THE LOST BOYS (1987) MOVIE REACTION - WHAT A BLAST! - First Time Watching - Review

Welcome to our first-time watching The Lost Boys (1987). This movie is not what we expected in the best way possible! This '80s vampire flick caught us off guard.
"The Lost Boys" tells the story of two brothers who just moved to the new costal town of Santa Carla. But little by little they start to unravel the blood-sucking truth. This town is also the home to a group of young, leather jacket wearing vampires. This movie had such a unique blend of genres. It had horror, comedy, and a lot of '80s atmosphere and nostalgia. While offering some unique lore and new twists on the classic vampire.
The performances were fantastic too! Sam Emerson played by Corey Haim killed it with his charisma and Michael Emerson (Jason Patric) was fantastic as the teenager turned vampire! Not to mention David (Kiefer Sutherland) he stole every scene he was in!
We hope you enjoy our reaction and commentary as we delve into this Halloween classic. This movie helped shape the portrayal of vampires in pop culture and the film still holds up!
Join us as we explore the world of the undead with a sense of style!

This harks back to my childhood and I'm not Jonathan Harking " vampire humor" the twist at the end is great, and the soundtrack. Fun fact seeing this at 7 Holy water was always around. The frog 🐸 brother were always a jump away. Best vampire movie..but Bella Legosi in Universal 1931 "Dracula" was pretty epic. Twilight nope 🙅🏻 "Interview with a Vampire" great. Bram Stokers "Dracula" okay

In some tales, vampires are able to "glamour" humans by making them see what they want or by forgetting things. I loved that you watched this guys, your reaction was great. The mum in this is so sweet and kind and the grandpa is the GOAT! Kiefer Sutherland is mesmerizing in this role.

The Lost Boys represent orphans adopted by Max after their father drowned at sea chasing a would-be mother, Max's ex wife who also drowned. Watch 'Overboard' with Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, plenty of clues linking the four boys to the vampire lore.

the makeup they used to make people look like vampires was perfect, especially the contact lenses and fangs

When I was 23, my Pop came to my room to ask me if I wanted to see Donald Sutherland's kid play a vampire. Sure, I said. For the next hour and a half, my tongue's hanging out a foot. I have made it my life's work to see everything young Sutherland puts to film and I'm never disappointed. He is the greatest actor of our time. Go beyond the big hits. Look for "Dark City". "Phone Booth". "Last Light" with Forest Whitaker (must see) or "Eye For An Eye" with Sally Field. You won't sleep. This was great fun watching this with you two! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@justinsadowski9823]

I first saw this movie in 1989ish. I was 8 or 9 years old. It wasn’t until I was roughly 40 years old where I realized the “Grandpa” was the Van Helsing character. The taxidermy isn’t showing he’s an odd guy…it’s showing he’s a natural born hunter…very clever movie, and underrated

[@davidboen8189]

the actor that played the vampire Marko (Alex Winter) also played Bill in Bill and Ted's excellent adventure.

[@dolleyes5062]

Another great reaction! "The Lost Boys" is one of the best vampire movies ever, one of the best 80s movies ever & BY FAR the best movie the 2 Coreys Haim & Feldman, have ever made. Jason Patric, Keifer Sutherland & the Lost Boys were not only gorgeous, they also had the best vampire hair ever! Did any vampires own hair salons in Santa Carla? 🤔🙃😉 As hot as MOST of the vampires were & as cool as the Frog Brothers were, the best character in the movie was Grandpa, who was not only a badass, he also had the best line: "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach: all the damn vampires." Iconic! Another great movie with Kiefer Sutherland is "A Few Good Men." Kiefer's role was small but crucial. Thanks again! 🧛🦇🩸

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Thank you for watching this with us! That last line as the screen fades to black got us good! Adding your suggestion to our list ❤️

[@dolleyes5062]

​​@@OfficialMediaKnightsThanks for the kindness! Grandpa is another vampire movie trope: the "lunatic" who knew the truth all along. However, I did miss your response to one of the best lines: "Wait 'til Mom finds out!" Fun Fact: Jami Gertz, who played Star, said that director Joel Schumacher didn't show her in full vamp mode because he didn't think that girls should kill. If I were playing a vampire, I'd want the full treatment, fangs & all! 🦇🩸 Other suggestions: "Fright Night (1985 version)," "Fright Night 2," "Near Dark," "Once Bitten," "Vamp" & "From Dusk Till Dawn," which stars George Clooney, was written by Quentin Tarantino & directed by Robert Rodriguez.

[@0okamino]

Effective immortality, fortitude, potence, celerity, flight, and perpetually great hair. Being a vampire certainly has its allure. 😉

[@shellchoke427]

What a nice coincidence - I just watched The Lost Boys a few days ago! As a kid of the 80s, I managed to watch it back then. It's one of those movies I love to return to from time to time, not only because it scratches that nostalgia-itch, but it's a great movie all on its own. Love it!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

Good timing! We agree! This movie is a great watch and it gave us a glimpse of what being a teenager in the 80s looked like!

[@mokefish8126]

Such a fun classic! I can't believe you guys didn't remark on oily sax man though! He's an 80's icon! As film makers with an amazing eye for detail, you should consider watching "Let the Right One In". I know you'd both love it!

[@snakeplissken5928]

Cappello was Tina Turner's sax player from the 80s and 90s. Great reactions

[@xevious21]

Fun fact: The movie is called The Lost Boys because the original first draft/idea for it was to make a twisted version of Peter Pan. Where Peter Pan and the Lost Boys were immortal because they where vampires. After several rewrites, Peter Pan was dropped, but The Lost Boys name stuck.

[@Ravenwind999]

I absolutely LOVE this movie! I never get tired of watching it!!!!! And if no one else haven't already said so a thousand times, Grandpa turned out to be a former vampire hunter. That's why he was so knowledgeable (remember how he looked at Max when he was at the door asking to be "invited" in?) , knew how to make stakes and of course, kill the head vampire at the end. But, he obviously had to stop hunting because of his age. Team Grandpa! 😁

[@shrodingerschat2258]

Jami Gertz (the actress who played "Star") was one of my 80's crushes! She's still gorgeous to this day!

[@thomasbeauchamp3781]

This was filmed in Santa Cruz, California where I live. The monk during the People are Strange montage used to ride the bus with me.

[@derekfnord]

42:45 - They did try other ways to catch Max besides just garlic. They also threw holy water on him and shoved a mirror in his face to try and catch him not reflecting. But those things didn't work because Michael had invited him in...

[@tinocontreras5105]

I didn't get that though. Didn't Grandpa have to be the one to invite him in. Thought the owner of the house had to invite the vampire in

[@shannonpage6665]

When this movie came out my older brother, Michael and I were of similar age to the brothers and I at times could totally believe my brother was a vampire!😂 Another reason why I love this movie was the Aussie musicians INXS and Jimmy Barnes featuring pretty strongly in the soundtrack, which was very rare at the time. All the characters are great, but Grandpa was the star for me, and delivers one of my favourite closing lines. Thanks for the great reaction.

[@jamedraa8472]

Fun reaction. Corey Feldman and Corey Haim were HUGE stars and best friends. Their faces were everywhere. unfortunately they experienced the dark side of Hollywood. Corey Haim passed away in 2010 at 38 years old.

[@illuminahde]

Feldog and his Angels still tour. They make music. Technically

[@JessieCristo]

The grandpa's words at the end about "...all the damn vampires." was to imply that there were more in Santa Clara, and not just Max and his Lost Boys. That's why the mom and her boys had that shocked look on their faces.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

That would mean there are more head/lead vampires out there turning people and recruiting. That is a terrifying thought!

[@fighterx9840]

I never thought about that before, that's pretty scary indeed

[@JessieCristo]

@@OfficialMediaKnights My theory was that Max just happened to be the oldest and most powerful in town. Now maybe another will step up. There is a Lost Boys 2 but I never got to watch it. Plus, I've heard some bad reviews for it, so in an effort to maintain my love for the original movie I refused to watch part 2.

[@JessieCristo]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Another GREAT 80s iconic cult classic you need to check out is a movie called Night Breed, starring Craig Sheffer. I think you two would really love it.

[@fireidar]

@@JessieCristo That explains what happened in 2. I used to own a copy. It was an ok movie, but not as good as one even though it WAS a sequel (but only had two of the original cast-Edgar and Alan). I would still have it if it wasn't for the fact I leant it to my then-friend who was also an Lost Boys Fan-and never got it back. I've been trying to find another copy to buy, but all I can find is this one and the remake.

'80s had killer scores, too, with Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Conan the Barbarian, but we didn't put those scores in our cassette players and blast it as we cruised on road trips

You have to understand that when this movie first came out, vampires were NOT cool, they were monsters. This is the first movie to make vampires cool, sexy, and desirable. It singlehandedly changed the vampire genre forever. Fun Fact: For years after the movie's release, fans speculated that David didn't die. First off, David was impaled with antlers not wood. Secondly, he didn't explode or implode or dissolve.

[@TheRealdal]

The little brother is Corey Haim. Unfortunately he passed away back in 2010 after a long battle of drug abuse and pneumonia. He was a great actor 😢 who didn’t realize his potential and addiction got the best of him. Him and Corey Feldman, one of the other boys in the movie were best friends in life also.

[@NovaNation-u2k]

He didn't have a chance to realize his potential. IYKYK.

[@erindiazmclaughlin]

He knew his potential. He just got messed with as a kid, which led to addiction. I never know what I can type in the comments. One must be careful about the words used. But you can look up Corey Haim and Corey Feldman to find the story.

[@mercedesnadason7199]

[@David-nf8vb]

I'm pretty sure the grandpa was a vampire (a good one, without a first kill) at least thats the feeling I got bcs of the dissection hobbie and the "beers" he kept just for him. So...he dissected animals to avoid killing people.

[@robwealer5416]

Surprised no one thought to allegorize juvenile delinquency or lost youth using vampirism before this. The classical vampire archetype is both a challenge to accepted mores (ie. sexual, class systems, politics) but all eventually are consumed by the "shadow" personality that is summoned to achieve it. All vampire stories seem to need both "light" and "dark" versions, like this story. Whomever put this together knew what they were doing.

This has always been one of my favorite movies, I saw it when it came out. There is a very interesting story about the actor who did the younger brother, Corey Haim and one of the Frog Brothers, Corey Feldman; they were both prominent childhood victims of Hollywood. As adults A&E I think did a semi-reality show about their relationship called The Two Corey's. Corey Haim was a recovering addict but died at 38 of heart failure and pneumonia that may have been exacerbated by drug use. He was big in the 80's and you should consider watching his amazing performance in Lucas (my favorite), Silver Bullet, Murphy's Romance, License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream. But this is the movie that made him big. Cory Feldman is best known I think for his role in Stand By Me with River Phoenix (that role had originally been offered to Haim) Wil Wheaton, and Jerry O'Connell as well as Keifer Sutherland if you've not reacted to that you DEFINITELY should it is truly a classic coming of age film; one of the best ever, and written by Steven King.

The eerie thing to me was the children sing, Thou Shalt Not Fall. That really hit right on the mark. Jamie Gertz… I just loved her in this. Her dancing with that hair. She was perfectly cast! Now I have to watch Twister to see her again! 🤣

[@Bnpearce76]

This movie is the best VAMPIRE movie ever !!!! The best !

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

It's absolutely in our top favorites list!!

[@tinocontreras5105]

​@@OfficialMediaKnightswatch Fright Night the 80s version. That was a good vampire movie. They did a remake that wasn't good, went over the top with the unnecessary swearing and antics.

[@alexmoreira876]

A movie I grew up with, watched countless times on TV in the 90s and 2000s, probably my favorite vampire movie ever.

[@cathytice6370]

It was a delight to 'watch' this with you! While it would have been epic to sit in and see your every reaction to everything, I get why you can't. I saw this the night it came out, and nine more times in the next four months. I'm a huge horror fan and I consider this one of the best vampire movies ever made. Keep up the good work! You guys are smart enough that your commentary is very cool, and you don't ruin things or try to shade those of us watching. Glad you enjoyed this movie, because it's pretty much immortal.

[@flacocarrera7037]

You guys are growing to be my favorites. And I just love this movie more and more I watch it and the older I get. I was born in 2000. And I love the 80s. Definitely my favorite when it comes to movies and music. Love you 2! ❤❤❤

[@katiepooh2137]

This is my favorite vampire film ever!! My dad showed it to me one Halloween and hooked!! Jason Patric who plays Micheal also shares my birthday!! ❤

[@richardovercast2258]

This is one of my all time favorites. First seen it at the theater when I was about 10 yrs old.

[@JamesMLeggatJrP2E]

The film is an adaptation of the Peter Man mythos. Max is Pan, the Mom Wendy. Star is Tiger Lilly. The Brothers of Wendy (Michael and John) are Michael and Sam here. Nanook replaces Nana the St. Bernard. And Grandpa is a combination of Hook and Smee. Director Joel Schumacher said it was one of his favorite films of his career. And yes, I saw it in theaters, bought the soundtrack, the poster, then the vhs, the dvd and finally the blu-ray.

[@alistairrobinson3865]

Love this movie, great reaction guys!!! Wild fact, Michael is played by actor Jason Patric, the son of Jason miller, the actor who plays father Karas in the exorcist!!! Also Jason Patrics mother is the daughter of Jackie Gleason, so that’s his gramps

[@dragonray9450]

This was great fun hanging out at the movie theater with my friends watching movies like this and other 80's horror and action movies.

[@grendelz]

Lost Boys Predator Big Trouble in Little China The Last Dragon the Karate Kid My favorite 80's vibe movies.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

We've seen 2 out of 4! Adding the others to the list 😀

[@philrob1978]

You two are lovely, just wanted to say that. This is the ultimate late 80s teen horror movie. There is nothing better, and you got it entirely. The soundtrack is immense also, as you heard. Even though I came to it in the early 90s - around 1991, it was still huge among us as early teens. It lives on!

[@ricardorgomez]

You folks reminded me how fun this movie is. I gravitated away just because I just thought it was silly. But yes: fun! The movie is directed by Joel Schumacher so that totally explains the visuals. Look at any movie after this and you see the similarities. The beach is confirmed to be Santa Cruz. The streets looked very familiar. I used to go there for concerts. Before 2000, the city definitely had problems with junkies. Then rich people started moving into the area and building expensive homes and were working to get that cleaned up. But the atmosphere of the City is very on point for how it's portrayed. Thanks for the reaction!

[@SilentBob731]

Aside from being one of the greatest Horror movies of all-time and an absolute 80's Classic, this flick has one of the best soundtracks ever. Plus Jami Gertz, who is all kinds of Nifty. 😍😍😍

[@toddjohnson5176]

The Lost Boys is a absolute classic. The cast was amazing and the story was original and unlike all the other Vampire tales we're used to. Your reaction show was awesome! This was by far the best Lost Boys reaction I've seen. You guys are dope!!😎👍🏽👍🏽

[@BrianSmithNow]

Glad you enjoyed. This is one of my favorites. I was 10 when it came out and made me a vampire and soundtrack fan.

[@MacMc691]

We saw this back in '87, I don't remember if it was at the theater or once it hit cable. We were somewhat regulars in Santa Cruz which is where most of this film was shot, even some of the rides in the movie on the boardwalk we rode, it was a little weird seeing those areas we visited in a movie. lol This movie still holds up all these years later. Jason Patric was about as close to a Jim Morrison look-alike as you could get, part of the reason why you kept seeing close-ups of the two, including the side by side shot. Dude had very similar facial features, all they had to do was do his hair differently. Anyway, great reaction as always you two, glad you enjoyed it.

[@CamillaDrakenborg]

I kid you not, when I was 15 I had watched this movie 52 times! 😆 I stopped counting after that lol My friends & I was slightly obsessed with it! Still got it on vhs & dvd & the soundtrack on lp & cd. The soundtrack is just so good!

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

The soundtrack is fantastic! Whoa! That's how you know you absolutely loved a movie❤️

[@CamillaDrakenborg]

@@OfficialMediaKnights there was few movies like it & no streaming or internet so wasnt to uncommon to rewatch your favs over & over lol

[@mohanicus]

Before vampires went all sparkley Classic movie Love the granddad's car horn all out of tune

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

He was the real MVP there at the end!

[@treshawnathomas]

My first introduction to vampire movies was this movie, had all their posters on my wall in my childhood days. And had crushed hard on the Lost boys. Ever since then being addicted to vampire movies

[@phoenixgal2278]

This movie is a great mix of vampires and the lost boys that is taken from the Peter Pan story, where Peter Pan and his minions the lost boys are in a Neverland where they never grow old. This movie's great and well done for its time, a great cult classic! Thank you for bringing us down memory lane with your commentaries on the film!♥♥

[@akinpaws]

The Frogs did do more tests than the garlic. They surprised Max with a mirror in front of his face after shutting off the lights briefly, and the glass of water Sam threw at him was certainly holy water.

[@OfficialMediaKnights]

How come it didn’t affect him then? Did we miss something? Or is it implied that a formal invitation cancels all of those effects?

[@akinpaws]

@@OfficialMediaKnights Max said "It renders you powerless". Michael said "I didn't invite you this time, Max." That sounds like the explanation in this 'verse. 🤷

[@philmullineaux5405]

This movie had a huge impact on me and movies! The looks dress hair talk soundtracks violence, u name it! I pretty much fashioned my teens and 20s in this movie! "Death by stereo!". Best movie line ever!

[@MsNewsted]

I have a vintage Lost Boys t-shirt. LOVE THIS MOVIEEEE!!!!!! R.I.P. Corey Haim

[@L1ntaur]

If you watch the scene where Max comes to dinner, you can see the Grandpa recognizes him. As Max is leaving, you can see Grandpa glaring at him. The next day, the Grandpa starts to do some renovations outside which leads to end with him staking Max at the end.

[@rbrtck]

I watched this movie when it was released, and even back then, it seemed like very much a time capsule of the era in which it was made. Naturally, as a result, watching it now is always very nostalgic for me, since I grew up during the 1980s, but like I said, there was some self-awareness of this at the time, and people back then loved that about it already.

[@joehohmann6015]

Still remember seeing this in the movies. So f'n cool at the time and it still holds up today. I wish they would re release good movies like this again to see in the theatres on the big screen.
