Weak Reference to the Classic Vampire Movie

The orphan and former surfer Chris Emerson (Tad Hilgenbrink) and his sister Nicole Emerson (Autumn Reeser) move to Luna Bay expecting to initiate a new life without housing expenses with their Aunt Jillian (Gabrielle Rose), but she charges rent to the siblings for a wrecked house, and Chris seeks a job working as board shaper to raise money for the unforeseeable expenses. While in town, he meets his acquaintance and also former surfer Shane Powers (Angus Sutherland) that invites Chris for a surf parting at night. Then the siblings unsuccessfully seek out the board shaper and vampire hunter Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman) in his trailer trying to find a job and Chris leaves a message for him. They go to Shane's party and Nicole stays with Shane and drinks booze offered by him. Later she becomes a half-vampire and Edgar advises that she drank vampire's blood and can only be saved if the head-vampire is killed. Chris and Edgar search the hiding place of Shane and his tribe to save Nicole.

I saw the trailer of "Lost Boys: The Tribe" and I really expected a great sequel of "Lost Boys", but unfortunately I found a weak reference to the classic vampire movie. The writer used the same storyline and introduced some gore, many naked or half-naked women (the stunningly hot Moneca Delain, for example, "acts" undressing her tiny bikini and having shower and sex with Chris) and a weird thirty-seven year old Corey Feldman acting like a teenager trying to repeat the success of the original movie. However, the acting is flat and there is a total lack of humor and charm in this sequel, with a weak Angus Sutherland in the lead role. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "Garotos Perdidos 2: A Tribo" ("Lost Boys 2: The Tribe")
