Lost Boys: The Tribe held a decent amount of potential for me, as someone that doesn't hold any strong feelings towards the original Lost Boys at all. I went into this film with no strings attached not having to brace my self for the worst. After all was said and done i left the film feeling moderately satisfied, with the thought that over-all the film felt inconsequential. The film looks decent enough on it's obviously low budget, but in a time of low budget horror classics like What We Do In the Shadow, there's no reason why it shouldn't.The biggest problem with the film is that, at It's core it has a poorly conceived script. There's absolutely nothing original in this film, everything you think is going to happen, happens! There's zero tension, and most of the gore/kills are generic to say in the least. The acting Is about standard for this type of film, Corey Feldman does a decent job of reviving his character Edgar Frog from the first film. Tad Hilgenbrink and Autumn Reeser do the best they can with a very limited script as brother and sister Chris and Nicole. Angus Sutherland plays the new bad boy lead vampire Shane. He's un-engaging and lacks any and all the charisma his half brother Kiefer Sutherland had in the original.It has been over twenty years since the original. The fact that this is the best the screenwriters could conjure up is very poor on their part. At best for a non fan of the original, it was an average, generic ninety minute vampire flick, that left me feeling unmoved. Whilst i found the film passable, i can understand why fans of the original are Incredibly disappointed with it.

Lost Boys 2: The Tribe is a fun movie to watch when you have some time to kill (pun intended). As mentioned in the title here Shane Powers is a great villain (every bit as charismatic as any bad guy in Lost Boys. Corey Feldman is also good in this turn as Edgar Frog (tho his part is a smaller one). I will agree that I did not find the other lead characters as interesting (Chris Emerson), but Nicole scored the best dialogue w/ the "vegetarian" line. Yes, the climax left me wanting more, but I enjoyed the movie from start to finish. If only they did a better job of explaining Shane's background and some other topics. Oh well. I think The Tribe gets a bad rap. Still pretty good in my opinion. One thumb up (not 2 tho).

okay here we go if your a fan of the first film you've got to watch this one just to say you watched it, now this film is definitely more of an homage than a sequel, it has the two siblings moving to Santa Carla Nicole and Cris Emerson who slightly resembles Jason Patric well at least his eye color does. We see the scenes of the town and the weird people and the sax player who's gained 90 pounds and downgraded to playing on the sidewalk, their aunt whines and preaches at them in the perfect imitation of Dianne Wiest and rents them a dump shack no one wants to do renovations on this place so Cris decides they should go out instead. Nicole meets a cute guy (ugh the lines on this scene make me cringe) who looks exactly like Corey Feldman and Cris goes looking for Edgar Frog and later meets Shane who looks like a grunged out Kiefer Sutherland just like that no animosity no character at allso they they go to a house party where Nicole meets David #2 and drinks his blood out of a flask and Cris hooks up with a Jamie Gertz wannabe with a weakness for surfers. Thats another thing the lost boys are supposed to be lost, outsiders, a biker gang of rebels not surfers, race car drivers, and skaters. Might as well have them be surfers, ice skaters, and golfers. so Nicole is all infested and tries to kill Cris when they get home after a silly fight and Edgar Frog hits her with a surfboard the surf groupie follows Cris home and tries to kill him and ends up being impaled on the antlers Nicole and Cris just happened to find earlier without the help of a taxidermist grandpa, groundbreaking!!! Cris tries to get help from Edgar and this is where we really need Alan Frog to come in and be be sidekick so Nicole finds her way to the vampire pad wearing Shanes leather jacket the place looks like an alice in chains rehearsal dump more than a vampire cave complete with a skating ramp love seat and plasma TV to play xbox, the lost boys are supposed to live like bums in a vampire cave thats why they're lost! Also these vampires really suck they're cutting each other up and making this awful screaming like a bunch of jerks always videotaping everything they probably post it all on facebook. Anyway Shane and Nicole precede to make love in a perfect replay of-though not nearly as hot as the Jason and Jamie lovemaking scenes again it needed some cloud scenes for it to work!so Cris finds Nicole and they go do some skateboarding and racing at the police station and later Cris does some blood shots out of the flask when he gets home he has to answer to his aunt and remove his shades just like in the first film wow! Oh and Nicole is only 17... score!!! So later Cris is at a little beach hangout with these douche-bags who then drink the blood of a bunch of bikini clad girls and film the whole thing Cris impales one and the two left are about to get him when Edgar shows up and they disappear Shane tries to get Nicole to kill the Corey Feldman lookalike and she refuses. Edgar and Cris then break into the alice in chains hangout to kill everyone this is when it gets good everyone! lol they kill theother two and including Shane but the death scenes are actually good when Nicole and Cris are back to normal and Edgar drops them off with Edgar JR in the back of the truck Nicole takes off her six inch spike stiletto heels and they sit down to enjoy a good beer and the aunt yells at them in a very grandpa kind of way "if i see one seed or catch one whiff of reefer I'm calling the cops" I'm about to start crying at this point when after the end credits we finally see Sam Emerson gone vampire where the f was he all through the film?! Maybe this movie would've been better if they'd had Star and Laddie the little boy a complete different vampire cast and lots of glitter in the blood.

The 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.
