If you wanted to see a movie that captures the spirit of the 1980s and ventured beyond John Hughes’ stable of teenage films, you could do far worse than “The Lost Boys.”
‘THE LOST BOYS’

How apt a depiction of the decade is Joel Schumacher’s 1987 vampire film? It stars Corey Haim AND Corey Feldman. It also has mullets, spiked hair and wardrobe selections that went out of style before the movie was out of theaters.
How cool is that?
Depends on how old you are, probably. Either way, it’s an enjoyable time capsule of bad hair disguised as a vampire movie, but it works pretty well on that front, too. You’ve got a chance to see it again on the big screen Saturday, Sept. 8 at Pollack Tempe Cinemas. If you go, you’ll also be eligible for raffles and other prizes. It’s presented by Cult Classics Arizona.
In the film, Michael (Jason Patric) and his younger brother Sam (Haim) move to California with their mother Lucy (Dianne Wiest), recently divorced. Michael falls for Star (Jamie Gertz), but she has a boyfriend: David (Kiefer Sutherland), who we know is a bad boy because a) he has spiky blond hair and b) he’s a vampire. (With the passing of time, one seems about as dangerous as the other.) Meanwhile, Lucy starts to date her boss (Edward Herrmann).
Michael falls in with David’s gang and is gradually becoming a vampire. But Sam realizes what’s going on and, with the help of the Frog brothers (Feldman plays one of them), tries to stop the transformation. (The Frogs recommend just killing him; Sam wants to take a less-drastic approach.) It’s funny and somewhat scary; creepy is probably the better way to describe it. And there is a twist that is no less good for being oddly telegraphed.
Patric is the star, ostensibly, and he’s a great actor whose career never really took off like it seemed it might. But Sutherland often steals the show; it would be fun in some bizarro fantasy world to see Jack Bauer take on David. But Haim, who died in 2010, is also quite good.
It’s been 25 years since “The Lost Boys” came out. Really? Time flies. If your parachute pants still fit, pull them on and relive a part of our youth. And if they don’t still fit? I’d say go anyway.
