Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008 Video)
Poorly Made and Written Sequel
17 August 2008
I am a big fan of Lost Boys from 1987 -- loved the humor, the MTV glamor, and the music. Humor, glamor, and excellent music is what made that horror movie good, I realized, after seeing this travesty of a sequel. I can't believe the same writers were involved! Personally, I could care less about gore and nudity. Seeing naked bodies is fine if you've created an erotic atmosphere (this movie doesn't have one). Gore I can do without. Whoever thinks horror is synonymous with blood and guts is operating in a different universe than I am. Edgar Allen Poe and other classic horror writers appealed to innate fears; they did not try to gross out readers. Spilled guts are sickening. They aren't scary.

Anyway, to the point: this movie was very disappointing. It has a pale, pale connection to the original and my suggestion is don't bother to waste an hour and a half of your time watching it.
