Trailer
Why watch this film?
This 80s thriller has become a cult classic despite its somewhat ridiculous premise, over-the-top acting and an all-star cast of young stars of the era (such as Kiefer Sutherland of '24' early in his career). If you like vampires, 'Los muchachos perdidos' (better known by its original title of 'The Lost Boys') is a little gem that's enjoyable and ridiculous in equal measure.

From the same director
The Client
Based on the book of the same name written by John Grisham (famous for cool thrillers such as 'The Firm' and 'The Pelican Brief'), this movie gave Susan Sarandon the BAFTA award for Best Actress, plus an Oscar nomination. Though it doesn't have a brilliant script, the production is sustained precisely by the actress' performance and should satisfy those who like courtroom movies.
Batman & Robin
Under Joel Schumacher's command, the feature bets on the same exaggerated aesthetic that marked the director's passage by the hero. The great addition here is the humor, much more present than in previous films - even if it results in sequences worthy of shame, like the one with the Batman using the "batcard". This time, George Clooney is under the hood. We also have the return of Robin (Chris O'Donnell) and the introduction of a new heroine, Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone). Together, they face the villains Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) and Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger himself). It is not, as cinema, a good movie, but it marked the childhood of many people precisely because of its easy story, with appeal to children.
Batman Forever
Under the direction of Joel Schumacher ('The Phantom of the Opera'), Batman returned in a mix of Tim Burton's aesthetics and the visual excesses of the 1990s. The result is a film that, in some moments, recalls the 1960s TV series. The title character is played by Val Kilmer and a new hero is introduced: Robin, played by Chris O'Donnell. Together, they face Two-Face by Tommy Lee Jones and The Riddler by Jim Carrey - which, to this day, stirs up love and hate from fans due to his mannered performance. Far from being the best movie of the character, it is still an interesting portrait of an era.
Horror
Abigail
Abigail demonstrates why we should keep an eye on the director duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, especially when they have original material at their disposal (they also directed Scream 5 and 6, with mixed results). Abigail is a film that manages to balance the terror and tragedy of its characters with the absurdity of its premise, thanks to a clever script that plays with the conventions of vampire literature, careful direction, and a phenomenal cast (led by Mexican actress Melissa Barrera and Dan Stevens) that fully utilizes their roles. The plot follows a group of kidnappers tasked with a delicate job: to kidnap a millionaire's daughter for ransom. However, it all turns out to be a trap: beneath the guise of a 12-year-old girl, the victim is actually an ancient vampire who likes to play with her food. Like Ready or Not in its time, this film is self-aware, pushing its story and violence to the most absurd and fun limits without falling into self-parody. It won’t change the history of horror cinema, but it’s an excellent (and even stylish for a film of its genre, I dare say) choice for a fun time at the movies with friends.
28 Days Later
Twenty-eight days after a killer virus was accidentally unleashed from a British research facility, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected. Carried by animals and humans, the virus turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs – and it’s absolutely impossible to contain.
The Jack in the Box Rises
When Raven is sent to an all-girls boarding school, she unleashes a demon from a mysterious vintage jack-in-the-box hidden on the school grounds. Will the students make it out alive, or will the demon claim the victims it requires to remain alive?
Nudus
From director Gibrán Bazán, pupil of legendary cult filmmaker Juan López Moctezuma (Alucarda), NUDUS is a science fiction thriller that, with few resources, aspires to create the worst conceivable dystopia of our digital age: a world in which everyone's data is accessible to everyone, and for any purpose, after a major global hack. The plot follows a woman (Carla Hernández) who, upon waking up from a prolonged coma, is confronted by a stranger (Álex Crusa) who seems to know everything about her: everything she has written on WhatsApp and Facebook, all the videos she has sent to her contacts, all the humiliating information she has said in private. From this moment on, NUDUS seems more concerned with the mystery of its characters than with the greater background of their situation, so it becomes more about the exploitation of its female protagonist than a reflection on technology and data privacy. However, despite the plot going off the rails, the situation lends itself to exemplifying a catastrophic scenario of these breaches in privacy.
