The Lost Boys

The Lost Boys

1987, R, 97 min. Directed by Joel Schumacher. Starring Jason Patric, Corey Haim, Dianne Wiest, Barnard Hughes, Edward Hermann, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman.

REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Wed., May 9, 2001

Arguably Joel Schumacher's finest film, The Lost Boys intelligently traverses the treacherous ground of teenagers and vampirism. The cast includes an Eighties hodgepodge of the ubiquitous Coreys and at least two of Julia Roberts' exes.
