The Lost Boys

Have you ever looked up from his oiled breasts to notice how bad he's lip syncing?

Before he was Jack Bauer, Kiefer Sutherland was David, the charismatic leader of The Lost Boys, a motorcycle-riding vampire gang in sun-bleached Santa Carla, California. When single mom Lucy Emerson moves there with her sons Michael and Sam, a beachside romance pulls Michael straight into David’s orbit, and into a world of blood, boardwalks, and bad decisions. Directed by Joel Schumacher (St. Elmo's Fire), the film mixes teen angst, horror, comedy, and a heavy dose of ’80s cool, turning its undead villains into leather-clad rock stars. It became a cult favorite for its style, soundtrack, and quotable moments. But decades later, does The Lost Boys still have bite, or does it feel like a relic of its era? Our hosts head to Santa Carla to decide whether this vampire classic still rules the night.
