Say Hello to the Night

Advantages: Fantastic Film with a great cast
Disadvantages: Slightly dated for some people

The Lost Boys Say Hello to the Night Sleep all day Party all night It's fun to be a vampire It may be an unusual take to write a review on a film which was created in 1987, though this, I believe, is one of those classic films that live on no matter how many years have gone past. I first watched it as a teenager with one of my friends and we fell in love with it straight away and years later I finally brought it on DVD and have already watched it ...
...as good special effects for the time, they are not so much a spot on the horizon for modern day special effects, though I feel this has to be kept in mind. OUTSIDE THE LOST BOYS The Lost Boys in title was originally in reference to the Peter Pan stories by J.M.Barrie and was directed by Joel Schumacher.

...really bites. *~Plot~* The plot follows the story of orphan brother and sister, Chris (Tad Hilgenbrink) and Nicole (Autumn Reeser) who move to the seaside town of Luna Bay. On their first day, Chris comes across fellow ex-surf star Shane Powers (Angus Sutherland) who invites them to a party that night.
