Vampires vs. the Bronx

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"

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.

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.

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.

This is a good kids film, it never pretends to be anything more then that, and it does it well, limiting violence and language and showing that teamwork, friendship, and community, is all that stands in the way of those who bring trouble in their wake. Forget the reviews pushing political views, they're seeing what they're predisposed to seeing when they look in a mirror. Meanwhile, the vampires saw no reflections, with the Effects shots done nicely, and the Cinematography done beautifully, Audio done equally as well.
