Lost Boys: The Thirst Interview: Corey Feldman

Geek Chic Daily has an interview with Corey Feldman, star of all three Lost Boys films, including the latest, Lost Boys: The Thirst.  They talk about Corey Haim and the unintentional-at-the-time shout out to him in the film as well as Feldman’s evolution from comic relief to hero throughout the franchise.  And, of course, Goonies and bobbleheads.

Terror Inside: The Straight2DVD Review

There’s a terror happening here with Terror Inside, a new Corey Feldman-toplined straight-to-DVD horror film, but it’s not what’s occurring on the screen. The terror here is the experience of watching this stinker.

“What?,” you ask. “A Corey Feldman horror film? How could that go wrong?” Well, we’re a long, long way from the first Lost Boys (and its woefully inferior direct-to-video sequel) here. This film goes wrong in so many ways, most of all the acting. Ugh. I swear you’ll see better performances (or at least equal to the ones in this movie) at your typical high school play. Feldman, never really much of an actor to begin with, barely even tries here — when he puts on a faux southern accent to relate to his waitress girlfriend . . . it’s almost worth seeing for that. Almost. The rest of the cast (including Feldman’s former wife and Playboy Playmate Susie) is screamingly inept.

It doesn’t help that they are saddled with what may be the worst dialogue since the days of Ed Wood. There are moments I swear the cast was working without a script. It just seems like they’re just improvising their own (very bad) lines. And the story? What story? Terror Inside trucks along as pretty much a comedy for its opening scenes, introducing characters you won’t care about, before the “terror” element finally arrives — a virus (from some spooky soil samples taken for a university study) that’s going to make people act strangely and lose their inhibitions, ultimately turning them into self-abusing freaks. Science triumphs again!

Surprisingly for a low-budget production, it doesn’t look bad. It appears that Terror Inside was shot on film, not video. Director Joe G. Lenders gives the southern locales a nice texture recalling the location shots in a typical True Blood episode. But the resemblance to that excellent show ends there.

Lost Boys 3 Trailer Arrives, Looks Like Blade Sequel

The first Lost Boys: The Thirst trailer has arrived so action-packed as to appear as if they’ve replaced Wesley Snipes with Corey Feldman in a Blade reboot.  Or maybe it’s just the club-going vampires that are throwing me off.  What we do know is that Deaths of Ian Stone director Dario Piana is directing, Lost Boys: The Tribe scribe Hans Rodionoff is co-writing, and possibly-Megan-Fox-replacement-for-Transformers-3 supermodel Tanit Phoenix co-stars.

Not so much with a release date.

The Director of Lost Boys: The Tribe Sez, “I Never Saw The Lost Boy.”

Bukisa blogger Pidde Andersson has an interview with Corey Feldman on Lost Boys: The Tribe, which is showing at Fantastisk Filmfestival in Lund, Sweden. My favorite part of the interview comes when he consults the director, P.J. Pesce (From Dusk Til Dawn 3, Sniper 3 – and soon, Smokin’ Aces: Blowback) about the film:

“No, I never saw THE LOST BOY when it came out,” Pesce says. “I saw it several years later. And no, I’m no fan of it. No, it wasn’t a huge blockbuster when it came out, or was it?”

Kind of like having John Bolton be an ambassador to the U.N., no?
