I swear, he really took a big challenge in playing a Romanian vampire and you know what he killed it! His name 'Maxmillion' isn't really a good name to have it as a fake name. It just sounds too modern but it didn't bother me much!

Man, I honestly loved how this movie was really well done in regarding the stunts, the funny scene's and everything involved with it! I was laughing my head off when Maxmillion lift the dog into the air and threw it into the river. I am an animal lover but that scene cracked me up like! With the cat, I was surprised he got shot, at least there wasn't any blood or guts around. At least the fur was better but still, it really did make me cringe when the cat died!

I'm glad this is a different film that you could watch on a Halloween night! Seriously it's funny to look at but it can be gruesome at the same time!

"Vampire in Brooklyn" is probably one of Wes Craven's most underappreciated movies, and that for some weird reasons.

• Eddie Murphy and Angela Bassett are really great together and had a great chemistry (cf: the seduction scene)
• It got some chilling moments (Rita's dreams, Nikki's death, the final...)
• The musical score from Craven's old collaborator, J Peter Robinson, is great.

• The humor especially from John Witherspoon and Kadeem Hardison is hilarious.

• ANGELA BASSETT ! OH MY GOD ! ANGELA BASSETT ! She's the best on that movie.

I'm not sure exactly what Eddie Murphy was trying to accomplish with Vampire In Brooklyn. It has some humorous moments, but it seems mostly a drama. It satirizes those old Blacula movies from the 70s, but not so good.

Eddie is the sole survivor of an African race of vampires who made it to the Carribbean courtesy of slavers. There's a reputed daughter of a vampire in a place up north called Brooklyn. And it's a woman so Murphy is on a mission.

Vampire In Brooklyn sure opened up funny with that freighter crashing into the docks in Red Hook with nothing alive on board. But after a few gruesome type murders happen, wouldn't you know it. The lead detective on the case, Angela Bassett is our quarry and Murphy pulls out all the stops to bring her into the vampire fold.

I think Kadeem Hardison fares best in the cast playing a street numbers runner who Murphy turns into a Renfield like slave. In the end he makes out just fine.

Far from top drawer EddieMurphy.
