I have the unpopular opinion that the original Lost Boys was overrated, I don't think it was a bad film but I don't see it as the cult classic many others do.This blatant cash grab sees Corey Feldman return as Edgar Frog as he comes to the aid of a man whose sister has been taken by vampires and turned into one of the undead horde.This didn't feel like a Lost Boys movie and has an identity of its own. Sadly that identity is distinctly average and just another vampire movie.It has its moments, the script is well above par and it clearly has a budget behind it but there is little of consequence to get excited for even if you are a fan of the original.If you like Vampires and/or Corey Feldman you can find worse things to do with 90 minutes but if you're expect more of the same as Lost Boys (1987) you'll be sorely disappointed.The Good: Tom Savini Great soundtrack Good script The Bad: Pretty average stuff Things I Learnt From This Movie: None too surprisingly the blood and saltwater experiment is fictional Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day, set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life
... View MoreThe 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.
... View MoreThis film is OK-HOWEVER it came 20 years too late!!! The first film was epic and will remain everyones favourite. They should have done this sequel about a year or so after the first and should have had all the original cast in especially SAM, Michael, grandpa, mom and Star!!! We want to know what happened to all of them!!! I really think Joel Schumacher should have directed this as well as he understood the LB properly-REALLY not a good movie. Suppose its OK if you have never seen the first one but if you have then this JUST doesn't make the grade! They really needed Corey Haim in it properly working alongside the Frog brothers. REALLY miss the original cast :((( Very sad to watch this really
... View MoreThe IMDb rating of this movie doesn't do it justice. The film was not bad. In fact, it is my opinion that the soundtrack in the original made it feel a lot better than it actually was. This being said, there is a huge gap between the seductive horror of the original Lost Boys and the slightly above boring atmosphere of The Tribe.The main problem lies in the director, I guess. He lets the main character come up as an uptight unlikeable ass, while allowing Corey Feldman to be silly, thus robbing us of any strong lead character. The girl is no better, as she is portrayed as uber sexy and she is rather bland. The vampires were a little cooler, and choosing Angus Sutherland as the head undead was a nice touch. It all fails when the fighting action starts, though.Bottom line: decent sort of a remake of Lost Boys, but lacking the brilliance of the first. A better director or just a little more effort could have done wonders for this film. It is certainly not below average, but sadly not above, either.
