Leave your thoughts about The Lost Boys.
| The A.V. ClubNathan RabinCorey Haim plus Corey Feldman plus Joel Schumacher doesn't seem like a foolproof formula for a good movie, but when the three oft-maligned figures united for 1987's horror-comedy The Lost Boys, the result was briskly entertaining. |
| Village VoiceDavid EdelsteinKilling bloodsuckers was enough to make Fright Night a hit, and it will probably do the same for the crass, obvious Lost Boys. |
| The New York TimesCaryn JamesThe Lost Boys is to horror movies what ''Late Night With David Letterman'' is to television; it laughs at the form it embraces, adds a rock-and-roll soundtrack and, if you share its serious-satiric attitude, manages to be very funny. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrAnother early youth ensemble pic from St. Elmo's Fire director Joel Schumacher, with an aspiring-to-hipness cast. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA horrifically dreadful vampire teensploitation entry. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyIt starts slow, but finishes fast with some clever plot twists. In the end, all is not lost with these boys. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonThat Schumacher handles the transitions between very light horror, comedy, teen romance, and action as well as he does is evidence of a sure hand found nowhere else in his filmography. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonAn exhilarating hybrid of horror and suburban comedy. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeOverdirected and junky, but mildly amusing. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseWith its cool cast and classic kiss-off ending, The Lost Boys will forever be a cultural touchstone of '80s cinema. [Blu-Ray] |
