You won't be disappointed!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Omg,I remember seeing it in the movie Theater and walking out of it cuz it was so bad.

Contrary to IMDb grade of this movie and the many reviewers who appraised it as a low to mediocre movie piece i have only the highest praise for this movie.This is not a comedy but this is also not a horror movie.It is a mix of drama,horror and comedy.Eddie Murphys performance as a vampire was amazing and the special effects were awesome.This movie is definitely a classic and quite sure it is misunderstood by most.One of the best vampire movies ever made.10 out of 10 Keep this treasure alive!

Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) * (out of 4) They say sometimes great artists must hit an ultimate low before they can fully bounce back and that has never been more true for both director Wes Craven and star Eddie Murphy. In the film Murphy plays Maximillian, a Caribbean vampire who comes to Brooklyn in search of a woman to carry on his race. He finds the beautiful Rita (Angela Bassett) but his plan isn't going to be as simple as he thought. It's worth noting that Craven's next film was SCREAM and Murphy followed this up with THE NUTTY PROFESSOR so it's easy to see that both of them were just at the bottom of their careers here. The shocking thing revisiting this film for the first time since it was released is that it's actually gotten much, much worse. For the life of me I can't understand what the two were trying to do here but I'm guessing they wanted to take both of what they were great at and put it together but the end result is just a complete disaster. The comedy is so forced and uneven that it's never once funny. The horror elements are just so silly that they're never scary and when the gore does happen it just seems out of place. The entire film has a very ugly pacing and a lot of the blame has to go to Craven for not pulling the picture together but I'd still place more blame on Murphy, the producers, for hiring him. I'm not sure if Murphy and John Landis had a falling out on BEVERLY HILLS COP III but it's clear that he would have been much better with the (bad) material. The performances are all pretty weak with Murphy leading the way in an embarrassing piece of work. Allen Payne is wasted in his supporting role and Kadeem Hardison is just so in-your-face that the entire act just falls apart. VAMPIRE IN BROOKLYN is a perfect example of something that has talent but it just never came together for anything.

Okay so heads up, this is a black / African American film, and for those who didn't know that initially (such as myself) and just went into it for a free vamp movie might / aught to know this. It's Stella got her Boomerang and at a low budget and that about sums it up...That said (and again I'm mentioning this as I saw it for free) honestly it kind of sucked far as a vamp movie goes. the whole premise is to get the main girl which IMHO is kind of retarded to begin with far as a vamp movie goes. At any rate the movie is quite lack luster in the action department as well as the general story and the Kobe Bryant look alike Allen Payne doesn't do it any more justice. It fails as a vamp movie and I don't care if it's trying to be sarcastic or not it really doesn't sell on any level.So here's my advice, the rating is as it deserves. If you're up late one night with nothing else to watch and a few too many in you, then feel free, I was in such a case and still found it a mess honestly. There are better things to waste two hours of your life on (like sleep), but that's just my opinion, you be the judge... If anything the movie is out of date, not due to special effects nor music as it really doesn't have any but for characters and if nothing else lack of anything goodEddie, I like what you've done in the past, but damn...
