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
Vampire in Brooklyn Reviews:
Awesome 
2008-07-23 - I saw this on TV originally, it's a great movie. It's supposed to be a comedic horror, but I definitely found it more funny than scary. It's very funny, hardly scary at all and has a good cast. Very entertaining, I recommend seeing it.
Funny had to have it 
2008-04-26 - This movie is funny as hell and I had to add it to my collection.
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.
