"Lost After Dark" is a nice little throw-back to 1980s slasher films complete with bimbos, crimped hair, heavily moussed hair, ankle warmers, and (of course) that "Flashdance" look.
The story is about as simple as you can get--natch, it's an homage to 80s slasher films--eight teenagers (who really don't have much in common) decide to ditch a prom and go to one girl's uncle's cabin waaay out in the middle of nowhere. They steal a bus and away they go. Trouble is, the bus runs out of gas in the middle of nowhere (but not too far from an abandoned looking house) and there the fun begins. Teenagers are offed in some pretty gruesome ways, but you've seen it before.
I will give the actors and the director props on giving/keeping this film in the 80s. They even had cassette tapes and a boom box! The film also had a nice look to it, and although I do not see any forthcoming nominations for an Oscar, the acting was better than most movies set in the 1980s. Robert Patrick (of "Terminator 2" fame) gives your typical 1980s vice-principal bad ass a boost.
Rated "R" for gore and language try "Lost After Dark" if you want to take a trip down the 1980s slasher memory lane.
