Never seen it till tonight, so without nostalgia, I'd say it stands the test of time. Very creative interpretation of vampires in the modern world, with good cinematography and imagery (love the flying shots) and all sorts of metaphors and connotations abounding (sex, drugs & rock and roll, rebellion and inter-generational conflict, anxiety around divorce). Oh, and there was a scene involving an oiled-up, saxophone-wielding, spandex-clad rock god near the beginning that blew my mind!! lol. Highly recommended movie.

Classic 80 cheese B film done as an A-. (because of A list actors).I was a kid when it came out and I loved it, I still do now because nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Fun Hollywood 80s movie with a proper good ending.

So, I've heard about this movie quite a bit, and everything I've heard is that it's fantastic. I love Corey Haim, so I decided to watch it, and I do think it's a little overrated, but it's great! I liked it a lot, definitely a great movie. :)
