White Wall Cinema: VHS FEST NIGHT 1 – THE LOST BOYS
June 20 @ 7:00 pm – 10:30 pm
Join us for VHS Fest, a special three night film festival celebrating films that represent the classic era of VHS video. Each night you can take a stroll through our life size VHS rental store, indulge in some retro gaming, have a drink in our beer garden (with our VHS era playlist) and then enjoy a cult classic film from the era on the big screen. Tickets for individual nights are available as well as a discounted festival ticket for all three nights (nights two and three revealed soon).
Night one of VHS Fest sees us take a trip to 80s Santa Clara, California. When a newly divorced mother and two sons move to the coastal locale, it’s only a matter of time until the town’s local teen vampire biker gang attempt to recruit one of the family. It’s then up to younger brother Sam and his two friends from the local comic book store to save the day.
Campy, gothic and cool with a rocking 80s soundtrack, The Lost Boys is a key touchstone of 80s pop culture and still the best teen screen vampire gang ever assembled (apologies to Twilight & Buffy). The stacked cast of 80s icons include Corey Feldman, Corey Haim, Kiefer Sutherland, & Dianne Wiest (on the verge of winning her Oscar) all under the spell of ace cinematography from Michael Chapman, who by this point in his career had already shot Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and the iconic Michael Jackson ‘Bad’ music video for Martin Scorsese (not to mention Paul Schrader’s ‘Hardcore’ , Hal Ashby’s ‘The Last Detail’ the 70s Invasion of The Bodysnatchers remake). Imbued with director Joel Schumacher’s bold, vividly coloured visual style, ace production design and frenetic energy, it deserves nothing less than to be enjoyed on the big screen in this new 4K remaster.
The iconic teenage horror comedy is fun from start to finish and the perfect way to kick off a weekend of VHS classics.
