The Lost Boys

Welcome back guys!
It's been a while for me- finding the time to sit down and watch films has been challenging but today i turned my attention to the lost boys.

As always I don't want to give you a plot summary because you could find that from most sites on the internet if you typed the name of the film in to Google.
I am going to start to talk more about the filming than the acting. Of course acting will be a big part of the review but i am going to be talking about location, screen shots and music as well.

The lost boys has a better than decent soundtrack. The rock and roll music of what i would call classic rock is always a pleasure to listen to and very well suited to the film and characters. The features of the music seem to fit well with the film. Songs that were obviously created whilst on drugs work well with the drug taking in the film. There are several tracks by INXS and Jimmy Barnes that keep the classic rock feel going throughout.

Trying to keep a hold of what the hell is going on whilst one of the most overrated and terrible films (Avatar) is playing in the background is extremely difficult. It seems to be about teenage gangs but i couldn't say for sure so i wont try!
This is one of the most hallucinogenicly weird LSD films that i've watched in a while.

I like the ways that it's shot. I really am not a huge fan of close ups and panoramic helicopter shots so i'm glad to say this film doesn't have many. The pov is genius, sometimes looking down from the actor and sometimes just above. Never looking down in to an endless pit,close enough to keep it real.

Just to mention- this is a film about vampires. I didn't know that when i started watching it but i managed to work it out in the end!
