Open Door Cinema Club: The Lost Boys

Joel Schumacher’s The Lost Boys reimagines vampire lore with a burst of 1980s style. Brothers Michael and Sam move to a new town with their mother only to discover it is controlled by a charismatic vampire gang. Michael becomes entangled with the group while Sam turns to quirky local vampire hunters for help. Blending horror, comedy, and teenage rebellion, the film delivers thrills with a playful edge. Its fashion, soundtrack, and themes of temptation and belonging made it a cult classic that still resonates with audiences today.
