TREY: Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) Emerson move with their mom Lucy (Dianne Weist ) to Santa Carla, a coastal town in California plagued with gang activity and unexplained disappearances. The family moves in with Lucy's dad (Barnard Hughes) who lies on the outside of the town.The center of town life seems to be the local boardwalk, which has an amusement park. Lucy gets a job at a local video and electronics store run Max (Edward Hermann), Michael likes a beautiful young woman he sees at a concert. When Michael follows her, she leaves the boardwalk with David. The following night, Michael finds the young woman again and learns that her name is Star (Jami Gertz). As they are about to leave together on Michael's motorcycle, the gang leader, David, (Kiefer Sutherland) reappears and provokes Michael into a motorcycle race where Michael is almost baited into going over the edge of a sea-cliff. After that he hits David in the mouth and David invites Michael to his hangout in a dark cave (old hotel). The gang starts to eat Chinese food and David turns Michael's rice into maggots while it's in his mouth but when he spits it out it's rice. Then David drinks blood and gets Michael to drink some and it turned him into a vampire. Michael almost succumbs but leaves to meet Star, who explains they are half vampires who will not achieve full vampire status until they have had their first kill. Then Michael and Star kiss and have sex. Sam reads vampire comic books and learns if the head vampire dies then every half vampire will become a real human again., Sam meets two young brothers, Edgar and Alan Frog (Corey Feldman and Jamison Newlander) and they hunt and kill vampires. He meets them when he purchases comic books.That night, Lucy is on a date with Max and Grandfather is gone. Michael and the teens prepare for the gang's assault, arming themselves for the battle. The three remaining vampires attack and chaos ensues. Sam kills one with an arrow through the heart while another is knocked into a bath tub filled with holy water. Michael and David fly and battle until Michael impales David on deer antlers and kills him. However, Michael is still a vampire. Max and Lucy then appear and Max reveals himself to be the head vampire after all; the tests hadn't worked because he had been freely invited into the house by Michael before. He reveals that he had wanted Lucy as his mate and that his "family" and hers would merge. As Max is about to bite Lucy's neck, her father crashes his jeep through the wall of the house; the vehicle's hood is piled up with the large spiked fence posts, one of which impales Max, killing him. As the others stare in amazement, Grandpa casually gets a root beer from the refrigerator and remarks, "One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach... indicating that he knew all about the vampires from the very beginning.
