Distopic future, Peter Pan's Lost Boys have skates and their own religious-like gang against adult world. Kids killing kids in parties full of naked girls. Kids kicking corpses, taking (and cooking) drugs and having sex. Nine Inch Nails and a really dark, kinky atmosphere reminding both movies from the 80's and other distopic movies such as Johnny Nmemonic or Strage Days.
Even though this movie has a predictable plot and a Hollywood "happy" ending, it is quite disturbing for a teen movie. Everything is explained when you see that there is a Japanese producer, that the art director is the one responsible for 12 Monkeys and, of course, when you remember that in 1990 teen movies could be nastier than now (even if these killer boys don't swear).
It's not a great movie, but it's much better than one might expect, and, mostly, shocking.
