The Lost Boys

After a divorce, mother Wiest and her teenage sons Patric and Haim go to live with her father Hughes in fictional Santa Carla, a Californian community that is inhabited by a gang of vampires. One son befriends them while the other forms an alliance with brothers Feldman and Newlander, who run a comic book store by day and are wannabe vampire hunters at night. Still stylish and scary after all these years. Unfortunately, the story is a bit dull in hindsight, and opportunities for great twists are not taken advantage of… not to mention the rushed finale in an otherwise well-paced horror flick. Coined the term "vamp out".
