10 Unexpected And Surprising Horror Movie Sequels

10. Lost Boys: The Tribe

The Lost Boys (1987) is one of the most beloved vampire movies of all time, featuring a near perfect cast executing a near perfect script. Then some 21 years later came a sequel that absolutely nobody asked for. The story this time focuses on a gang of surfing vampires, and gone is the subtle slow build of the first movie, as in the opening scene they kill another vampire, using god awful dialogue as they decapitate him before playing football with his head.

In Lost Boys: The Tribe, Chris (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his sister Nicole (Autumn Reeser) move to the coast so that he can follow his dream of making it as a pro surfer, setting up a typical fish out of water story that somewhat mirrors the first movie. Chris meets vampire surfer Shane (Angus Sutherland) and he and his sister are invited to a house party where Shane infects Nicole, damning her to a life as an immortal bloodsucker.

The plot then basically revolves around a race against time by Chris and returning vampire hunter Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman), to save her soul by killing the head vampire before she feeds for the first time. The script is poor throughout, and gone are the superb practical effects of the original, replaced with below par scenes of CGI. There are Easter egg nods to the original littered throughout, but these moments are all too little in justifying the film as a worthwhile extension of The Lost Boys saga.
