Lost Boys [4K Ultra HD]

Product Information

There’s a vivid richness to the entire image, especially noticeable on the exterior shots of Santa Carla under the film’s opening credits. Detail is terrifically sharp (although due to the anamorphic process, there is still inherent and appropriate softness present where it should be at time), the fine detail front and centre across not just close-ups are immediately apparent in all the usual places – clothing textures, facial detail and in all the trinkets buried deep within the superb set design. Lines are sharp without being overly so and it gives a fantastic sense of depth to the whole picture.

This is a stellar upgrade from the previous blu ray and the film sparkles with its 4k presentation and I’ve seen this film countless times but this surpasses every release by miles and felt I was watching it for the first time. Stunning 💀 For the week of September 19th, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release Batman: The Long Halloween – Deluxe Edition as well as Poltergeist (1982) and The Lost Boys on 4K UHD and Blu-ray. Other releases include Outlander: Season Six on Blu-ray from Sony Pictures ...

Haim and Feldman first provide an introduction (4 minutes) where they recall what they consider their "greatest" cinematic effort. Then there is a 19-minute compendium of the pairs best scenes, where they are joined by Feldman's fellow Frog Brother Jamison Newlander for a video commentary that's presented in multi-angle. (You can choose to watch the footage with the trio in a small PIP box, or vice versa.) Their insights are pretty ridiculous, if priceless -- my favorite is Haim's remark on the film's visual style. "Like, nature is green and this is all red and, like, it all coincides with each other." Deep, man, deep. Recent divorcee Lucy drives her two teenaged boys, Michael ( Jason Patric) and Sam ( Corey Haim) into Santa Carla, the sign stating it to be ‘the murder capital of the world’, to begin afresh. Soon, after they arrive they start to discover why. Mom gets a job at Max’s ( Edward Hermann) video store, Sam befriends a couple of Stallone wannabes, the Frog brothers, from the comic shop ( Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander) who believe in monsters and Michael follows a gorgeous young woman named Star ( Jami Gertz), only to discover she’s attached to a group of Biker’s led by the mysterious David ( Kiefer Sutherland). Michael, unable to resist the lure of Star, is pulled into the biker gang life and after drinking from some weird wine bottle David offers him, starts to change in personality and temperament.Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire. Sam and his older brother Michael are all-American teens with all-American interests. But after they move with their mother to peaceful Santa Carla, California, things mysteriously begin to change. Michael's not himself lately, and Mom's not going to like what he's turning into.

The Lost Boys' is actually a lot less interesting than it sounds. Directed by Joel Schumacher and shot by Oscar-winning cinematographer Michael Chapman, the film has a wonderfully glossy and rich visual look, but not much more going for it. The story of a teenager drawn to the dark side of vampirism had the potential to explore adolescent issues rarely touched by mainstream horror cinema, yet these facets are largely jettisoned by the obvious script that plays it too safe. Any subversive possibilities are largely tossed aside in favor of standard genre thrills and overt humor, which, while making the film entertaining, ultimately render it vapid. The majority of the extras are found on the accompanying 1080p disc, which also includes the film in its newly 4K remastered version and include: Let’s face it, if you’re a fan of vampire movies then there are no shortage of films to choose from. They vary from entertaining to scary to outright funny. But it was with 1987’s The Lost Boys that really made vampires “cool” again. Originally to be directed by Richard Donner, he left to work on Lethal Weapon, but stayed on as a producer. Director Joel Schumacher was brought on, though Donner stayed on as a producer. The Lost Boys had a cast of (then) relative unknown actors. Granted, Dianne Wiest and Edward Herrmann had been in the business for some time, but the younger, fresh faces of Jason Patric, Jamie Gertz and Kiefer Sutherland were still new to the Hollywood scene. The movie might also be noted as the first pairing of “The Two Corey’s”, Haim and Feldman. They’d go on to star in a few other 80’s classics with License to Drive (my personal favorite of their team ups) and Dream a Little Dream. Oh, and lest we forget this movie also features an oiled up, buff, shirtless “sax guy.” Enjoy. As of right now, the U.S. release will include two discs - one in 4K Ultra HD and the other a Blu-ray disc, both harnessing the power of the top-tier resolution and audio that we’ve come to expect with 4K re-releases. No extras have been announced at this time, but hopefully, they’ll be added as we get closer to the date.

We reviewed this Region free UK Ultra HD Blu-ray release on a JVC-DLA N5 Ultra HD 4K projector and a Panasonic DP-UB9000 Dolby Vision/HDR10 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. The Lost Scenes– Fifteen minutes of deleted scenes are included, though with no commentary or context – they’re a bit disjointed. Multi-Angle Video Commentary– Haim, Feldman and Jaimson Newlander offer up a 20 minute segment on some multi-angles of the film via the oft-used “angle” button your control. It’s there. Sam (Corey Haim) and his older brother Michael (Jason Patric) move to Santa Carla with their mother (Dianne Wiest). Sam falls into the Boardwalk comic book crowd with the wonderfully earnest Frog Brothers (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander). Meanwhile, Michael falls under the spell first of the beautiful Star (Jami Gertz) and then the uber-charismatic David (Kiefer Sutherland), camply supported by his fantastically hirsute band of teen runaways. Who just so happen to be vampires… There’s another classic horror movie coming to 4K, Warner Bros are releasing The Lost Boys 4K UHD + Blu-ray this September in the United Kingdom.

There are no options to watch The Lost Boys for free online today in Australia. You can select 'Free' and hit the notification bell to be notified when movie is available to watch for free on streaming services and TV. Music Video (SD) - An enjoyably cheesy clip is provided for Lou Gramm's immortal "Lost in the Shadows." (Sadly, the other superior music video produced for 'The Lost Boys,' INXS' cover of "Good Times," is for some reason not included.) The Lost Boys was shot anamorphically on 35mm film with the Panavision Panaflex Gold camera and E-series Lenses. It’s been granted a new 4K restoration for this release, although details of what was involved in this are scant on the ground. The disc however offers up a native 3840 x 2160p resolution image with an aspect ratio of 2.40:1 (which matches the film’s theatrical aspect ratio) that uses 10-bit video depth, High Dynamic Range (HDR10 only) and is encoded using the HEVC (H.265) codec However it’s the stunning brightness and beautifully robust colours that really shine. Literally in some cases. The previous blu-ray had a slightly overcast sheen to the picture – that has been completely banished on this new image, washed out skin tones now replaced with healthy complexions, and dull skies with wonderfully nuanced and the bright blues of a California summer. And this new brighter and richer sense of colour is perfect for Schumacher’s overt lighting – be it the complex shadow detail of the vampire’s underground lair, the neon sheen of the Boardwalk and its many shops and rides or the blood-red drenched finale set in Grandpa’s house, the colours leap off the screen and leave the previous release in its dust. The only slight note of imperfection in this is that some of the insanely bright whites can bloom a little – never across the whole screen, but in certain highlights, it’s the only very minor blight on an otherwise outstanding image. But all of that is banished with the now clearly observed wonderful twinkling highlights of the glitter that cover the Frog Brothers after their staking of one of the vamps. Eat that Twilight, The Lost Boys did glittery vamps first. And better….

Haimster & Feldog: The Story of the 2 Coreys– Like it or not, this is the movie that put these two Corey’s together for the first time. Both auditioned for the same role (that eventually went to Feldman) in The Goonies and it is a bit sad knowing that Corey Haim would be dead just a few years after this was made.Britta DeVore is a Senior News Writer for Collider who has been known to dabble with Reality News as well.
