About this deal

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 Scenes– Fifteen minutes of deleted scenes are included, though with no commentary or context – they’re a bit disjointed.

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. Vampires Photo Gallery (SD, 10 minutes) - A surprisingly robust gallery with over 78 stills. This is edited as a single 10-minute montage, so there are no interactive navigation options or any upgrade for Blu-ray. Vamping Out: The Undead Creations of Greg Cannom– We get a look at the make-up used in the movie as well as some history from Cannom and his career.

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: 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. The movie was originally thought to be a companion piece to The Goonies but when Schumacher was brought on board, it was rewritten to cater to an older audience. It worked. The cult status of this film will likely never go away. And that’s fine. It served as a launching pad for several careers, gave us the “Two Corey’s” (not sure if that was a good thing or not) and it was odd to me that Jami Gertz is now one of the wealthiest women in America. After having seen countless vampire movies, this one does stand out. Yes, there are better, but this is really one of the few that makes them ‘cool.’ Oddly, the film’s success made it ripe for a big budget sequel, but that never happened and it’s really not known why. The film was only marred by two direct-to-video sequels that had very little to do with the original. If, for some reason, you’re reading this and haven’t ever experienced this film – there’s no time like the present…er, past? Video: How’s it look? 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. 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 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 remainder of the supplements are found on the Blu-ray, though there’s nothing new here and these are dated circa 2008 (when the original Blu-ray came out).

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. 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.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 💀 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 by also cleverly focussing on the seductive aspects of life as a Lost Boy – do what you want, go where you want, take what you want, BE what you want….. – it brilliantly doubled up as teenage wish fulfilment on an epic level at the exact same time. David is the true legacy of The Lost Boys…. a brilliantly crafted poster boy for the 1980s - charisma flowing through his veins instead of blood, an attitude that burnt out of him like wildfire and those cheekbones that made everyone want to either be him or be with him, regardless of gender or sexuality. One of cinema’s coolest characters, he looms large over the film and the era, even with his fairly limited screentime. 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. Inside the Vampire’s Cave – four featurettes, including ‘A Directors Vision’, ‘Comedy vs Horror’, ‘Fresh Blood’ and ‘The Lost Boys Sequel?’ – 18 mins total
