Plot Summary:
A cult classic that redefined the vampire genre, The Lost Boys blends horror, comedy, and 80s cool into one unforgettable ride. Set in the seaside town of Santa Carla, California, the film follows teenage brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) as they move to town with their recently divorced mother (Dianne Wiest).
Santa Carla seems like a laid-back beach townβuntil the brothers discover itβs overrun with vampires. When Michael falls under the spell of the charismatic and dangerous David (Kiefer Sutherland), the leader of a gang of young vampires, he begins to changeβbecoming stronger, more aggressive, and developing an insatiable thirst for blood. Meanwhile, Sam, along with quirky vampire-hunting brothers Edgar and Alan Frog (Corey Feldman & Jamison Newlander), desperately tries to save him before itβs too late.
With its electrifying soundtrack, stylish visuals, and iconic one-liners, The Lost Boys perfectly captures 80s youth culture, rebellion, and the eternal allure of vampires. A blend of horror, dark humor, and action, this film remains one of the most beloved vampire movies of all time.
