The Lost Boys 4K Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Martin Liebman September 27, 2022

Warner Brothers and Best Buy have collaborated on a store exclusive UHD SteelBook release for the classic 1987 film 'The Lost Boys.' The disc and digital content is identical to that found in the UHD wide release. See the 'Special Features and Extras' section of the review below for more on the SteelBook's look and feel.

The Lost Boys 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  3.5 of 5

Warner Brothers' SteelBook is matte, so it will not show handling fingerprints even in its darker areas, which are plentiful. The front depicts the left half of Michael's face, looking forward, pressed up against the SteelBook's left-hand side. He is bathed in blue, as is the woodland background behind him. He is wearing sunglasses, inside of which is an image of the vampires hanging off the bottom of the train tracks with a setting sun behind them. The film's title appears in the familiar script and style bottom center. The rear panel depicts Chinese carry-out, center. "They're only noodles, Michael." The background is otherwise black with a dark blue billing block bottom center. The spine is black with the film's title appearing center. A small dark blue Warner Brothers shield appears at the bottom.

Inside, the digital copy code is tucked underneath the left-hand-side tabs. The two discs, one UHD and one Blu-ray, are situated on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that features David sitting in his lair, awash in an artificial light, on the left. Some candles appear on the right-hand side.

The Lost Boys 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

This is my favorite Vampire film, one of my favorite films from the 80s, and one of my favorite films, ever. The UHD is terrific and the SteelBook looks good, too. Very highly recommended.
