(2020 dir. Osmany Rodriguez) Date Seen: May 24 2022
a nice humble little vampire comedy. & one that thankfully features traditional Dracula-style bloodsuckers. I've enjoyed recent revisionism to vampire mythology as much as the next guy, but sometimes you just want to see the classic depictions of these monsters. VAMPIRES VS. THE BRONX is competently staged & shot, but the real highlight for me was the whole ensemble cast. Both the newcomers & the established character actors. Also the script does a good job balancing the funny bits with the scares to the point where I'd say its energy falls somewhere between FRIGHT NIGHT (1985) and ATTACK THE BLOCK (2011).
