I rewatched it within the last 2 years and was surprised at how well it holds up. There's certain film techniques that are a bit odd to the eye today, and I'm not talking about visual effects. Thankfully this was before CGI had taken over, and we all know how well 90's CGI holds up (it doesn't). I mean about the super imposed images, the scene wipes, certain camera moves. I dig it though. It's also incredibly wonderful to see a true vampire story before that word got taken over by the Twilight crowd. As for Ms. Ryder, you either like her or you don't, same as any other movie she's in. I happen to like her. Keanu is just hilarious to watch in this though. Now you all got me thinking back to other vampire movies. The same year The Lost Boys came out (how has that one age? Anyone? Scared to destroy my memory!) there was another movie by a young director named Katherine Bigelow (what ever became of her? Hmmmm....) called Near Dark. They never say the word vampire, because they wanted to play by their own mythology rules, yet it wound up writing the rules that Joss Whedon would use for Buffy. It also stars James Cameron's usual band of actors with Lance Henriksen, Jenette Goldstein, and Bill Paxton. If you've never seen, seek it out.As for Frankenstein, I saw it in the theater and that's it. It has left no lasting impression on me other than that I didn't like the look of the monster at all. He looked like a nuclear waste mutant, moved way too fast, and kinda makes me think of the Brundlefly. Which there's another, have you guys watched The Fly recently? Holy cow do those makeup effects still look amazing!</blockquote>
