Brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam Emerson (Corey Haim) with their divorced mother Lucy (Dianne Wiest) move to Santa Carla, California to live with her hippie reclusive father out on the farm. There are lots of missing people in the area after attacks from the sky. Michael falls for Star (Jami Gertz) who is the girlfriend of gang leader David (Kiefer Sutherland). Sam is befriended by brothers Edgar (Corey Feldman) and Alan Frog who are self-proclaimed vampire hunters.
It's a fun teen vampire movie from Joel Schumacher. It's an enjoyable ride. The attention is split between Michael and Sam. That leaves the movie with two somewhat separate paths. It's not quite a dark older teen horror. It has a bit of childish fun with Sam and Edgar. That split personality is part of its charm but also holds it back from being great.
