This week, Gary and Iain are joined by Hannah to review and discuss the 1987 classic, The Lost Boys. Off The Shelf Reviews: / hunterscrow Facebook: / offtheshelfreviews
Fellow UK nutter here, you guy's are the best reviewers on UA-cam. You really spend a lot of time discussing the film instead of just brushing over a lot of the small details. Subscribed!
Without The Lost Boys there's no Buffy and there's no Scream, which means no Supernatural and none of the re-birthed slasher films from Halloween H20 on.
They should do the Lost Boys as it originally started out before the characters were changed I would like to see the movie with child actors as the vampires using the same dark, gritty, comedic tone like they did in the 1987 movie. And the title should be called Lost Boys, Lost Children or Children of Darkness.
You chaps should also consider reviewing Fright Night (1985), made a couple of years before Lost Boys and sticking to that comedy horror vibe but with some proper scary scenes and another very charismatic lead vampire performance.
Great review guys, as always.. & I'm not saying you NEED to have Hannah there, you're doing well on your own, but erm... would it kill you to invite her back again? Either Interview with the vampire or 30 days of night maybe.... (plus corset) :)
I think my favorite scene is when David's beating up Michael close to the end of the movie and just the way that Michael turns around and he has his face then you see what he looks like as a vampire and the whole flying vampire scene was absolutely awesomebecause this whole time you've been seeing the first person flying vampires in this is the first time that you see them actually connect and for me it absolutely paid off
I always like to link movies as much as I can . So on the movies blade Decon Frost he always wanted to be a pure blood and when he fights blade he says to blade "my turn" I like to think that he seen the movie Lost Boys because David says that to Michael
Interesting fact. Jason Patrick and Jami Gerts also star in another 80s film called Solorbabies, Right before they were futured in the Lost Boys the next year
I was in the 7th grade and my only goal in life was to watch this movie. In my freshman year of high school I was not disappointed. #ButNearDarkIsBetter
been watching your channel all day! whilst I work doing paintings in my shed. Thanks for a great channel. Being from the west country but living near birmingham at the moment, its so nice to hear southern accents! :)
The 80s had so many neat little things you could buy.. large watch on the wall as a clock? why the hell not! it's basically a swatch but x20 in size. :)
I just discovered your channel. You guys are great. I loved your Cabin Fever review. Pretty entertaining when you guys don't agree. Keep up the great work!!
I'd forgotten about that comment lol. (*blushes with embarrassment) It's no secret, but I tend to normally listen to these reviews on a pleasant journey towards losing consciousness, having somehow discovered that the dulcet tones of the mighty IanGaz whilst talking about my favourite movies successfully unplugs me from the matrix.... but I guess seeing my favourite celluloidal inclined rockerdroids flanked by a Rockfit guest must have caught me by surprise at the time. Honestly though, not only is it officially my first and only shameless Corset inspired comment, but the fact it fits you like a glove Hannah, is likely what made me diverge uncharacteristically from my usual monk like stoicism. Your contribution honestly had more depth than my one tracked brain-comment implied. Please forgive my momentary weakness! & Stay Rockfit in the moshpit! x
More Corsets lads.... you heard the lady... I'm pretty sure no fan will disagree. Let's see..... they've already done Fright night, and near dark already, but there's always FN part 2, "interview with vamp", "Let the Right one in", "Suck", "Byzantium" "Cronos" "Girl walks home alone" "what we do in the shadows" the "Stakeland/s" "Dusk Till Dawn" or the more traditional "nosferatu", hell..... even "30 days of night" is worth another lace number.... not to mention a host of Hammers..... Come on mighty Iian-Gaz.... the god of Corsets, and the ghosts of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing compel you! *queue evil laugh "mwahahahahahahah" Please though..... no Twilight ;) xxx
PERFECT MOVIE.... the sequels will age more over time Feldman was just a producer and it's not his fault what the studio, sound department, and director did with the second film THE TRIBE. The Thirst finds the franchises place but then SADLY Sony ran out of money to continue their independent direct to DVD release division because they had HUGE plans that might have saved the division it was just too late :( START A PETITION AND WRITE SONY AND START A KICKSTARTER FOR THEM!!!
Hey guys a plot hole to pick bones with. Vampires aren't allowed in your house with our being invited. Star enters the house without asking and so do david and gang at the end battle. How??????
LOL MY question answered, in March 2017! I love "Near Dark", I'll look for the review here on the You Tube. Your reviews are the best, Iain & Gary, thank you ! ; D
Near Dark is a better vampire movie! I hear this quiet a bit, however, for me The Lost Boys is a superior movie. Movie/Vampire Movie? Don't get me wrong, Near Dark is great but doesn't have the magic that the Lost Boys has.
This was the first film that Corey Haim and Corey Feldman worked on together. In the book adaptation they try to imply that Michael saw maggots and worms because of the joint he smoked when he first got down to their lair.
My young daughters laughed at me when I suggested watching this,coz it’s “old”... but they fkin love it now-Blu-ray, T-shirts, funkos etc...good work the 80s
@@hannahlarouge6438 That's great, I will be checking for it every Thursday! It's too bad you didn't do Frigggghhht Night also! That and Lost Boys were my favorite movies as a kid!
@@angrytheclown801 my theory, he was a hunter, and he met a vamp he fell in love with. Remember, the brother was in the daylight after being turned. The final ritual wasn’t done. Remember, “Don’t drink Grandpa’s wine!”
@@peterversionone Michael wasn't a full vampire either. Michael displays sensitivity to daylight, he also displays lethargy during the day. Both things Grandpa never shows. Now if you want something to help your theory, the official comic; Reign of Frogs, Grandpa does become a vampire. The old lady he mentions? She's a vampire and he's scoping her out to find out if she is to take her out. But she gets him before he gets her. His half vampire to full vampire change happens after the events of the movie though.
@@peterversionone He also wasn't lethargic. He was laughing, joking, he wasn't showing the same behavior Michael does later. Not all fan theories are true man.
"luckily they don't fucking sparkle" is actually a false statement. technically the lost boys' blood sparkles. "we put a lot of shiny liquid in ... the fake blood" is something mr schumacher says in the commentary; and you see as sam and the frog brothers rush back to the car, that the blood stains on their clothing is sparkling, and looks like it might have glitter.
David isn't the head vampire it's the megalomaniac from overboard and Richie Ritches dad lol

Great movie love it even though I watched it a 1000 times never get sick of it
Damon Currie Me neither
We had one of those giant watch clocks in one of my elementary school classes. And you missed that questionable poster on his door.
The best two timeless vampire films made in the 80's; Fright Night and The Lost Boys.
Without The Lost Boys there's no Buffy and there's no Scream, which means no Supernatural and none of the re-birthed slasher films from Halloween H20 on.
Happy 30th Anniversary,Lost Boys!

And the title should be called Lost Boys, Lost Children or Children of Darkness.
One of the best vampire movie I'm going to get it on DVD waay better than Twilight.
You miss spelled “The best vampire movie of all time”
You chaps should also consider reviewing Fright Night (1985), made a couple of years before Lost Boys and sticking to that comedy horror vibe but with some proper scary scenes and another very charismatic lead vampire performance.
Great review guys, as always.. & I'm not saying you NEED to have Hannah there, you're doing well on your own, but erm... would it kill you to invite her back again? Either Interview with the vampire or 30 days of night maybe.... (plus corset) :)
We are discussing it - let's get on it boys! vamp?
RIP Joel Schumacher
Santa Cruz California baby!
Where people are strange.
nice corset
Sleep all day party all night it's fun to be a vampire
I dont know what i would do without these uploads bois
it's not nostalgia, if it was shot in the 80's lol, awesome movie though.
Yes! Phone booth would make an awesome review! Jack Bauer himself turned baddie :)
I think my favorite scene is when David's beating up Michael close to the end of the movie and just the way that Michael turns around and he has his face then you see what he looks like as a vampire and the whole flying vampire scene was absolutely awesomebecause this whole time you've been seeing the first person flying vampires in this is the first time that you see them actually connect and for me it absolutely paid off
I always like to link movies as much as I can . So on the movies blade Decon Frost he always wanted to be a pure blood and when he fights blade he says to blade "my turn" I like to think that he seen the movie Lost Boys because David says that to Michael
Especially when the lights go red and Michael's eyes are still brightly lit under them.
Interesting fact. Jason Patrick and Jami Gerts also star in another 80s film called Solorbabies, Right before they were futured in the Lost Boys the next year
Didn't Ian start the Off the Shelf Reviews?
Its opposite day
And im iain
I was in the 7th grade and my only goal in life was to watch this movie. In my freshman year of high school I was not disappointed. #ButNearDarkIsBetter
Man, I love to see that lady in a scream queen movie! She got the look and more
Very true.
Again a cool review for a brilliant movie. I always liked that movie. Thumbs up! :)
Greetings

Sorry I was distracted by how hot Hannah is, what were we talking about?
cheers dude!
The girl is beautiful. Whoever is her boyfriend is, is lucky. Have children.
Jami Gertz?
Hannah needs to come back for some more videos. Finer than all get down
I’d like to see more of Ms. Hawkey.
Great review of Schumachers best film. Also Hannah should be in more videos. Just sayin 🙂
Hot damn! Hannah!
yup.
Why thank you! I'm very flattered :)
Review what we do in the shadows
Who had that wall watch....lol! I did...I had that exact one....lol!
been watching your channel all day! whilst I work doing paintings in my shed. Thanks for a great channel. Being from the west country but living near birmingham at the moment, its so nice to hear southern accents! :)
great review ,blokes. i still cant eat fried rice without thinking of this film.
another one of them movie that stuck with me at a young age great vampire movie .
*Turn up*
Great Review Gent's and Hannah you look so cute I love your accent.
the vampire in near dark was jason patricks brother
I think John Carpenter's Vampires is due a review fellas.
Was 'death by stereo' something said a lot in the 80s? Does it have a anotehr meaning in the USA?
dude No. I'm from the United States. That line was just for the movie---although it is a cool ass line!! 😊
I think "death by......" was kinda saying in the late 70's or 80's. Maybe kind of a skater/stoner thing. It was cool back then.
I loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer
One of my all time favorite films
Love Lost Boys and Near Dark!
I liked this movie despite its industrial cool factor .
The 80s had so many neat little things you could buy.. large watch on the wall as a clock? why the hell not! it's basically a swatch but x20 in size. :)

They are indeed good at unplugging us all from the Matrix - very chilled dudes :)
Vote for another vampire film review to see more corsets! lol

Amazing review
Damn Hannah’s a fine women, she’s got the looks, lovely accent and great commentary she should definitely be in more reviews
Cheers bud! Have yoy seen our 'from Dusk till Dawn' review?
@@hannahlarouge6438 yes I have , hope to see you in more reviews soon
Great review. Gotta say..Hannahs beautiful!
Thankyou, that's so kind! :)
Hey guys a plot hole to pick bones with. Vampires aren't allowed in your house with our being invited. Star enters the house without asking and so do david and gang at the end battle. How??????
Can you believe this review is a decade old!!?? Look at our baby faces!
You guys should consider reviewing Near Dark directed by Kathryn Bigelow, which is a far superior vampire flick.
+pypeworld We did review it a while ago it has been blocked by youtube and we have to get round to editing it and re uploading it :) - Iain
LOL MY question answered, in March 2017!

you want vicious vampires, review 30 days of night, they are naughty fuckers
My young daughters laughed at me when I suggested watching this,coz it’s “old”... but they fkin love it now-Blu-ray, T-shirts, funkos etc...good work the 80s
She reminds me of Ash from #WHATCULTURE.
I hear Schumacher is one of the nicest guys on Hollywood
Have you guys reviewed "Near Dark" yet?
We have but it has been flagged for copyright issues :) - Iain
What a lovely review
Off the Shelf needs to bring back this beautiful red-head goth chick!
Yeah Boys!! I think Queen of the Damned for next review or From Dusk Till Dawn!
I'd pick From Dusk Till Dawn, another great vampire movie. Off The Shelf fans want you back on the show!
@@aarone1981 I think we're going to do "From Dusk Till Dawn" - I love a bit of an off the shelf cameo - it's a lot of fun!
@@hannahlarouge6438 That's great, I will be checking for it every Thursday! It's too bad you didn't do Frigggghhht Night also! That and Lost Boys were my favorite movies as a kid!
@@aarone1981 I THINK Iain and Gary have done Fright night but I'm not sure. Lost Boys is a definite favourite!
They don't sparkle but their blood has shimmering to it. I love this movie, great review. Makes me wanna watch it.....Hulu don't fail me now.😆😆
hannah!
*waves* Hi!!
The discovery that grandpa was actually a vampire "too"...in transition was a shocker. The hints were scattered through the film.
Grandpa was a vampire hunter.
The monster squard
Soundtrack was awesome
West side!
Please re do this,
So you can all see how horribly we've aged lol ;)
I like Twilight too, Hannah! Ain't no shame in my game!!!
This is so painfully 80s it's a good film better than twilight but that's not saying much this I find cringy too I an 80s way.
The grandpa was a vampire as well
No he wasn't. He has scenes in the daylight. If anything, he's a hunter.
@@angrytheclown801 my theory, he was a hunter, and he met a vamp he fell in love with. Remember, the brother was in the daylight after being turned. The final ritual wasn’t done. Remember, “Don’t drink Grandpa’s wine!”

She's a vampire and he's scoping her out to find out if she is to take her out. But she gets him before he gets her. His half vampire to full vampire change happens after the events of the movie though.
@@angrytheclown801 what was the grandpa like in the garage. He looked dead. He said playing dead. He wore sunglasses. And I bet he had bad breath
@@peterversionone He also wasn't lethargic. He was laughing, joking, he wasn't showing the same behavior Michael does later. Not all fan theories are true man.
"luckily they don't fucking sparkle" is actually a false statement. technically the lost boys' blood sparkles.

+RobotProductions09 Calm down.
RobotProductions09 the Vampires don't sparkle as he said....their Blood does
Came for the review... Stayed for Hannah. Good work.
Not me...I stayed for the review and "came" for Hannah LOL ;D
@@FireTiger941 Literally just seen this all these years later! haha! "touche!" - now 10 hail Mary's for being a dirty boy!
