The Lost Boys | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Kevin Maher Times (UK) That the film works so well is a testament to Schumacher’s pop sensibilities, his slick production design and an iconic soundtrack — Echo & the Bunnymen’s version of People Are Strange is a majestic way to begin a movie. Rated: 4/5 Oct 14, 2022 Full Review The Lost Boys | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Peter Bradshaw Guardian 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. Rated: 4/5 Feb 14, 2020 Full Review The Lost Boys | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Desmond Ryan Philadelphia Inquirer Schumacher falls far short of the talent for pop wit that Joe Dante showed in Gremlins and The Howling. Rated: 2/4 Jan 21, 2014 Full Review The Lost Boys | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Rebecca Johnson Film Focus Online It's witty, sharp and outright hilarious, with fantastic performances and a glossy and cool take on vampire mythology. Rated: 5/5 Jul 25, 2023 Full Review The Lost Boys | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Cody Dericks them. They may be lost, but these boys have certainly found something that brings them together. Oct 27, 2022 Full Review The Lost Boys | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid The two parts never click together, and neither by itself is very good. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
