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.

What "The Wiz" is to the "Wizard of Oz", this is the same for the "Vampires vs. The Bronx" is to "The Lost Boys".

If you take "Attack the block" and move it to Bronx and exchange Aliens for Vampires you have this movie.
