Featured reviews
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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
