I enjoyed this fun little Netflix movie that is a Horror Comedy & is a mix of the Classic 80's The Lost Boys & the British Sci-fi Horror Comedy, Attack The Block.
Vampires VS The Bronx is a nice feelgood street smart urban Comedy with a Supernatural twist of Vampires gradually taking over a very downtrodden & half forgotten about part of The Bronx & it's up to 3 local neighbourhood kids to stop the invasion & save the Bronx. The kids are all really nice & cool dudes & the performances are fine & often funny but never over the top or annoying & in fact the kids here are nicer than the Hood thugs in Attack the Block!!! There's definitely similarities to that "Block" film & definitely similarities to "Lost Boys" but put together really nicely like a homage to those Cult flicks that came before it. I loved the look of this film, the cinematography is lovely & very atmospheric with mist & the use of red & green glowing lights & Neon signs that make it feel very Retro & i loved it. The Bronx is an Awesome setting for a Vampire invasion & the rough, gritty urban streets reminded me of another 80's Cult Vampire flick called VAMP starring Grace Jones & that's really cool. There's a nice sense of community here too & it's drenched in a feel of the spirit of helping each other & not giving up, fight for your community & work together but it's never sickly sweet or too sentimental. It was so cool that the kids watch Wesley Snipes' BLADE for inspiration on how to take out Vampires & the Vampires themselves are pretty damn cool looking with their modern-gothic but trendy look & very 80's Vampire face when they change again like Sunderland in Lost Boys look. There's hardly any blood or gore but it's a kids film really & that's fine because it's full of atmosphere & mood which i loved. The night time look of the urban streets are lovely & i liked the "Nest" building where the Vampires hide during the day & it all plays out really nicely, nothing Amazing but definitely a really Cool little flick with an 80's vibe & a great cast that are all good.
A really entertaining & fun Comedy Horror
