I just finished watching 80's vampire movie, The Lost Boys. A
few notes:
- it's much shorter than I remember -- only about 1 hour 30.
- it's much shallower than I remember, I think it's the cool title song that made me think more of it. Listening to the commentary, the shallowness is somewhat deliberate -- it's supposed to be a teen movie, remade from an original script for a kid's movie
- the movie looks great, very modern in technique but the clothes and music is totally -- epitomely, if that's word -- the 80's. The commentary said that Corey Feldman's clothes was supposed to be "mall fashion-victim", but that provides no excuses for the head vampire Edward Hermann who looks like he wanted to be on a Duran Duran album cover.
- first movie with The Two Cories
- Keifer Sutherland looks great; they say he has the least words of any of the major stars in the movie, but every word counts
- I have to say that Buffy the Vampire Slayer has totally set my expectations for vampire movies -- "hey, they're not following the rules". For example, inviting a vampire into your hour renders you powerless; but they don't need an invitation.
