanted Michael, Sam, and Lucy to be a family.

Aww, how could you kill a vampire who just wanted a family?

Then he starts talking smack, and then is threatening to kill Lucy, which he has in a headlock position.

All of a sudden, Grandpa drives up, and slams a huge spear into Max, and he blows up into a huge ball of fire.

This movie is a great film, but compared to modern day vampire films, it is lacking.

It is a very good testament to the vampire films culture.
