Featured reviews
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.
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.
Vampires vs. The Bronx was a cute dare I say, family movie. I don't get the comparisons to The Lost Boys at all. It's a campy decent movie with good young actors, that used a real life issue as it's foundation. Gentrification and re-Genetrification is a serious subject, that has invaded inner cities forever. I think, the use of Vampirism and "taking over" of neighborhoods (that are primarily inhabited by people of color) was a unique take. Kudos to the young brothers, who did a good job imo. Check it out, it's definitely not the worst way to spend 1.45 hours!
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"
