10 More Hidden Horror Gems On Netflix

10. Vampires Vs. The Bronx

To say Vampires vs. the Bronx is a breath of fresh air, would be a major understatement.

From director Oz Rodriguez - who co-wrote the film with Blaise Hemingway - this 2020 delight takes the classic vampire movie tropes and puts a whole new spin on things. Bright, breezy, smart and snappy, Vampires vs. the Bronx is a comedy horror with a larger message about gentrification.

With Jaden Michael's Miguel Martinez as the audience's 'in', this picture sees Miguel and his local community looking to raise money to help out Tony's Bodega; a small business on the cusp of going bust due to increased rents. A slew of similar local businesses have already closed their doors and sold up, and Tony's Bodega is merely the next in line to face this prospect.

It's soon revealed how vampires have moved into the Bronx and plan to use these vacated buildings as nests where they can keep their coffins. From there, Miguel and his pals watch Blade, do some online research, and make notes on all of the classic ways to fight these bloodsuckers and save their community.

With zero sense of hyperbole, Vampires vs. the Bronx is the best vamp-centric movie to come around in many, many a year.
