Lost Boys Triple Feature (The Lost Boys / Lost Boys: The Tribe / Lost Boys: The Thirst) [Blu-ray]



Awesome movies (except for 2)
I've been meaning to get the trilogy for a while and this triple pack at the price sealed the deal for me. If you're reading this you probably know how great the original Lost Boys was. Here it is in its HD glory, although because of it being in HD some scenes I found looked very much like a 'set'. But once you get beyond that it's still a great flick.

Lost Boys: The Tribe is what you expect from a crappy direct to DVD sequel made 20 years after the original. They pretty much tried to remake the original as a sequel, this time with a new teenage couple and a new set of 'extreme' vampires. The film would have worked much better in the 90's with it's X-games vibe. Watch it if you're a fan but otherwise don't bother. The only real cool bit is the scene after the credits - I wont say more.

Lost Boys: The Thirst appears to have been an attempt at a set up for a TV series. But as a stand alone low budget flick it works well and is a huge improvement over the second...

Grrrrrrrreat!!!!
Because the movie was a Blu-ray and it had all the upgrades from the standard DVD and huge upgrades from the older VHS tapes; "The movie picture and sound was Grrrrrrrreat!!!! Their speedy service was awesome and as such, I hope to purchase more from them in the future too!

3 Lost Boys Films in 1 Collection
This 3-disc set includes The Lost Boys, The Tribe and The Thirst. If only this franchise had been filmed directly after the original but it is great to have 3 Lost Boys films in one collection. Cory Feldman is in all three films (but not Corey Haim). I prefer The Thirst over The Tribe but neither can compare to the original.
