Joel Schumacher's 1987 film The Lost Boys capitalized on a temporary lull in horror movies in the late '80s and created a heavily music-video-influenced vampire homage with enough campy humor, heavy metal costumes, and hunky stars to put a fresh spin on the genre. An amusing piece of eye candy spiked by a few creepy moments, the movie, in typical '80s style, relies heavily on the soundtrack to bolster its emotional core. The soundtrack, like the film, works great on the surface -- but don't go much deeper. A mix of covers and bombastic '80s pop originals, the songs work best when they concentrate on the horror factor. Echo & the Bunnymen turn in an excellent cover of the Doors' "People Are Strange" that has a bouncier, more melodic touch than the original. Jimmy Barnes and INXS' "Good Times" is an energetic rocker used to personify the party-hardy SoCal atmosphere of the film. The strongest song is the movie's theme, "Cry Little Sister," a goth-influenced midtempo ballad. Singer Gerald McMann's pained phrasing and creepy lyrics, and a chilling chorus sung by what sounds like disembodied children, exemplify the best parts of the movie and the soundtrack. ~ Theresa E. LaVeck

5 stars The Lost Boys soundtrack
I own the movie on both DVD and VHS, and the soundtrack on CD. It's a wonderful movie and soundtrack. I believe the movie wouldn't be half of what it is without the music.

3 stars good old 80's horror soundtrack!
The two songs "Cry Little Sister" and "people Are Strange" are enough to buy this album. What an atmosphere! What a sound! Good old 80's horror soundtrack at it's best. If you can find the soundtrack for this movie's cousin "Fright Night", then buy it cause it's just as good. "Lost In The Shadows" and "I Still Believe" are pure gems!
