the lost boys (1987)

"My own brother, a Goddamn shitsucking vampire!"
A newly divorced mother of two moves with her sons, Sam and Michael to live in Santa Carla. Once settled in Michael (Jason Patric) falls in with a bike gang led by David (Kiefer Sutherland). What he doesn't know is that they are vampires, and they quickly set about turning him. Sam soon learns about his brothers newly found blood sucking tendancies, and enlists the Frog brothers (Jamison Newlander and Corey Feldman), self styled vampire killers and local comic shop workers, to help. Can they find and kill the head vampire, thus freeing Michael from the curse?
An 80's brat-pack take on the vampire tale, chock full of 80's fashions and music, but don't let that put you off. This is in fact a light-hearted adventure, that doesn't take itself too seriously and has some memorable scenes. Especially good are the Frog brothers, who got their own short lived horror comic franchise out of this.
