This was an ill advised belated and unnecessary sequel to a cult 80s's classic. All this movie has got going for it is a smoking hot female vampire who gets killed off way too early. Tom Salvini was showcasing his special effects, especially when he gets his head sliced off. Angus Sutherland had the personality of a blunt surfboard and he's not on a patch on Keifer ! The original Lost Boys worked with 80s Goths, not with extreme sports rejects and Surfer dudes. Corey Feldman, i'm sure he's grateful for the work, but he's faxed in performance as Edgar Frog was the equal vent of an automated answering machine! The ironic joke in ending, where he faces a (vampire god forbid) Corey Haim was so lame. Check it out when your drunk or if you'll out of work and have nothing to do for an hour and a half! Somehow I don't think Jason Patrick was interested in reprising his role.

Recently I couldn't get into any performance of The Dark Knight, so myself and my mate looked for an alternative. I should gone home and watched Eastenders this boring pretentious mockney nonsense, barely kept me awake . The main character (the first black hooligan) was about is menacing as the Hofmeister Bear. Unlike the cruely underrated Rise Of The Footsoldier which was slated to pieces. This film was a winded pretentious biopic of somebody nobody cares about. The acting was dreadful, especially the person who plays Cass's wife,hearing her winy nicotine voice was the equalvent of hearing a blackboard being scratched!! Why was this given a 18 certificate ?

I can see why this flopped it's so boring and the plot is not suited to the cinema. It's basically an extended version of the TV series. The first spin off film had a bigger scale in budget and plot. A plot of body part transplants is hardly that exciting and the whole thing was non to be honest. Billy Connily was unconvincing as a paedophile ex priest who castrated himself, he comes off as a cuddly old man not a menacing figure! As for Mulder and Scully they look bored and have descended into self parody! Even the brief appearance of Skinner is like a forced reunion to keep the comic guy(from the simpsons) type nerds happy. If it was a one off TV special it would have better received. Chris Carter is a television director- not film and it shows. Also this had no chance competing with The Dark Knight commerically at the box office!
