Editorial Review:

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

5 out of 5 stars 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.

1 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars ''Evil Is Good''.......2005-07-29

I LOIVED this movie it's one of my fav Vampire films I mean I don't know what the big deal was it was not bad at all it ROCKED.Okey when I fist got it I thoght it's gowing to be one of those corny stupid vampire films how wrong was I it was one of those films where the bad guy is the star and thats why I liked it I mean the atting was good the story was good it's a very very good film

1 out of 5 stars 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.

2 out of 5 stars sometimes funny but not that good.......2003-12-10

Eddie Murphy(The Golden Child, Daddy Day Care) is the vampire in this movie and he comes to Brooklyn and falls for Angela Bassett(Strange Days, Supernova)..so he then stalks her and then stalks her and kills people she knows...Allen Payne(Jason's Lyric, The Perfect Storm) plays Bassett's partner and trys to stop Eddie..Kadeem Harrison(The 6th Man) is the bug eating follower of Eddie. John Witherspoon(Friday, Next Friday, Friday After Next) also stars.....not much of a story here though Eddie plays a lot of characters like in The Nutty Professor movies.
