Lost Boys - The Thirst

[James Stacey]

OK so I love the first one and can probably recite it word for word. I managed to get about 10 mins into the second one before turning it off it was so shite. So onto the third. This one focuses on the Frogs. Edgar (Feldman) taking the role of main protagonist and Alan (Newlander)in an extended cameo role, which in all fairness is probably equal to his role in the first. The plot is slightly silly but does the job. There is lots of piss-taking of the whole paranormal romance genre and emos which is a tick in the box for me (whereas 2 seemed to revel in it) The effects work ok and don't feel too low budget and there are some nice shots. Where the film falls down unfortunately is the acting which is pretty dire. We are talking sub Babylon 5 level. Some of the direction and dialogue don't help mind you. Having said that I found it fairly enjoyable. Some nice nods to the first film and some great one liners almost delivered convincingly by Feldman.
