The Lost Boys: The Thirst

I've always been a fan of vampire movies - I watch every one I can find, be they good or bad, and this one certainly ranks in the bad. The first Lost Boys was a cult classic and while the second didn't exactly rank with the first, it wasn't terrible. This one however, cannot compare at all. It's so bad it's funny. I can't recall a moment throughout this film where I was not laughing at the horrible acting. If the acting had been good, and the plot line better delivered, it might have succeeded. But the acting was so awful I don't think it's possible to redeem itself. Edgar Frog seemed to not be able to go a minute without making some grunting noise.

Here's the summary to the movie found on IMDB:

In San Cazador, California, the clumsy vampire hunter Edgar Frog is evicted from his trailer. But the best-seller writer Gwen Lieber offers him a job to destroy the head vampire DJ X that promotes worldwide raves to increase his army of undead. Gwen tells that her brother Peter disappeared in Ibiza two years ago in an X-Party promoted by the alpha-vampire. Now DJ X is coming to San Cazador to promote a sacrifice during a party in the blood moon on the next Friday, and Edgar discovers that the rave will take place in a slaughterhouse in an island. Gwen hires also the Hollywood participant of reality show Lars von Goetz that comes with the cameraman Claus. Edgar invites his brother Alan to join the team but he declines, and he teams up with his friend Zoe. When the group finds DJ X, Edgar discloses a secret about the head-vampire.

The few good points were the facts that they kept the voice alteration--and they showed a few flashbacks from the first movie. They actually went into detail with what happened to Sam Emerson and Edgar's brother, and you even get to see Edgar's brother in the movie. The gore was good though. It wasn't phony blood or anything - it looked legit, which I was proud of. And of course the hot vampire bad guy was a plus.

What really disappointed me was the fact that they didn't keep the faces. You know what I'm talking about, when Kiefer Sutherland vamps out he gets that grody vampire face that actually makes him scary. These vampires just had sharp teeth and black gums. A real disappointment.

Overall: don't see this movie.
