Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008)

The sequel to the classic vampire movie, the Lost Boys, follows siblings Chris (Tad Hilgenbrinck) and Nicole (Autumn Reeser) Emerson. Having lost both of their parents, the two move to Luna Bay to live with their Aunt. Chris, having once been a professional surfer, crosses paths with head vampire and surfer Shane (Angus Sutherland) who invites both of them to a party. It doesn’t take long for Shane to make his move on Nicole, offering her a taste of vampire blood. As Nicole’s transformation begins, Chris receives the help of none other than Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman). Together, the two pair up to take down the vampires and save Nicole.

It is very easy to see why fans of the original Lost Boys found themselves so disappointed in this sequel. While having the film directed by anyone other than Joel Schumacher spelled out as much trust in this film as its straight to DVD plans, hopes were high that P.J. Pesce’s (From Dusk Till Dawn 3) could possibly turn this around. The result is what seems like a complete copycat of the original with a slightly more updated world that these vampires live in.

The Frog Brothers Are Back In Lost Boys 2: The Tribe

The 1987 hit, The Lost Boys is back and straight to DVD with the July 29th release of Lost Boys 2: The Tribe. The story, paying homage to the 20th anniversary of this legendary film, finds a brother and sister living in what appears to be a quiet and peace surf town in California. But after getting mixed up with a gang of surfers, they realize they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

The Vampires of Luna Bay are quick to take out anyone who crosses paths with them. The siblings, Chris (Hilgenbrink) and Nicole (Reeser) Emerson have lost their parents, leaving them to live with their Aunt Jillian. It doesn’t take long for them to get mixed up with the local Vampires, leaving Chris on a quest to kill Shane (Sutherland) to prevent his sister’s transformation after she unwittingly drank vampire blood.

But it wouldn’t be the Lost Boys without the Frog Brothers, so prepare for cameos from Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander.
