Customer Reviews of Vampire in Brooklyn
An entertaining horror movie and one of Murphy's best This was a suprize to me, I had my doubts before I saw this movie, but was happily suprized with the result. Eddie Murphy portrays a Vampire that is truely scary and Angela Bassett is the woman he desires to be his Vampire Queen.
Set in Brooklyn, this has an unusual twist since this is one of the first Vampire films that has an African-American as the lead Vampire since Blackula was released in the late 1960's-early 1970's. Murphy has done a good job in portraying a Vampire who has class, dignity, strength and yet is a ruthless killer at the same time who will stop at nothing to find his queen.
Angela Bassett plays a tormented-haunted police officer who is an outcast in the police force, and she is trying to find answers to her life. Yet there is a secret to her past that will leave her with a life (or death) changing choice to make.
The humor is good, and Murphy dosen't use his usual sense of humor which he is famous for, which enhances this film. Overall, this is an entertaining movie that is worth watching over again.
Heavily criticized but I think it works
This movie works because it is completely different than any other vampire movie I've seen. It has an intriguing story line, some good special effects and a very rare mix of horror and humor. Critics claim that it is not scary enough to work as a horror movie, and while not as scary as many it has it's moments. The comedy in the movie makes me laugh. Julius, the ghoul, is definitely a bright spot. Murphy has some good lines as well of the darker variety such as when referring to the quickest way to a girls heart he replies "Through the rib cage, but it is a bit messy." Definitely recommend this movie if your a fan of Eddie Murphy or vampire movies.
Horrifyingly, frighteningly BAD movie
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.
