The Lost Boys: The Thirst

Working my way through what's left in the On Demand section of netflix for Vampire movies.

Tonight's movie was the second sequel to The Lost Boys- Lost Boys: The Thirst. Despite this, I'm still going to try and see the first one.

Corey Feldman is Edgar Frog again, reprising the character he created in 1987. Not having seen LB2, so I have no idea what he's like in that... but in LB The Thirst, Feldman is just kind of sad. He's like the guy who peaked in high school and never did anything else and kept reliving past glories while being kind of a burn out.

The bad guy's a ... rave DJ. Goes by the name of DJ X.

Really.

He uses his raves to comvert kids in to vampires by slipping them ampules of tainted blood as party drugs. Which would have been kind of a cool idea if I hadn't seen Vampires: Out for Blood.

The movie does get the opportunity to skewer both Stephanie Meyer and Laurel K. Hamilton, so on that note it worked for me.
