Los muchachos perdidos 2: La tribu

I had read allot of negative comments before I watched the film and my expectations were very low, but I found the film OK. It defiantly wasn't a bad film.

Pros The cinematography was good The head vampire was pretty cool.

I loved watching Edgar Frog again and Feldman did a great job at playing the character again.

Cons The vampires looked like pigs, what was that about???? They didn't look nothing like the original vampires. They totally over done the makeup. Also the vampires acted to geeky and weren't bad ass enough. They needed to be more Gothic.

No Allan Frog Not enough Corey Haim. I felt cheated that he wasn't in it much, I was hoping for a longer cameo appearance than that.

The film needed a bigger cooler ending, with traps and things being set up.

The story was too similar to the first one.

Overall the film was OK. If they make a third one make Haim, Newlander and Feldman the stars. That's the film Lost Boys fans want to watch.

The orphan and former surfer Chris Emerson (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his sister Nicole Emerson (Autumn Reeser) move to Luna Bay expecting to initiate a new life without housing expenses with their Aunt Jillian (Gabrielle Rose), but she charges rent to the siblings for a wrecked house, and Chris seeks a job working as board shaper to raise money for the unforeseeable expenses. While in town, he meets his acquaintance and also former surfer Shane Powers (Angus Sutherland) that invites Chris for a surf parting at night. Then the siblings unsuccessfully seek out the board shaper and vampire hunter Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) in his trailer trying to find a job and Chris leaves a message for him. They go to Shane's party and Nicole stays with Shane and drinks booze offered by him. Later she becomes a half-vampire and Edgar advises that she drank vampire's blood and can only be saved if the head-vampire is killed. Chris and Edgar search the hiding place of Shane and his tribe to save Nicole.

I saw the trailer of "Lost Boys: The Tribe" and I really expected a great sequel of "Lost Boys", but unfortunately I found a weak reference to the classic vampire movie. The writer used the same storyline and introduced some gore, many naked or half-naked women (the stunningly hot Moneca Delain, for example, "acts" undressing her tiny bikini and having shower and sex with Chris) and a weird thirty-seven year old Corey Feldman acting like a teenager trying to repeat the success of the original movie. However, the acting is flat and there is a total lack of humor and charm in this sequel, with a weak Angus Sutherland in the lead role. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Garotos Perdidos 2: A Tribo" ("Lost Boys 2: The Tribe")

This follow-up and straight to video movie concerns a siblings couple named Chris and Nicole ( Hilgenbrink , Autumn Reeser ) moves to Luna Bay at house their aunt ( Gabrielle Rose ). At the little town Chris , a notorious surfer , attempts to encounter an employment . There they meet a pack of bloodsuckers led by Shane Power ( Angus Sutherland, Donald's brother ) and underlings . Then the brothers unsuccessfully seek out the vampire hunter Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman ) in his trailer and Chris leaves a message for him. They go to Shane's party and Nicole stays with Shane and drinks booze offered by him . After that , she becomes a half-vampire and Edgar advises that she drank vampire's blood and can only be saved if the head-vampire is killed by means of wooden stakes and using garlics. Chris and Edgar search the refugee of Shane and his tribe to save Nicole . Chris turn into vampire at the night and stricken to hungry blood.Then he undergoes a dental transformation and going on a murderous rampage every time a vampire enemy appears.

This eerie picture displays terror, thriller, violence, chills and loads of blood and guts . The movie contains great load of action , special effects abundant 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, tension, horror and improbable situations . Many people may not even be aware that there was a Lost Boys sequel . The title became a direct-to-DVD hit smash, making back its $5 million dollar budget in just three weeks of DVD sales. The Tribe saw the return of Corey Haim and Corey Feldman , famous couple by that time , in the 80s playing two Peter Cushing teens , booth of whom made several films as sympathetic adolescent duo ; however today they only play B movies . Feldman as Edgar Frog again plays a vampire hunter with an attitude, as well as Angus Sutherland replacing in for his brother Kiefer. Corey Haim returned as well, but only for one scene at the end of the movie, a special cameo , while the other Frog brother, Jamison Newlander, only appeared in an alternate ending found on the DVD . Feldman told that the Frog Brothers will reunite for the third installment , titled ¨Lost Boys: The Thirst ¨ by Dario Piana and in post-production ; sadly Corey Ham doesn't repeat role being recently dead . The motion picture is regularly directed by P. J. Pesce , a filmmaker expert on sequels such as he proved in ¨ Sniper 3 ¨ and ¨ From dusk till down : the hangman's daughter ¨ and of course ¨ The lost boys : the tribe ¨. The flick will appeal to vampire genre fans and is especially aimed at juvenile audiences.

This is a film I had to see, I mean, 'Lost Boys' is a classic! And the fact that a sequel has been made! Well, like I said, I had to see it.

To follow up a film like 'lost boys' it's gonna have to be something special. When I first heard about it I thought 'It'll be just some B movie fan film', but then I found out both Corey Feldman and Corey Haim are in it, plus the other actor that played the other Frog brother (can't remember his name) in the original film. On that basis I believed this could do justice as a sequel to the cult classic.

How wrong could I be! First up, Corey Haim and 'the other Frog brother' are both credited at the end of the film, but I don't recall seeing either of them in the film, in fact Edgar Frog (Feldman) mentions that his brother has died! And second, they tried to capture the humour of the original film and simply failed.

This film is more of a homage then a sequel, it follows the original story with only minor adjustments, eg. this time it's a brother and sister rather then 2 brothers, and this time it's the girl that gets seduced rather than the fella.

Another point - you would have thought that after 20 years since the first film the effects would be spectacular, but they're not, they could've been lifted from the original, which shows they're budget must have been tight.

Overall this film is very average, should've been a lot better, but then I've seen worse. I rate this a 5, it's watchable and no were near as poor as 'prom night' or 'doomsday'

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.
