Second sequel to the classic of the eighties is plenty of noisy action , chills and lots of blood and gore
24 May 2017
The final installment of original The Lost Boys Trilogy . Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) is stressed as well as bankrupted and he has to sell his valuable comic book collection just to pay rent on a decrepit trailer that is ultimately evicted . Shortly after , a best-selling vampire novelist called Gwen (Tanit Phoenix) approaches with an offer . She needs him to encounter her sibling who has gone missing after getting sucked into a series of underground raves , called The Gathering , run by a mysterious spinner named DJ X (Seb Castang) . As DJ Dusk is the head vampire and utilizing his parties to raise his undead henchmen . Being given a new party , Edgar must assemble a vamp-hunting bunch , being accompanied by Zoe (Casey Dolan) , his brother Alan (Jamison Newlander) who is dealing with his own dark demons , along with a Hollywood participant of reality show called Lars von Goetz (Stevan Van Nieker) and the cameraman Claus (Joe Vaz) . The rave will take place in a slaughterhouse on enigmatic island , there they meet DJ Dusk X , a pack of bloodsuckers and hoodlums . Before the fighting is over Edgar will find out there is a greater evil and must take on his most astonishing fears.

This eerie picture displays terror , thriller , humor with tongue-in-cheek , violence , chills and loads of blood and guts . The movie contains great load of action , special effects abundant made by 3D computer generator and numerous scenes have you on edge of your seat . However , it fails to deliver either frights or laughs . The screenwriter provides a very serviceable and passable-knit plot with suspense , haunting tension , horror and improbable situations . In this one , there is a spectacular rave party and a powerful drug , known as The Thirst , which resulted out to be a mixture of vampire blood and ecstasy . The title became a direct-to-DVD hit smash , making back its medium budget in just some weeks of DVD sales . Corey Feldman as Edgar Frog again plays a vampire hunter with a sympathetic and enticing attitude . Corey Haim returned as well , but only for some flashback scenes . Despite turning down a role in the sequel , Corey Haim announced he would take part in a third and fourth installment . But he died before anything could come of the project .

The original and best film of the trilogy was ¨The Lost boys¨ (1987) by Joel Schumacher with Jason Patric , Kiefer Sutherland , Jami Gertz , Corey Feldman , Corey Haim , Dianne Wiest , Barnard Hughes , Edward Herrmann . The first sequel titled ¨Lost Boys : the tribe¨ by P.J. Pesce was starred by Tad Hilgenbrick ,Angus Sutherland , Donald's brother , and Corey Feldman , of course . Due to poor critical as well as public response of Lost Boys : The Tribe , Corey Feldman was promoted to the main character in ¨The thirst¨ . While the other Frog brother Jamison Newlander, only appeared in an alternate ending found on the DVD . The Tribe saw the return of Corey Haim and Corey Feldman , famous couple by that time , in the 80s playing two Peter Cushing teens , both of whom made several films as likable adolescent duo ; however today they only play B movies . While filming ¨The tribe¨ Feldman told that the Frog Brothers will reunite for this third installment , titled ¨Lost Boys: The Thirst ¨ by Dario Piana ; sadly Corey Ham doesn't repeat role being recently dead . The motion picture was regularly directed by Dario Pesce , a filmmaker expert on terror , such as he proved in ¨The deaths of Ian Stone¨. Produced by Warner Premiere , the studio behind the latter two sequels , but it went bankrupt and all ¨The Lost Boys¨ franchise schemes were abandoned . The flick will appeal to vampire genre fans and is especially aimed at juvenile audiences.
