Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008)

Orphans Chris and his sister Nicole move to town where they rent a shack from his wacky Aunt. Chris was a surfer who was banned from competition after an incident with another surfer. While trying to find work at local surf shops, he is invited to a party where he runs into his old nemesis.

The party is hedonistic and Nicole takes a liking to Shane. He gives her a drink which turns out to be vampire blood which causes her to begin a transformation.

Since no one will believe his story, Chris teams up with Edgard Frog to fight the vampires. I'm not sure why no one will believe him since vampires have been in town for years and there are tons of flyers for missing kids who have disappeared. But the sheriff is very nonchalant about it all. There is even a chase scene in which the vampires taunt the cops inside the station. They give chase and end up looking like they're the Keystone Cops.

This is a Lost Boys movie in name only and is very disappointing. Even bringing back Corey Feldman to reprise his role as one of the Frog Brothers can't save this one. Corey Haim appears for a minute at the end, plus in a few short out takes.
