Lost

Okay here we go, I said I was gonna try and keep this going and I have my first of a three movie line up, expect more tomorrow. But for now?


Lost Boys: The Tribe


Lost Boys: The Tribe is a direct to DVD movie that has yet to be released, and therefore does not have any numbers.

Chris Emerson and his sister are down on their luck, and must move into their Aunt's spare house... When at a party, Chris' sister is turned by a vampire... Chris must then enlist the help of Edgar Frog to save her.

This is a movie that teeters on the edge, the original Lost Boys was a cult classic and has droves of fans that will surely tear this movie apart if it strays too far from what the original flick was. I must say myself that it's not a horrible movie.

Granted that this is not saying it is a good one either. It is simply bland, a retread of the original story. It does nothing to add to the story, or make you want to add it to your collection. The best part of this movie would have to be Corey Feldman as Edgar Frog...

But do note, see how in the art Edgar is in the far background? It is that way in the movie as well. Aside from the climax he has but three scenes throughout, and there are NO scenes featuring his brother... They were all cut.

The movie has peaked my interest with the short, after the credits roll, return of Corey Haime and it's alternate endings. This story should be what Lost Boys II was... But instead it was simply the same movie as the first with a new cast.

In the unlikely event there is a Lost Boys III we may get the actually intriguing story that this film only alludes to, but do not hold your breath. This is a movie easily passed over, but if there is nothing else to watch (which this week may just be the case, there are so few releases) you wouldn't be wasting your time picking it up on July 29th when it is released.
