Recently divorced mother Lucy (Dianne Wiest) moves her two teenage sons, Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim), to the foggy coastal town of Santa Carla, California—a seemingly idyllic beach community plagued by unexplained disappearances and a soaring missing-persons rate.
While comic book–obsessed Sam makes friends with two eccentric local brothers claiming to be vampire hunters (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander), Michael falls in with a brooding motorcycle gang led by the charismatic David (Kiefer Sutherland).
After unwittingly drinking blood during an initiation ritual, Michael begins undergoing a terrifying transformation, forcing Sam and his newfound allies to wage an all-out war to destroy the head vampire before Michael’s soul is lost forever.
Joel Schumacher directs a stylish, rock ‘n’ roll reinventing of vampire lore that defined 1980s youth culture, blending dark horror, sharp comedy, and a legendary soundtrack featuring Echo & the Bunnymen and Gerard McMahon.
This is one of the coolest, most influential vampire movies ever made. Happy Halloween!
