About Vampire in Brooklyn

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 Amazon.com

Vampire in Brooklyn
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. August 2, 2007

One Of My Favorite Movies
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. June 27, 2007

Vampire in Brooklyn
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. March 9, 2006
