I love Lost Boys and I was hesitant to watch Lost Boys 2 after I'd read the reviews on IMDb, but I rented it anyways...
The cinematography was well done for a low budget film. The music was okay. The script was terrible.
This is a good movie to rent if you love Ed Wood films. The story is extremely weak, there is no climax, no clever twists. It is a shadow that slightly follows the original Lost Boys. Worse, the writer focused not on the story, but on sex and horror to make it interesting. I don't mind sex, horror, etc, but it needs to fit into the story. In this movie, the story is an afterthought.
After I finished watching the movie, I couldn't stop but wonder... who the heck signed off on this script? A movie costs a lot of money to make and I'm surprised that anyone threw money at this script. It's in insult to US, the folks who ultimately pay for fools to write movies for us.
It does not surprise me that Lost Boys 2 sold better than expected. All of the Lost Boys fans will watch it, regardless, due to curiosity. If the folks who funded this movie think for an instant we will watch another poorly constructed movie with the Lost Boys title on it, think again. Fire the writer.
