The Lost Boys Ratings & Reviews
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 12, 2024Very cool and very 80s movie. It has that special feel to it. I like it a lot.
- Dave HeltemesFebruary 22, 2026It's a classic and we watch it often.
- StreetterOctober 19, 2025Richard Donner was the original director of this movie. Original script was supposed to be about Peter Pan & The Lost Boys being vampires that never aged. Such a great concept on a fairytale. Unfortunately Donner left production to direct Lethal Weapon. Joel Schumacher took over and needed to change the movie by a certain percentage to be listed as the director, enter the comical Frogger Brothers and name changes; Peter became David, Hook became Max. I have always wondered how much better this movie would have been if Donner got to finish this film.

- mickerdooAugust 23, 2025All the cliche 80s movie staples packed into an entertaining comedy/horror. The Corey's are iconic. Amount of spook was spot on.
- RavlorJune 28, 2025Loved this movie growing up. It has that 80s sheen to it we all love. Rewatched it a while back and it hasn't aged like a vampire. It has major flaws I never saw as a kid. But I still like it.
- SpanktacularJune 19, 2025First time seeing this in 2025 and yeah, I get it. Pretty damn good! I could see how this became a cult classic.
