Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Absolutely Fantastic

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The only things going for this film: Corey Feldman and a guest appearance from Tom Savini in the beginning - that's pretty much it.The film didn't hold my interest at all except for a couple of scenes with Feldman that I stopped fast-forwarding through to watch for him.Maybe I'm just getting old but the original "Lost Boys" is so much better and darker than this one. Yeah I'm biased I guess but I think my/our teen film "Lost Boys" is soooo much better than this newer teen film "The Tribe".This one is nothing but soft-porn for teens that can't act, a rip off story and extra bloody at times just to throw some fake blood on camera. Our "Lost Boys" had blood, one romantic love scene and a good story. No comparison at all.I highly recommend the original "Lost Boys" to vampire fans but not this film "The Tribe" (should be called "The Tripe" - yes it's that awful).2/10 - For Corey Feldman it gets an extra point.

After moving to a new town, a young man gets involved with the leader of a rebellious vampire clan after his sister gets turned into one forcing him to enlist a legendary vampire hunter to track them down and return her safely.This one was pretty decent though it did have some problems. One of the film's greatest parts here is the first half's rather fun telling of her transformation which is where it does have some good stuff in the gradual realization that they're dealing with vampires. The fact that this utilizes vampire lore fairly well in doing so, from the sudden super-strength and demonic voices to the initial feasting attempt that gets interrupted and showcases the traits of her growing condition using the mirror and crosses to fine effect here. While integrated nicely with the first encounter with the entertainer from the party where she gets accidentally impaled on the statue and explodes which really settles into the idea further of what's going on that he's stumbled upon a vampire clan, and after meeting the hunter fills him in on how it's built that really sets into motion what's going on. The build-up here from this into the second half here of how he tries to win over the group with some fine action scenes here, from the rather thrilling chase throughout town as they flaunt themselves around for the officers charging after them, a great group swarming scene at a night-time surfing session with some fine brawling here with the fight against the other vampires before setting up some fantastic set-pieces in the finale where he stalks the group down in their hideout where there's some great battling against the rest of the clan as well as the big final battle around the two which is really fun, and includes the great setting which is a dank, dark crypt which allows for some nice atmosphere. With the fantastic make-up and gore here helping this one to become slightly decent, there's enough to like here to hold this one up over its few flaws. The biggest is that it consisted far too much on a series of clichés which aren't the least bit interesting, from the lifestyle of the gang being into extreme sports or the laid-back surfer vibe which isn't exciting nor really makes the main villain someone that really should be fallen for. The different manners of behavior which indicate that are so lame and haphazardly written here that he comes off as a really pathetic villain, especially all the talk about the lead vampire being such a threat but turns out to be yet another pansy vampire looking for a bride like in so many of these kinds of films. The other problem comes from the rather weak plan for infiltrating the group, which doesn't make much sense. Not only does that require the fact that they're incapable of realizing the change has taken place when they did it to him in the first place, but also knowingly sends the guy into a coven full of vicious vampires that have already taken an interest in him from the previous party antics and simply accepting him in anyway just because his sister's involved with them, a plan that make this one seem quite lame at times. Still, this one is a lot of fun.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Extreme Graphic Language, Full Nudity, some sexual content and drug use.

As a huge fan of the original movie, I finally brought myself to watch Lost Boys 2. For a direct-to-DVD movie, it was better than expected but there were obviously some missed opportunities. Basically the only actor to reprise his role is Corey Feldman as Edgar Frog. Corey Haim is in an end credits scene and Jamison Newlander is in a deleted scene. I know both actors wanted bigger parts in the movie so it seems like common sense. Why only have one Frog Brother? Also, this sequel seemed to follow the first movie's formula scene-by-scene. Michael and Star's teenage son and daughter move into a town close to Santa Carla (I guess they couldn't afford to film in the same location.) The daughter gets mixed up with the head vampire (played by Keither Sutherland's son) and the brother joins the gang to keep her out of danger. He drinks vampire blood, becomes a half vampire and him and Edgar proceed to stake all the vampires to break the curse. Sound a little familiar? I think the long-rumoured 'The Lost Girls' would have made a more interesting sequel.The ending was much less-climactic than the original film. The head vampire wakes-up and says "Edgar", implying they have a history or something. This goes unresolved as Edgar and the head vampire are never come in contact with one another … Oh and there's no twist with who's the head vampire. I expected the landlord when she burst into the house at the end but unfortunately not. That would have given the character a purpose in the film which she did not have. Who was she anyway; a relative or family friend? I don't think it was explained. A lot of this movie makes no sense.All in all, the movie is mildly enjoyable. I recommend watching it if the DVD isn't expensive.

To even use the name "Lost Boys" in title of this movie is an absolute abomination in itself. For fans of the original cult classic, I would strongly urge you not to even bother wasting a second on this...yes, I too was excited when I heard that there was a sequel but I regret it now.Gratuitous violence for violence sake, completely lacking any of the humour or wit of the original, devoid of any semblance of an imaginative or even remotely interesting plot and punctuated with spurts of mindless action. For those who have not yet watched the original but have instead had the misfortune of watching The Tribe, don't let this put you off - there's no comparison, the two movies are light years apart.
