Rob had never seen this movie. I'll give you a second to pick your jaw up from the floor.It's more proof that he didn't have family or friends that loved him.
Anyway, he wanted to watch The Hunger Games but it turns out that he doesn't actually own The Hunger Games and the next movie he really wants to buy is The Avengers, which doesn't come out for another month. So I told him to just grab the first movie off the shelf that he hasn't seen before and he picked this one.
Honestly, it doesn't hold up as well as some movies. It's very much stuck in that adolescent/teenage era where you have to learn to fend for yourself. Also, it's incredibly 80's. Like just insanely 80's.
Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) accompany their mother Lucy (Dianne Weist) to Santa Carla, California after her divorce. Almost immedately bored with the town's kitschy/creepy boardwalk, the teenaged Michael starts stalking some chieck he sees. Unfortunately, she is tight with a crew of biker dudes led by David (Keifer Sutherland). David and his crew think that Michael has what it takes to join them as creatures of the night. Sam, however, is not on board with this plan and recruits the Frog brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander) to help him destroy the head vampire and return his brothe to the land of the living.
It's still a classic of the genre, but honestly, the best thiing about this movie is the soundtrack. It's badass.
