Lost boys the tribe: Sexy, edgy and dark. Reminiscent of the original Lost Boys but without the seduction of Jason Patrick and Keither Sutherland.
Don’t expect any surprises in this film. The plot is straight forward and viewers will know the outcome even before the movie ends.

The soundtrack sucks (excuse the pun) and cannot compare to the original Lost Boys. Cry little Sister is vamped up, and it’s cool to hear the memorable song again. 

Also. there are many pieces of dialogue that was used in the first film.

Fans of Lost Boys will be disappointed. It’s a cool film but can’t compare to the original classic.

The Wild One, staring Marlon Brando. The film that started it all.
