(2008) ***Siblings Chris and Nicole have a jam packed first day in Luna Beach CA: move into a crappy apartment, go to a wicked cool surfer party so as to avoid watching The Goonies with their aunt, and become involved with the local vampire community (Nicole crushes on surfer/head vampire Shane, above). After Nicole unknowingly drinks Shane's blood she begins to transform, and Chris tries to find a way to save her, with the help of Edgar Frog, board shaper and vampire hunter.
This movie was a pleasant surprise, with plenty of gore, some humor, decent effects, suitable soundtrack, straightforward plot, and an updated CA surfer/vampire vibe. It didn't have quite (dare I say) the charm of the original but was certainly watchable enough and much better than I expected. Lost Boys 3, Horrorthon 2010?

I have this in my stack to watch, I'm glad it wasn't a complete disaster!
I saw this some time ago and agree with your review AC.
i'm going to watch it this year.
Pointing out movies that don't age well isn't my favorite thing, but the original really doesn't age well. Which makes #2 a little better, even.
