Vampiros vs. el Bronx

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.

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.

It gets better midway through but doesn't really go anywhere. I thought it was going to be a fun film like attack the block but definetly nothing alike. Had a lot of potential but didn't live up to much. Watch if you want something to eat to or browse your phone throughout.

This movie is fun and short and i think it deserves a watch. but it isn't great yes, it took it's time to build up the story and the characters in the first half in pretty well way and the last 30 minutes or so was just way too fast for what they were building up to and made the movie at the end: meh it was fun... "forgotten"

A few nights ago I watched The Lost Boys, I had forgotten just how amazing a film that was, so I had vampires on the brain.

Vampires Vs The Bronx doesn't exactly register on the scale as a Vampire film in the conventional sense, it lacks any real horror or gore, but as the central characters are three kids, you need to be reasonable with your expectations.

It deals more so with gentrification, ordinary people being squeezed out of their neighbourhoods by wealthy developers. It's always greed that's the motive, only this time it's not money that's craved, but blood.

Some good bits of humour, the overbearing mums are all pretty funny.

The kids are really good, their acting is very good, I really did enjoy Method Man as Father Jackson, and The Kid Mero as Tony.

So long as you know what to expect, I would say it's a fun watch. Nothing heavy here, just some fun, 7/10.
