Lost Boys 2: The Tribe: It's not scary to waste a lot of blood.

A movie I watched for my inexplicable fascination with "Western Frontier Corpse" (the Blood-sucking Earl).

The film uses two irrelevant elements of funny + horror, which is indeed not easy to do. In addition to not being too tragic at the end, it must also make people laugh while seeing goosebumps. But honestly, I don't like movies like this either. Eating popcorn and laughing at a movie while feeling nauseous would give me indigestion.

Honestly, there's nothing funny or scary about this movie. If you can't achieve the coordination of two points, in fact, it is better to stick to one, so as not to get too difficult and thankless. At the beginning of the film, apart from a lot of swear words that seemed to try to make people relax, F**K to F**K, the rest was to magnify the scene of the tragic death with blood splattered everywhere. Do horror movies have to see blood to make people feel scary? Moreover, this movie completely destroyed the elegant and indifferent image of the "Earl of Vampire" in my heart. It was actually more like a bunch of "strong bloodthirsty men" (or the so-called "zombies" in Chinese, who bit a little ghost No sex.)

Speaking of swearing, there is so much swearing in this movie that it's annoying. I don't think swearing is necessarily a sign of impoliteness, but when you hear the same F**K from beginning to end, you really feel more nauseous than Mom's nagging lessons.

Sometimes I feel like a movie is a condensed expression of a life/attitude/idea/art, and Lost Boys makes me feel like I'm wasting film, taking over an hour to tell a terribly simplistic, unremarkable/emphasized story. (As far as this is concerned, the "Wenque" I watched before is much more clever, and the simple content doesn't need too long a film. It's quite commercial, hehe.) The vampire theme is originally very attractive, but I can only say that this movie not fully manifested.

However, I really like the protagonists Chris and Nicole, both of them are good looking haha, even Shane (Head Vampire) is also very handsome. Others are simply like brainless zombies, strong men with well-developed limbs. In addition, the vampires in "Lost Boys" are easy to deal with, Chris can deal with those minions alone, stronger than him but easier to die than him. Moreover, there are only a few people who come and go, and the ten fingers of Head Vampire's hands are counted.

As for Vampire Hunter, who seems to be very powerful, the whole play kills a ghost and celebrates it. But yes, not many can be solved. And then say something meaningful or two, Build a man a fire, and he's warm for a day; Light a man on fire, and he's warm for the rest of his life. I can't figure out why he's saying that, yeah At Shane's (Head Vampire) burning body, but also at Chris and Nicole. However, is there a Hidden message in this sentence?

The film also flaunts kinship. How Chris loves his sister, Nicole shows from the beginning to the end, whether it is pulling his sister out of the party, or driving away Hunter who wants to kill Nicole who was infected, and even making himself a Vampire in order to save her. As for Nicole, in the end, he inserted a stick into Shane's chest with his own hands and said to him, "He's family, asshole!" I almost thought they were going to have a brother-sister relationship, haha.

Also, what puzzles me the most is why they go to the police to demonstrate. If this is what the Vampire Count/Ghost with Immortality considers meaningful, then the rogues are probably the most different from them, they are eternal rogues, while human rogues die. If that's why Chris joined them (although Chris did it on purpose), isn't Chris's surfing life (Chris was a surfer) less than riding a motorcycle to get into trouble. A bit here, ridiculous. However, this understanding seems to be a bit serious. After all, this is just a horror comedy, and life should never be defined too decisively.
