Lost Boys [4K Ultra HD]

Product Information

FYI: Cineworld are screening this in a new brand 4K 'restoration,' so I think it's a safe bet that a UHD is on the way. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How’s it look? Audio: How’s it sound? Supplements: What are the extras? The Bottom Line Plot: What’s it about? 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. as I said rarely it does happen, thankfully eventually for Beetlejuice (and in very limited German release, The Princess Bride, if you count that it being so limited) but there are still: South Pacific, Titanic, The Sound Of Music, West Side Story, Carousel, Last Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Blinded By The Light, Little Women 2019. Sadly there is a less any remote hint of talk of UHDs for any of those at this point (some were even new releases).

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. Audio: English: DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1; French: Dolby Digital 2.0; German: Dolby Digital 2.0; Italian: Dolby Digital 2.0; Spanish: Dolby Digital 2.0; Spanish: Dolby Digital 2.0 Cast: Corey Feldman, Jami Gertz, Corey Haim, Edward Herrmann, Jason Patric, Kiefer Sutherland, Dianne Wiest This native 2160 4K scan of the 35mm camera negative is, in a word: sumptuous. Lost Boys is one of those movies, set at night, full of rim lighting and deep bold colours that could show poor transfer like a set of dog’s balls. I’m happy to report that Warner’s have delivered this film as close to reference as they ever have. The copious night scenes are rich and inky, displaying detail probably never seen since the theatres, showing no signs of crush or light bleed. The elaborate costumes of the vampires truly leap of the screen and show a detail and appreciation for the wardrobe department that defies belief. The 80s came replete with a lot of neon and pastel, beautifully rendered here and aided spectacularly by the HDR10 enhancements. The finale holds a set filled with a lot of red—a monochromatic nightmare for subtlety—but all the different shades are replicated perfectly. Absolutely the best this film has ever looked on home media.Also today, Stephen has taken a look at Anthony Mann’s The Naked Spur (1953) on Blu-ray from MGM via the Warner Archive Collection.

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 ... The Lost Boys' receives a first-ever high-res mix on Blu-ray, with a Dolby TrueHD 5.1 Surround (48kHz/16-bit) presentation. It's perfectly fine, if not providing nearly as much of an improvement as the video. 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. When she isn't sitting behind her laptop bringing readers her hot takes on upcoming projects or keeping the dream alive in the Senior News team, Britta can usually be found outside hiking or inside behind her drum set. She currently plays in two bands, Kid Midnight and Watergate, both based in Brooklyn. An obsessive traveler, Britta loves long road trips to the South West and has a soft spot in her heart for canyons, rivers, and forests.

Stunning 💀 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.

Inside the Vampire’s Cave – four featurettes, including ‘A Directors Vision’, ‘Comedy vs Horror’, ‘Fresh Blood’ and ‘The Lost Boys Sequel?’ – 18 mins total Haimster & Feldog/Multi-Angle Featurette" (SD, 23 minutes) - Sigh... must the two Coreys get there own supplement? 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. 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.)

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. There are also multiple subtitle varieties on offer including English, German and Spanish SDH, as well as Spanish, Dutch and French regular subtitle options. Audio Commentary - Director Joel Schumacher flies solo, for a measured -- if sometimes slow -- commentary. The basics are covered, from how the project developed to the casting to the surprisingly stressful production. Schumacher has a dry wit to the point that some might be bored, but I found him a wry and engaging speaker. Casual fans can probably skip this and just watch the documentary features, but diehards should give it a listen.

Turns out David and his gang are a tad older than they look, by a couple of hundred years, and Star wasn’t lying when she warned Michael he was drinking blood from David’s freaky bottle. Michael is truly becoming one of the gang and the urge for him to kill is growing. Sam discovers his brother’s attitude is a little more than teen angst and enlists the aide of the Frog brothers to try and turn him away from his impending doom. They believe if they can destroy the head vampire, the likes of Michael and Star will return to normal. All the while, Mom is trying to date her boss and is pissed at the both of them. They hatch a plan to kill David, assuming he’s the one they want. They’re dangerously wrong. The Lost Boys (1987) is a film directed by Joel Schumacher and stars Corey Feldman, Jami Gertz, Corey Haim, Edward Herrmann, Barnard Hughes, Jason Patric, Dianne Wiest and Kiefer Sutherland. The Lost Boys 4K UHD + Blu-ray A World of Vampires– An interactive feature that allows the user to learn about vampires from around the world. Except Beetlejuice eventually came out, and not on Halloween, so maybe people should have patience. 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.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…. I've watched this a million times at home on VHS then DVD and Blu-ray and I never once noticed that when the Frog brothers come out from the lair after the first staking covered in vampire blood that it sparkles like glitter in the sun light. Starring: Jason Patric , Corey Haim , Dianne Wiest , Barnard Hughes , Edward Herrmann , Kiefer Sutherland
