Description: It's ironic...usually you pay more for Angus, but here it was all they could afford. After two decades and more than a few false starts, the franchise returned in Lost Boys: The Tribe. Instead of Santa Carla, the action shifts to a new California beach town, where Chris Emerson (Epic Movie's Tad Hilgenbrink) battles a fresh pack of bloodsuckers led by surfer-vampire Shane (Angus Sutherland, Kiefer's half-brother) to keep his sister from turning fully undead. Direct-to-video sequels don't exactly have a sterling reputation. Still, this one stacks the deck with a few familiar hooks: Corey Feldman returns as gravel-voiced Edgar Frog and horror icon Tom Savini pops up for good measure. But does The Tribe revive the swagger and bite of the '87 classic, or does it prove that some cult favorites are better left undisturbed? Our hosts sink their teeth into whether this long-delayed sequel earns its fangs or just coasts on nostalgia.   {Lost Boys Series}
