Vampire in Brooklyn

Amazon.com

Eddie Murphy teamed up with shockmeister Wes Craven to make this stale attempt at a horror-comedy. Murphy had the right idea, because the concept is intriguing: He plays a vampire from the Caribbean fulfilling a prophecy to rejoin his vampire queen, who turns out to be a Brooklyn cop (Angela Bassett) who is half-bloodsucker but doesn't understand the impulses being awakened in her. Bassett is a seductive presence and Murphy looks the part: sleek, inviting, and spooky. But Craven, perhaps the most overrated horror director working, can't handle comedy--at least not intentionally--and his idea of horror here is extravagant (and not particularly convincing) makeup. --Marshall Fine

Vampire in Brooklyn.......2007-08-02

THe special effects were awesome in this movie. Eddie Murphy did his usual excellent acting as did everyone else in this movie. I totally enjoyed it and love to watch it again and again.

One Of My Favorite Movies.......2007-06-27

This is one of those popcorn thrillers. It's fun and not meant to be taken seriously. Have fun and have some laughs. No spoilers here but I did expect a sequel.

Vampire in Brooklyn.......2006-03-09

this is a great movie - however the DVD I purchased is of horrible quality. I have returned it and it was replaced and it is the same. Very poor, the picture is very dark. The VHS version is far superior. I would not recommend buying it on DVD - the quality is the same as a bootleg copy. POOR! Real sham because it is one of Murphy's best movies.

Horrifyingly, frighteningly BAD movie.......2004-04-21

I am almost ashamed to admit this but my husband and I saw this movie right after he proposed to me and we have joked that it is a good thing he proposed BEFORE the movie because I may have not given the same answer after being made to watch this movie (truth to be told though it wasn't my BHs fault, his roomate chose this flick - and we've never let him forget it)! This was probably one of the WORST movies I have ever seen! The plot and acting were just awful and the movie was not very funny.
