Dear director P.J. Pesce and screenwriter Hans Rodionoff, please never cross my path in life. And please do a Spitzer.

Lost Boys: The Tribe (formerly Lost Boys 2: The Tribe) will (and should definitely) go straight to DVD in July. Buy a copy, attach it to a skateboard and run over it with your grandfather’s Jeep. Or don’t. Rent Hackers instead and imagine that all of the teen characters have fangs.

Discuss: Why did it take 21 years to make this pile?

    Wow. Burned Much?

    Also, im outside the US, cant watch it :(
  • Rezzo
    Honestly, what were you expecting from this? It was pretty obvious that it would be bad.

    For anyone whom doesn't want to on the mtv.com or is out of the states... http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=7892

    The instant sequel reflex hadn't fully presented 21 years ago. Nowadays the sequels are generally planned before the first film comes out. Every movie must be pitched as a potential trilogy these days. To wring as much cash as possible out of an uncritical viewing public.
  • gah
    Rezzo is right. What do you expect? I can't believe how much this was hyped. Bottom line Corey, this ain't going theatrical.
  • C
    yeah, that looks pretty awful.
  • colecovision
    Doesnt even look good enough for SciFi channel...
  • I'm still going to watch.

    I can't help myself.
  • I think it looks like fun.
    And i also believe that Hunter takes things a little to personal.
    I think he/you has/have a "this sucks, that sucks, everything sucks"-kind of approach. Let's wait and see, perhaps it will be good or even great, perhaps not. I'm just glad it's being made since i really enjoy Lost Boys 1.
  • estrus
    It looks like it has about as much soul as a the bloodsuckers. 'Course I'll Netflix it, but that's it.

    There Will Be A DVD Release

    @ Markus

    Are you kidding me? Look at that trailer.
  • Larry Leonardo
    Hunter is an opinionated asshole who thinks he has the best taste in movies. When in fact he is just a pretentious cynic who gives nothing a fair chance and will always judge a book by it's cover.

    He may be right about this movie, but as i've seen previous posts of his, he just doesn't like Hollywood hogwash, which is the industry he is in... Maybe he should consider a new life choice.
  • Brian
    This looks like a bad episode of "Charmed"
  • Brian
    "I think it looks like fun."

    NO
  • Sauce
    Aww leave Hunter alone...This is a pile. If nothing else it'll be like a less attractive Buffy episode with the camp ramped up to 11.
  • I feel bad that a hot actress like Autumn Reeser had to kill her future career by being in this movie, but did anyone else laugh at how serious Corey was when he was describeing it? I respected him back in the day, mainly because he did the voice of my favorite ninja turtle, but now I think he deserves the Oscar for most douche-bag actor.
  • Robert
    Aww, Hunter must have poo-pooed somebody's favorite movie. Don't worry Buddy, there'll be plenty more hogwash.
  • The original was classic and this LOOKS to be a copy of a bad Buffy episode. The vamp look is to close to the buffy, angel etc. style.
    This could have been an instant classic but LOOKS to have fallen far from any hope of true vampiness......
  • AngryPony
    I'm gonna go on record and say this looks pretty much on-par with the first one (except the difference being that the first one is hilariously over-rated and this one wiill probably be seen for the vomitorium that it truly is).
  • Matthew
    really, hunter, really? i think it looks a lot better than what i had anticipated. i mean, come on....if corey feldman is the biggest name in a movie, its pretty obvious said movie is going to be AT BEST a B-movie. Taking that into consideration, i don't think this movie looks that bad.
  • No sir, i am not kidding.

    Thank you Matthew.
    I think it's gonna be a 5.5(perhaps 6)/10-kind of movie.
  • Brian Spence
    Em, I'm not sure what your problem is Hunter - Any prospective sequel to The Lost Boys was an extremely bad idea (the concept hardly lends itself to another film, does it?), and this looks just about as good as it ever could be - at least from a director whose crowning achievement is Dusk Til Dawn 3.

    What did you expect in the trailer that's different/missing/not 100% expected??
  • they've ruined it, they've completely ruined it.
  • dan
    Was a vampire skateboarding?
  • Jimbo Stewart
    Hunter, I'm sorry I called you a communist. Clearly, you knowing that this movie will be garbage indicts you've got decent taste. I wish I could say I'm shocked, but the original Lost Boys ain't that great. Near Dark is much better.

    Whatever. Corey should do another Friday the 13th.

    I will never watch the Tribe. Ever.
  • I completely agree with Hunter, this does look pretty sheeshy. Who would have doubted that it wouldn't have been?

    The best they could come up with would be a mishmash of thirty-something-year olds running around in skeleton out-fits and skateboards all the while banging chicks way to fine to be hanging out with them. Sad.

    That vampire hunter, I didn't catch his name, looks more stoned that my pet rock named Skittles.

    I hope it gets as much attention as Paris Hilton's last movie did. What? You haven't heard of it? My point exactly.
  • pat
    seriously... it's only a trailer. Get over it. I've seen plenty of fun/good/decent movies with horrible trailers and plenty of horrible movies with awesome trailers...

    *picks up a book* "Hmmm this book's cover looks bad... so by extension the whole book must be bad!"
  • Robert
    "Corey should do another Friday the 13th."

    He just has to wait until the ramake of #5. Or was it # 4, I forget. LOL!

    Brian Spence has a really good point about the first not being exactly left open for the sequel treatment. I'd almost consider watching this just to see what kind of baffling, hair-brained explanation they offer up. He wasn't the actually head head vampire?
  • Brian
    Pat - are you Corey Feldman?

    This is not comparable to a book cover, especially since it shows all the horrible special effects, acting, and dialogue that the movie will feature. If anything, this movie will make a good comedy during a pre-drink.

    If anyone honestly thought or still thinks this movie would be something more than this, you're dead to me.
  • Mikey M
    Looks like they are trying to be Hip like Supernatural or Buffy.
    Too bad they weren't sucessful.
  • jeebus, its a green movie! they managed to recycle the first movie and even lift some of the first movie's lines. Feldman's DESPARATE for a paycheck, and he's schillin' this movie hard. What a stinkfest!!

    Until Hollywood gets their heads out of their arses... this kind of smut will taint our films. The best thing to do is not even watch it. What we need are our overpriced, recently off strike, Hollywood writers to actually do their job and be original... write some novel and new. Stop leeching to another's success.
  • Maybe Hunter is a lost boy.
  • A
    Oh Hunter, you slay me! "Pull a Spitzer!" how socially relevant you are!! Do you have writers for you? Do you write for the New Yorker?

    Better yet, do you write for What Would Tyler Durden Do? Because your quips are awfully similar. But nonetheless genius, my boy. Right-o!

    Oh, maybe you should pull a Spitzer yourself.

    It does seem that Hunter tries hard to imitate WWTDD's style. Except for the whole being funny part. Besides, I don't come here for that. That's the problem, Hunter! People visit /film for news and insider information on movies. Not throwaway quips that could be heard at any coffee shop by the really really smart guy who isn't afraid of reminding everyone that he's really really smart. I don't mind Hunter as a writer when he gives the info and moves on. It's when the jokes start that gets a little awkward.

    Peter, are you reading this? Or has it been deleted already?
  • C
    I don't mean anything bad towards Hunter. I really don't. It's just not the style this longtime /film reader wants to see the site adopt.
  • Meli
    My brother and I will see this movie for nostalgia
    reasons, however we are both prepared for it to be bad,
    but we're hoping it's fun to laugh at bad. And will
    probably have a couple of drinks before/during
    the viewing.

    No one can recreate the past greatness of the
    first Lost Boys! The head vamp won't have
    the meancing presence of Kiefer and none of those
    girls are even close to the hotness of Jamie Gertz.
  • Russell
    I can't see how anyone could have liked the first one, much less a sequel.

    And I now know why Michael Jackson was so into hanging out with Corey Feldman, he was trying to learn his secret for not ageing.
  • Why Am I Commenting On This
  • meg
    Hunter is dead on. I hate how butthurt some fanboys get when they don't get what they want or someone tries rain on their DTV sci-fi parade.
  • Meli
    I haven't been reading /film very long, but I have to say
    I don't quite understand all the Hunter hate. I might not
    agree with his opinion sometimes and I sometimes think
    he takes things a little too seriously, but he's a good writer.
    He also has a right to express his opinion, after all that
    is his purpose for writing on this site.
    The fact is a lot of us are super opinionated,
    How many of you have ever REALLY read some of the comments
    that follow?? If you disagree with him, cool, but some of
    the name calling is seriously childish. Learn to debate
    a little bit people! It's healthy.
  • Robert
    @Meli

    He may not have been pro-Transformers enough for some or something. Who knows? Maybe he kinda liked Spiderman 3?

    @Hunter

    F these people. If they don't like it they can start their own damn movie blogs.
  • Hana
    Sigh. Why couldn't they have made this not blow?
  • Well it looks like they f*cked that up eh.............
  • Ed
    Like the original "Lost Boys" this movie should not and will never amount to anything more than a "B" movie. You folks shouldn't drill it so hard...it sucks, the production team knows it sucks, the actors probably think it sucks, but hell its part 2 of a cult classic and at least it has some continuity. Not sure how wine could taste like blood...but hey, the script sucks too! I'll probably rent it a year or two after it makes it to DVD. Might go good with a 12-er of Pabst and a rare tenderloin.
  • Ghost
    As soon as I saw and heard the vamps I was like this blows. Still one can't want to see the Frog Bros and the other Corey in it to see how horribly not campy this can be.
