Great first half
Started with great mystery and mood, plus absorbing performances with a pinch of comedy.
The second half is fine but it didn’t engage me as much with the goofiness of Peter Vincent and the drawn out gore effects.
The Lost Boys did a better job of sustaining a similar tone throughout the runtime.
Still, a lot of fun and reminded me that I’m not just getting old - modern films objectively have none of the charm of 80’s popcorn fun.
