Vampires vs. the Bronx

We threw this on kind of randomly without any expectations. It was fine. It was relatively entertaining, campy, and cute. Very easily could have just been a kids movie if you took out the cursing and blood.

The gentrification theme/metaphor is probably why the rotten tomatoes score is so high, so don't let that make you think this movie will be great. Not very subtle, but whatever.

If you're looking for a comedy, I'd pick something else; has a couple funny parts, but more "ha" moments than actual laughing. If you're looking for a horror, I'd definitely pick something else. If you just want a community coming together kids action/adventure movie that you can put on and half pay attention to, this fits right into that.

Probably safe for older kids to watch if you don't mind a little bit of cursing.

Give the racism comments a rest please, what's up with people.

Enjoy it for what it is, a fun, lighthearted film about vampires.

It's not to be taken serious, which is obvious.

Come on people, chill out.

The plot is not original but, the execution is decent. The kids performances are pretty good. The humour is at times cringe but, there are some moments when you might find yourself laughing out loud.

There is clearly some symbolism in place with the Vampires. They represent the rich who take advantage of the poor in the real world. There is a message that is being sent throughout the film in regards to this.

The kids also, have their own small storylines going on and even though it doesn't get too deep it tries to also, send a message to the viewers of good and bad.

If you don't take it too seriously and just try to watch it casually it's a fun movie.

A trio of teens from Bronx r concerned about their local grocery store shutdown cos of new real estate development. They r forced to protect their neighborhood when they come to know that the new land owners are a bunch of vampires responsible for the invasion of their locality and murder of their godfather. Comparisons to Attack The Block, Fright Night and Lost Boys will continue to pop up in reviews but this one aint no copy cat. Coincidentally i was on a Dracula/Vampire movie marathon and aft almost revisiting all the Dracula films n gotten tired by this genre, i somehow enjoyed this. The vampire effects r cool, ther r few scary moments n some good acting by the kids. Good to see a hot vampire chick. They shud have focused a bit more on atmosphere n added more kills.

Lots of in-jokes for fans of the vampire genre, likeable leads and a lot of laughs. A good family film. Great for fans of Stranger Things or Attack The Block.
