Показать описание
The Lost Boys is a 1987 American supernatural dark comedy horror film directed by Joel Schumacher, produced by Harvey Bernhard with a screenplay written by Jeffrey Boam, Janice Fischer and James Jeremias, from a story by Fischer and Jeremias. The film's ensemble cast includes Corey Haim, Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Jami Gertz, Corey Feldman, Dianne Wiest, Edward Herrmann, Billy Wirth, Brooke McCarter, Alex Winter, Jamison Newlander, and Barnard Hughes.

Michael Emerson and his younger brother, Sam move with their recently divorced mother Lucy to the fictional small beach town of Santa Carla, California, to live with her eccentric father, Michael and Sam's grandfather.

Michael and Sam hang out at the boardwalk, which is plastered with flyers of missing people. Lucy gets a job at a video store owned by bachelor Max Lawrence. Michael becomes fascinated by Star, a beautiful young girl he spots on the boardwalk, though she seems to be with the mysterious David, the leader of a youth biker gang.

In the local comic book store, Sam meets brothers Edgar and Alan Frog, a pair of self-proclaimed vampire hunters. They give Sam horror comics to teach him about the threat they claim has infiltrated the town.

Michael finally talks to Star. David approaches and goads him into following them by motorcycle along the beach. They reach a dangerous cliff that Michael nearly drives over. At the gang's hangout, an abandoned luxury hotel sunken beneath the cliff by the 1906 earthquake, David initiates Michael into the group. Star warns Michael not to drink from an offered bottle, warning it is blood, but he ignores her advice. Later on, David and the others, including Michael, head to a railroad bridge where they hang off the bottom from the trestles over a foggy gorge; one by one they fall, Michael falling after them.

Michael wakes up at home the next day, unaware of how he got there. His eyes are sensitive to sunlight and he develops a sudden thirst for blood, which leads him to impulsively attack Sam. Sam's dog, Nanook, retaliates. Sam realizes that Michael is turning into a vampire, verified by his brother's semi-transparent reflection. Sam is initially terrified, but Michael convinces him that he is not yet a vampire and desperately needs his help.

Michael begins developing supernatural powers and asks Star for help; they have sex shortly after. Sam deduces that, as Michael has not killed anyone, he is a half-vampire and his condition is reversible upon the head vampire's death. Sam and the Frog brothers test whether Max is the head vampire during a date with Lucy, but he passes every test, and they instead focus on David.

To provoke him into killing, David takes Michael to stalk a group of beach goers and instigates a feeding frenzy. Horrified, he escapes and returns home to Sam. Star then arrives and reveals herself as a half-vampire who wants to be cured. It emerges that David had intended for Michael to be Star's first kill, sealing her fate as a vampire.

The next day, a weakening Michael leads Sam and the Frog brothers to the gang's lair. They impale one vampire, Marko, with a stake, awakening David and the two others, but the boys escape, rescuing Star and Laddie, a half-vampire child and Star's companion.

That evening, while Lucy is out with Max and Grandpa is on a date with a widow, the teens arm themselves with holy-water-filled water guns, a longbow and wood stakes; barricading themselves in the house. When night falls, David's gang attack the house. The Frog brothers and Nanook kill Paul by pushing him into a bathtub filled with garlic and holy water, dissolving him. Sam is attacked by Dwayne, another vampire, before he shoots an arrow through his heart and into the stereo behind him, electrocuting him.

Michael is then attacked by David, forcing him to use his vampire powers. He manages to overpower David and impales him on a set of antlers. However, Michael, Star and Laddie do not transform back to normal as they had hoped. Lucy then returns home with Max, who is revealed to be the head vampire. He explains that inviting a vampire into one's house renders one powerless over said vampire, leaving them unable to exploit any weaknesses the vampire has while there, explaining why their earlier assumption appeared to be incorrect. Max reveals he had instructed David to turn Sam and Michael into vampires so that Lucy could not refuse to be transformed herself, as his objective had been to make Lucy mother for his lost boys.

As Max pulls Lucy to him, preparing to transform her, he is killed when Grandpa crashes his truck through the wall of the house, impaling Max on a wooden fence post, causing him to explode. Michael, Star and Laddie then return to normal. Amongst the carnage and debris, Grandpa casually retrieves a drink from the refrigerator and declares: "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach: all the damn vampires."

Beautiful scene. I remember the first time I saw it. I thought it was about to be a typical bully lets race scene. But went he tells Michael "You don't have to beat me, you just have to keep up." I realised it was something more. From a rivalry to an invitation. So epic.

I think it's interesting that as much as Star hates being what she is, and fears the day she'll kill someone, she still manages find joyful moments regardless. Like wild motorcycle racing, or...if I had to guess... even being able to fly.

I always wondered as a kid how far that Hudson’s Bluff (Rancho Palos Verdes) was. Then I got older and realized it’s actually 300+ miles away from that boardwalk. Ahhh movie magic 😂😂😂🤣🤣

Star acts so innocent. It's a joke.
She knew what she was doing.

If Star had never said "This is Michael" we probably wouldn't have heard "Michael" said nearly as much throughout this whole film lol

Does anyone else find the way that David slides his bike before going down the stair a bit satisfying?
