Lost Boys [4K Ultra HD]

Product Information

The Lost Boys' is actually a lot less interesting than it sounds. Directed by Joel Schumacher and shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Michael Chapman, the film has a wonderfully glossy and rich visual look, but not much more going for it. The story of a teenager drawn to the dark side of vampirism had the potential to explore adolescent issues rarely touched by mainstream horror cinema, yet these facets are largely jettisoned by the obvious script that plays it too safe. Any subversive possibilities are largely tossed aside in favor of standard genre thrills and overt humor, which, while making the film entertaining, ultimately render it vapid. This native 2160 4K scan of the 35mm camera negative is, in a word: sumptuous. Lost Boys is one of those movies, set at night, full of rim lighting and deep bold colours that could show poor transfer like a set of dog’s balls. I’m happy to report that Warner’s have delivered this film as close to reference as they ever have. The copious night scenes are rich and inky, displaying detail probably never seen since the theatres, showing no signs of crush or light bleed. The elaborate costumes of the vampires truly leap of the screen and show a detail and appreciation for the wardrobe department that defies belief. The 80s came replete with a lot of neon and pastel, beautifully rendered here and aided spectacularly by the HDR10 enhancements. The finale holds a set filled with a lot of red—a monochromatic nightmare for subtlety—but all the different shades are replicated perfectly. Absolutely the best this film has ever looked on home media. Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire. Sam and his older brother Michael are all-American teens with all-American interests. But after they move with their mother to peaceful Santa Carla, California, things mysteriously begin to change. Michael's not himself lately, and Mom's not going to like what he's turning into. There are no options to watch The Lost Boys for free online today in Australia.

Sam falls into the Boardwalk comic book crowd with the wonderfully earnest Frog Brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander). Meanwhile, Michael falls under the spell first of the beautiful Star (Jami Gertz) and then the uber-charismatic David (Kiefer Sutherland), camply supported by his fantastically hirsute band of teen runaways. Who just so happen to be vampires…The Lost Scenes– Fifteen minutes of deleted scenes are included, though with no commentary or context – they’re a bit disjointed.
