Grandpa is everything. Everything. Grows weed, has no TV cause he's got the TV Guide, has a penchant for double stuffed oreos, don't touch his shelf, loves Santa Carla except for all the damn vampires.

Jay is "meh" on

The Lost Boys

I’ve rocked the shaggy 80s hair for a bit and always heard from people “You look like you’re from the Lost Boys!” Always thought they meant Peter Pan until I watched this. Honestly? Was bored the entire watch. But being compared to a vampire is better than a kid in a onesie ig

The Lost Boys

Keifer Sutherland is a badass. That should be the whole review. This is a stereotypical 80s horror flick. I hate to say it, but the Cory Feldman storyline detracts from the overall vibe and mood. Could be great, but it’s just above good.

The Lost Boys

This is one of my favorite flicks. Love the time period and the casting. A single mom with two boys moves in with her father did to hard times. Whole venturing around town, one of the boys meets a group of kids that are not quite what the appear to be. They are far worse. Great.

Universal acclaim based on 225 Reviews

There's some good stuff in the movie, including a cast that's good right down the line and a willingness to have some fun with teenage culture in the Mass Murder Capital. But when everything is all over, there's nothing to leave the theater with - no real horrors, no real dread, no real imagination - just technique at the service of formula.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

100

Corey 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.
