Im a big fan of the original and I really just treat these new films as separate fan films rather than proper sequels and if you do that you can forgive them for some of the cheese that you'll see. Like the other guy said not sure about the ending or where they are going with it but i know Corey hasn't had the best time of it over the years and if it will help him to regain some of his former glory and get him back on his feet again I'm all for it, everyone deserves a second chance.

If you like the original film and have watched the "tribe" then don't stop now you may as well give this one a go but don't expect anything other than a fan film.

The cash grab that was The Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008) was never likely to set the world on fire but managed to deliver a watchable if a tad contrived bit of entertainment.

The Thirst follows on from the previous movie but this time Edgar Frog is our lead and we get the see the reuniting of the Frog Brothers for the first time since the original movie back in 1987.

This time our hero is recruited to save a woman's brother from the clutches of the vampire alpha who is peddling vamp blood as a new designer drug.

Much alike the previous film you'll find no surprises as this is justifiably straight to DVD stuff but it's a harmless enough vampire fix.

There was supposed to be a fourth movie featuring Corey Haim but after his passing in 2010 it brought into question its likelihood. Were now almost 8yrs later with no sign so this is likely Mr Frogs final outing.

The Good:

Corey Feldman

Great soundtrack

The Bad:

Hardly mind blowing stuff

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

They absolutely have to fit Cry Little Sister into these films wherever possible

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.

In an interview after The Tribe Feldman said he had taken the criticism on board, and as producer he would address all of it. well, it seems he actually DID. Don't get me wrong, this is still a low budget badly acted DVD movie, but this time they've done a lot of stuff right. It is much better than The Tribe, but it does have some vital ingredients missing causing it to end up being similar in style to John carpenters vampires.

Many people will be pleased to know that there's no "XTREAM" "with it" "youtube generation" surfing vampires. The vampires here are properly updated for today, but unfortunately you don't get to see much of them, even in THE TRIBE we had a chance to meet some of the gang and they came across as mildly threatening, in this movie they pretty much keep to themselves.

Most of the plot revolves around Edgar Frog, his warped childlike obsession with vampire hunting, it occasionally brushes up on the emotional losses of Edgar's friends and there is also a bit of time used to unravel the twisted mess The Tribe left the series in. While the storyline has much more substance than the predecessor it still leaves a lot to be desired, many of the new additions are under written and could have been flesh out a bit more. They did at least try this time, there's a plot twist, which, due to casting was a bit disappointing and one which you can see coming as soon as we're given the pieces to put it together, I was happy to take any kind of plot twist over what the tribe gave us.

The highlight is Jamieson Newlander's extended Cameo as Alan frog, he has a small part but manages to steal the show and left me wanting much more. Don't expect this movie to be the reunion of the frog brothers; they don't go raiding the vampires den together or anything, all Newlander gets is three present day scenes, one newly filmed flashback and some flashbacks to the original movie.

Feldman seems to have slightly toned down his over the top performance, he still hams it up as Edgar, but this time the whole cast seem to be having fun, something lacking from The Tribe. Missing from both the lost boys sequels is any younger kids or teens, In the original movie the kids were written for comic relief, acting like brave men, being the accidental heroes and brave in the face of danger, here because there's no kids, a lot of the comedy is missing. It seems Lost kids don't become vampires anymore.

The movie manages to not take itself too seriously and does get a very small glimmer of an 80's campy movie feel in a few places, though not enough to compare with anything from the original. If you have sat through other Straight to DVD action / Horror movies, you pretty much know what to expect with the acting and pacing (or rather lack of).

To sum things up, The Thirst genuinely attempted to be a follow up rather than a low budget retelling, it's nothing spectacular but it's worth at least one watch.

Did I watch the same movie as everyone else? My expectations for this movie were not high, but it was worse than I had anticipated. It was really hard to sit through the entire thing. I'm sorry but Corey Feldman is not a good actor and should not be tasked with carrying an entire movie. He growls nearly every line he delivers. I truly love the original, and don't think I could have been more disappointed with its sequel. Then again I have yet to watch the 2nd.

I am nowhere near an expert movie reviewer, but felt compelled to register on this site to warn anyone thinking of watching this movie. If you are curious about it, do yourself a favor and get it from Redbox or Netflix. Do not spend more than .99 on it.

If you go into this movie expecting something that directly compares to the original then you will be disappointed. It's not The Lost Boys as you remember and if you are looking for something comparable to the original in terms of story, atmosphere or style then you're unlikely to find what you're looking for in this film.

What we have instead is something that feels more like a spin-off rather than a direct sequel. Following the now grown up vampire hunter Edgar Frog (who you may remember from the first film as the young head band wearing vampire expert and comic store dweller that befriended and aided Sam and his family in the original Lost Boys) the film takes on a tone and style to match the lead character's somewhat over dramatic personality rather than attempting to directly imitate that of the original. It's cheesy, the acting is oh-so hammy and more often than not so over the top you're really not sure if it's intentional or not, but it fits the character of Edgar Frog and is about what I would have expected from a film with a comedic supporting character promoted to the lead.

Feldman plays the character of Edgar Frog as a more exaggerated version of the character we met in the original film, complete with a comical gruff voice and over-the-top tough guy persona - it's silly, but it fits and the scripting often plays to the inept hero quality of the character. The vamps are back and retain the characteristics and appearance of those in the original, but they lack the character, personality and depth of Sutherlands gang and instead simply serve as somewhat two dimensional bad guys - perhaps one of the biggest failings and disappointments of the film. The supporting characters are likewise cheesy and ham up their roles accordingly, some of the acting is downright terrible (Tanit Phoenix), but it's passable and even borders on amusingly bad at times.

On the whole, it's not a bad film (or perhaps it is.. but in the right way) nevertheless, it's bound to leave a bad taste in the mouth of anyone hoping for or expecting more of the original. As a sequel it's pretty poor, as a spin off it's really not too bad.

I just got finished watching my new blu-ray copy of "Lost Boys : The Thirst" and I must admit I was very surprised at how well done it was. I've heard a few criticisms regarding the acting etc, and I can't imagine what they were referring to. Corey Feldman was very good (It's about time he got another American lead role. He was excellent in Lucky Fritz and The Birthday) and all the main characters played their parts well. The women were even age appropriate and had character, which is very rare in a horror movie these days. It didn't even feel like a low budget movie (smart scripts can fix that) unless you compare the cast of the Original which is always unfair. It must be judged for what it is, a high energy, funny, gory and entertaining movie! Well worth a watch...or 2 or 3 maybe.

Now Feldman can use his DVD star power to executive produce Meatballs 5 and Rock'n Roll Highschool Forever and Ever and Ever!...Or just keep making good movies.

I love The Lost Boys. It's without a doubt one of my favorite films of all time. A couple years ago, I saw that a sequel had been made, Lost Boys: The Tribe. I knew before I even hit the play button that this wasn't going to measure up to my beloved 1987 classic. That state of mind allowed me to watch The Tribe and not be too critical of it. Was it a worthy follow-up to its predecessor? No. Of course not. But I didn't expect it to be. Although flawed on nearly every level, I did find some redeeming qualities in the film. Now, two years later, yet another sequel has been made, Lost Boys: The Thirst. I watched it with that same mindset I had for The Tribe and , I'm sad to say, I was still very disappointed.

Lost Boys: The Thirst takes two of the most recognizable and cherished figures from the original and tries to turn them into the main characters. An idea that doomed the film from the beginning. Don't get me wrong. I love the Frog Brothers. I think they're two of the greatest supporting characters in movie history. Emphasis on SUPPORTING Characters. Neither Corey Feldman nor Jamison Newlander have the charisma to be leading men. Feldman's uber-macho voice was funny in 1987 when he was a preteen vampire killer. But now that he's grown, it seems so forced that it borders on pathetic. And Newlander's acting is so bad that I didn't even complain that he's barely in the movie.

Lost Boys: The Thirst gets some brownie points for trying to be original and not copy the first film too much, which is what The Tribe attempted to do. As a matter of fact, this movie does too good a job establishing itself as a stand-alone film. To the point where it doesn't even feel like it belongs in the Lost Boys series. Sure, there are references to old characters and even footage taken directly from the 1987 original, but to be honest, seeing that just made me want to watch the first movie again.

All in all, The Thirst is a big disappointment. Even if your expectations are already low.

Had the pleasure of watching this in the private screening at San Diego ComiCon 2010... just awesome, perfect. Exactly what Part 2 should have been. Obviously there is decidedly a lot more Corey Feldman content... but I don't think people are prepared for how much heart this movie has. There are several flashbacks that feature Corey Haim that are really heartbreaking in light of what you and I know in reality.

A little undecided about the ending, and what "future direction" that portends, but things are suitably bookended thus far for the existing trilogy.

Good times.

'LOST BOYS: THE THIRST': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

Corey Feldman takes the lead for the first time in a 'LOST BOYS' film returning once again as Edgar Frog. Jamison Newlander reprises his role of Alan Frog for the first time in this third installment. It's not the 'Frog Brothers' reunion fans were hoping for though as Newlander's scenes are extremely limited. It is nice to see them back together in action again, for what little time they are on screen together though and that's the highlight of the movie. As far as the rest of the film goes it's definitely disappointing. I prefer the second film to this one, although it's not much better.

The film opens with a flashback of Alan Frog being turned into a vampire. If you saw the second film you know this, as well as the fact that Sam (the late Corey Haim) was turned as well and Edgar was forced to kill him. Edgar is now haunted by these painful losses as we see through several flashbacks, using clips from the classic original. He's also broke and being evicted from his trailer. So when a beautiful woman ( the gorgeous Tanit Phoenix) shows up at his door offering him a job to rescue her brother from a gang of ruthless vampires he eagerly takes it. He recruits the help of a comic book clerk (Casey B. Dolan) and reluctantly teams up with a reality TV star and his cameraman (Joe Vaz) and the group raids the vampires' den where they attempt to convert a rave party full of unsuspecting victims into vampires.

The movie is about what you'd expect from a direct to video sequel. The acting, dialog, and over all production values are a little weak. I'm a huge fan of the original film and I think it's still popular enough, and developed a big enough cult following, that they could have made a decent theatrical sequel. So it's extremely disappointing for me to see one sequel after another turned out (so far only two but they're could very well be more) in depreciating value. I guess you might say it's better than nothing and like I said seeing the 'Frog Brothers' reunite is pretty cool. This franchise could have been so much more though.

Sorry Corey Feldman just doesn't do it for me. He might have possibilities in other movies, but this movie certainly did not help his career. A washed up, child star gone bad. I guess if you are into the vampire craze Lost Boys: The Thirst might turn you on, but probably not. He pretty much growls through the movie. I would NOT waste your time watching this movie. I made it through about 20 minutes of the film and was NOT impressed. The current score of 5.4 is very generous for this movie. I think a score of 1, maybe 2 might be more appropriate. Save your money, don't go see this film, do NOT rent it. There are plenty of other movies to keep you entertained these day.

I'm not sure the world needed another direct-to-video Lost Boys sequel that continues the adventures of supporting characters Edgar and Alan Frog fighting the vampire scourge of SoCal. Corey Feldman returns once again as Edgar Frog, complete is his faux tough guy voice, which I think was done for comedy, but given Feldman's recent musical appearance on The Today Show, I'm not sure he's in on the joke (or maybe he's channeling Andy Kaufman). In any case, the setting has again moved and we are now in San Cazador, California, where the Frog Brothers reunite to fight a new clutch of vampires seeking to make a vampire army by staging raves across the globe. At least the first stupid sequel was slick and competent from a technical standpoint, but this one was just cheap and poorly made. "The Lost Boys" is a film that should have been left alone or have gotten a classier sequel and/or reboot. Skip this one.

First off, I don't see how anyone can think this movie is better than the Tribe. I'm probably the only person who will rank this movie as awful and the second one amazing.

First off, plot holes. I didn't quite understand the story and why they mentioned characters pretty much for no reason (Michael, Star). Continuing on, shedding light on Corey Haim's character Sam was a tear jerker but still didn't answer any questions about what happened between Sam and Edgar at the end of The Tribe (If it even continues).

The characters were completely boring and not even memorable. The girl Zoe or Zoey (I don't remember) was just annoying and way to energetic to go hunt this vampire named "DJ X" down. I will give him credit though because he played an okay vampire. The other didn't like and I couldn't recall their names. Once again, I'm more into the vampire aspect of The Lost Boys more so than the Frog Brothers. Jamison did well for Alan but I find Corey Feldman as Edgar just exhausting at this point. I honestly don't like him as a person what so ever so I had to suffer watching him most of the film.

I feel it doesn't compare at all to the first one or the second. If you read my review for the Tribe, I said how there was similarities between the two. This really focuses on the Frog Brothers more so than vampires in general. And the guy playing vampire Peter, I just have no words for him. I honestly preferred DJ over him.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha OK after the laughable appraise given to this movie I have to agree with one thing. Its good for laughs, if you're that desperate.

Is is a true sequel? no way, nfw! Its a self parody at best. Lost boys are dead and like a vampire this movie concept has risen from the dead in horrific form to scare the living daylights out of anyone whom enjoyed the first.

The whole movie is a dollar sign for the sake of making some cash. There is no real sense of menace from the original movie what so ever, its completely gone with the whole story line swirling around the plughole like a real stinker does.

Don't bother with this movie, you could die from cringing just watching it it IS that bad.

If you have seen the original Lost Boys you know it wasn't the greatest movie of all times, but it has enough spirit to make it a classic people loved and compared to. When I first heard Lost Boys would be turned into a franchise, I refused to watch the movie (The Tribe) because I was sure it would suck. Not so, though, since I have seen it recently and I believe it retained some of the spunk and the tongue in cheek approach of the original. Now, it is time for the third part, something that I was certain had no chance of being fun. I am glad to say I was wrong again. Lost Boys: The Thirst is not the greatest movie of all times, either, but it is certainly fun, especially for the people that liked the other movies in the group.

Yeah, about the ending... I thought it was more like a joke, something that people can laugh about. I doubt anyone really took it seriously, especially since most of the film itself was mostly humorous than thrilling.

People clearly enjoyed playing in the movie. Some of the dialog was really amusing like the vampire noticing Frog is awful with the sword. The return of Alan Frog was also nice, especially since Jamison Newlander played as Alan Frog for the second movie as well, but the scenes got deleted from the finished product. Frankly, this film would have been a great opportunity for Kiefer Sutherland to play a cameo. Oh, well.

Bottom line: If you have seen the original Lost Boys and liked it, you will enjoy this one, too. If you haven't, go watch it, what are you waiting for? Then watch this one :)

First off, I am an insanely huge fan of the first movie. I saw "The Tribe" and like everyone else, pretty much thought it was crap. Aside from seeing Feldman in his Frog getup, the movie was garbage. So it's safe to say that i wasn't expecting much from this.

Well, I was wrong.

The movie is good. Just like everyone else says, It's more of a spin-off then a sequel, and no one here is getting nominated for an Oscar. But, if you are a hardcore fan of the 1st one you will be entertained. Feldman is great here, and though one might think he was overacting a tad, when you see him in flashbacks you realize he really isn't overacting, he's actually playing the character the same way he did when he was a kid.

So, all in all I was very pleased. If your expecting a solid follow-up to the first one, then forget it. But if you are looking for a good Frog brothers movie full of nostalgia, then like me, you will enjoy this.

2008's The Tribe might not have been the big-budget sequel that many long-time Lost Boys fans had been hoping for, but for a DTV effort, I was pleasantly surprised: although it was essentially a reworking of the original film in a contemporary style, it was reasonably atmospheric, bloody and fun, and there were still enough tips of the hat to Joel Schumacher's cult classic to keep this particular fan happy.

Part 3 in the series, The Thirst, continues in this vein: it definitely feels like a proud product of the new millennium, with CGI trickery, graphic gore and some very sexy ladies baring their boobs for the camera, but it retains the enjoyable tongue-in cheek approach that made the first film such fun.

Corey Feldman is once again clearly having a right royal time hamming it up as gruff, gravelly voiced Edgar Frog, and his co-stars catch on quick, making the most of their intentionally over the top roles. The amusing script not only delivers the expected one liners that occasionally riff on lines from the first film, but also some wry swipes at modern pop culture with reality TV being one of the main targets, and even a touch of irony: Edgar deriding novelist Gwen Lieber (the stunning Tanit Phoenix) for making her vampires sexy, when the original The Lost Boys did precisely the same thing twenty five years earlier, is a stroke of genius!

Of course, no matter how entertaining the film, there will always be some who complain when a sequel does not stay 100% true to the spirit of the original; to those people, I suggest viewing The Tribe and The Thirst as 'spin-offs' that follow the further exploits of The Frog Brothers rather than true Lost Boys sequels—it will prove less disappointing. And remember, times have changed... the 80s are history... don't allow your longing for all things day-glo, cheesy and camp to get in the way of enjoying this admirable effort.

Take a look at all the teen vampire stuff out as of late and compare it to the original lost boys. Hands down Lost boys wins.

what they should do is remake it with a serious cast. instead of the straight to DVD crap that they have been coming out with.

I will say if they had released this and trashed the previous one. the hope for something decent would be there. This one is not entirely horrible as the other is.

I vote for a remake of the original with good cast good director. it deserves it.

They half-ass sequels all the time to good movies. will most likely see 2 to 3 more like this come out.
