Review by Mike Pickle for MoreHorror.com
No modern vampire film is closer to my heart than the original Lost Boys, but after seeing the utterly terrible sequel, Lost Boys: The Tribe in 2008; I longed for a way to erase it from my memory. Imagine my surprise that I would even entertain the notion of actually watching a 2nd sequel.
After finding out that Corey Feldman was bumped up to a starring role I guess I figured that, after being in some of my favorite films from the '80's, he deserved another chance. Besides, I have never been a Corey hater. Sure he's done some bad movies since, but what child star hasn't? I kept an open mind while watching The Thirst, but I still expected it to fall apart at any minute. Call me crazy, but it never did. It's an entertaining, campy little romp and a welcome change from The Tribe.

Leaving with a meager offer to buy his wares, a disgruntled Edgar is met by vampire romance novelist, Gwen Lieber (Tanit Phoenix) who hopes to hire him to help rescue her brother, Peter (Felix Mosse), from a vampire coven.
The coven, led by vampire baddie DJ X (Seb Castang), is headlining a series of raves called X-parties which have been known for distributing a new designer drug known as,...
