The Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008) -- DVD

"The Lost Boys: The Tribe" is a beyond-awful sequel to the 1987 cult smash -- and a favorite of my teen years -- "The Lost Boys." Unlike the first film, nearly every scene in this California coastal vampire flick reeks of incompetence. And I really can't get into the plot. Seriously. It has bro-sis sex vibes that ... y'know, let's move on. OK? Worse yet, the audio on this straight-to-DVD bust sounds as if it was re-recorded in a tin shack, making some scenes unbearable to listen to much less watch. Sad sack actor Corey Feldman appears here from the first film in a listless performance. Sadder still Corey Haim shows up post-credits, but by then it's far too late for any punch value. The rest of the cast, including Angus Sutherland, brother of Keifer, are too dull for words. It's a mess too awful for theaters. We waited 21 years for this? F

  1. I can't believe I was in a rush to see this film.

    At least the post credit moments were pretty good. We probably should have fast forwarded to get to those Corey v/s Corey moments.
