The Times

"One of the most anaemic vampire flicks ever made."

"Crass, obvious."

"Doesn't seem to care at all about developing a narrative drive."

—

Chicago Tribune

"The Lost Boys, in its artless way, asks us to consider that being for ever young isn’t a sweet Edwardian evocation of innocence, but a vision of pure hell, like vampirism"
