A cult classic

The Lost Boys is known as rather a cult classic, and justifiably so. It might be over 30 years old now but it can still put modern day vampire films to shame.

It's undeniably 80s, but that's part of it's charm. It's atmospheric with a great soundtrack and a rather impressive cast. Vampires have been done to death over the past however many decades but The Lost Boys really brings a fun yet still fairly scary take on them - there's loads of dark humour in this and yet some pretty creepy scenes too and some twists and turns. It moves at a steady pace without ever dragging, and the final act is an aamzing spectacle- the blood, gore and outlandish deaths are both genius and wickedly funny. My only criticism would be that there are a few cliched and cringey moments, but fortunately these are few and far between and overall this is a hugely enjoyable and entertaining vampire film. Very deserving of being a cult classic.

Just like the first movie, it starts with Anna and Elsa as children. Their father tells them a story about when he was a young boy and how he became king after an attack on an enchanted forest where he lived. Fast forward to the present day and Elsa keeps hearing the same singing voice her dad heard when he was saved as a boy, this leads her to awakening the enchanted forest spirits and arandale has to be evacuated. In order to save arandale Elsa, Anna, Olaf, kristoff and Sven must go to the forest and find the voice.
Once again Disney have done it again and created a movie with an excellent storyline, lots of humour, plenty of emotion (tissues most definitely needed), amazing visuals and memorable songs such as 'into the unknown' with Idina Menzels powerful voice.
The ending I wasn't expecting, but when you think of the circumstances and listen to the lyrics of Elsas songs, it finally gave Elsa her happy ending that she so craved throughout both movies.

The cheap gag about Into the Night would be to declare it the best Belgian apocalyptic SF disaster thriller mini-series ever made, but it deserves better than that. Not entirely unlike Lost, but without the plane actually crashing: passengers and crew of a commercial jet find themselves desperately travelling west, perpetually, as the sun's rays have suddenly become lethal. Characters come into sharper focus, tensions within the group build, there are many incidental crises and problems.

It's done with a slightly broad brush and occasionally becomes a little contrived, but there are great performances from the ensemble cast and it soon becomes genuinely gripping and tense, though not without the odd moment of black humour ('I'm going to die in Scotland... with Belgians!' despairs one character in the first episode). Not sure what they're going to do if it gets a second series, but this is a fine piece of entertainment. (Right-thinking people will surely watch the original version, with subtitles if necessary: the English dubbing is not great.)
