Plot: A group of three young friends from the Bronx fight to save their neighborhood from gentrification...and vampires.
My Movie Review: The movie is a witty likeable refreshing take on vampire lore that gets more exciting towards the midway using it as a means to highlight the horrors of gentrification! A silly fun but slight horror-comedy that's clever and engaging as it doesn't do much with its biting metaphor on urban gentrification for those who enjoy supernatural and adventure flicks:)( Vampires vs the Bronx is some light-hearted with underlying message and a steady stream of great gags that manages to put a stake to the heart of few real issues while it tickles your ribs:) This young bloods clean up the concourse it exceeded my expectations as a trio of teens from The Bronx were concerned about their local grocery store shutdown cause of new real estate development and what shocking to me the store operator die sad and not necessary but also brilliant- unexpected moments like this makes the movie so authentic and it fresh start as well:)
Critics Consensus: In the sharp, socially conscious battle of Vampires vs. the Bronx, comedy and horror blend brilliantly and the audience is the winner. There's a comfortable, familiar, save-the-old-community-centre spirit about this movie. Do recommend checking it, specially if you're in a Halloween mood. It's a fun movie, but it could have been a lot better. Alive, inventive, and specific, this horror-comedy is an absolute winner. Who would have thought with a title like that this would be a decent film! The non-elaborate scenarios and relaxed posture generate a likable indie flavor... When a horror-comedy is as agile, charming, and funny as this, everybody wins. A formulaic story with refreshing cultural lens and social commentary.....A Latinx household is fully equipped for a possible vampire invasion. It wasn't painful, but I had high expectations...the jokes did hit made me laugh...It exceeded expectations...fun and short:)
