The Lost Boys: The Thirst (2010)

If you were never a fan of the original The Lost Boys, then you either weren't a fan of 80's movies or horror movies in general. I do have to say that I thought this movie had it's downfalls and it all rests on Corey Feldman's (Stand By Me) shoulders. His acting at times was absolutely horrendous and then there were times that he was spot on. Edgar's brother Alan (Jamison Newlander) is now a vampire and Edgar is about to lose his trailer to the bank. He's got no future and no money, so what is a vampire hunter to do? Well, he gets hired by a vampire novelist (Taint Phoenix) (they make her out to be the author of a twilight type series because Feldman makes a reference to it sucking) to find her brother, whose been kidnapped and he may have been kidnapped by the alpha vampire. The alpha vampire is the grand daddy of them all, the original, the one who started it all and Edgar has a chance to kill him. There's some obstacles that stand in his way like rustiness and no weapons, but soon all of that is taken care of and he is on his way with help from a comic book store clerk named Zoe (Casey B. Dolan) and reality TV joke. The movie contains some flashback scenes from the original Lost Boys movie because it is brought to our attention that Corey Haim's character Sam Emerson is apparently dead and is reason Edgar hasn't worked in a while. The movie like I said is okay and when you see the ending, they almost hint that there may be another sequel. I give the movie a C.
