Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
A horrifically dreadful vampire teensploitation entry.

rotten:
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.

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.

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

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