Overview

Three Bronx kids discover that the wave of boutique shops and luxury condos displacing their neighborhood is being driven by actual vampires. The horror-comedy conceit is playful, but the political subtext is direct: gentrification is predatory, and the community's only defense is solidarity. That framing earns the Leans Progressive label. The film champions grassroots resistance, centers a young Black and Latino cast defending their cultural home, and treats chosen-family bonds among friends as the moral core of the story. Religion gets a positive look, with crosses and faith playing a practical role against the undead. The message is pointed, but the tone stays fun enough for a PG-13 Friday night.
