The Lost Boys (1987)

★★★★☆

After moving to a new beachfront town, Michael quickly begins to fall for a young girl named Lucy. However, after meeting her “gang” and drinking a mysterious drink he begins to cringe at the light, have incredible strength and craves blood. Soon he realizes that he’s been initiated into a gang of vampires. Now, he and a two vampire-hunting brothers must find a way to turn him back before they have and Lucy for their next meal. With a stunning, synth-Goth score and a memorable performance by Kiefer Sutherland, this tale of bloodsucking vamps really exemplifies what the 80’s where about. The makeup is amazing and the humor is great. It’s what Return of the Living Dead was to the zombie genre.
