Featured reviews
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.

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 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.
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!
