The third installment in the series... I'll be honest, I sure wasn't expecting much. Was not too impressed with the second, so I went in with real low expectations. This has a better look and feel. Better script, better acting... and all around is just a better movie. I actually enjoyed it a lot, and lets face it, we're all fans of the Frog Brothers and want more of these movies made... no matter how bad they are.

Here's the low-down. We all know about the Frog Brothers. We open the film with the duo busting in on some political blood-suckers in the expected Frog fashion... too expected. Alan Frog (Jamison Newlander) quips, akwardly, "Holy Shit... it's the attack of Grandpa Munster". Rehashing his best line from the original Lost Boys film. Now, if you've seen the sequel(2008's "Lost Boys" The Tribe"), you know Alan is already a vamp. Turns out the opening is a dream sequence of Edgar Frog (Corey Feldman). We pick up with him getting evicted from his trailer and trying to scrounge up some dough to survive. He meets up with Gwen Lieber (Tanit Phoenix) who tells him up glow-stick waving Raver Vamps passing around a new drug called "The Thirst" at all the parties. Turns out the drug is vamp blood being used to build up an undead army. Edgar accepts the challenge and is partnered with a reality show reject (Steven Van Niekerk) and has to deal with a cameraman tag-a-long.

Best One-Liner: "Vinyl... still shreds!" - Edgar Frog
