Audience Reviews

Ash P In all honesty, after seeing this for a long time, it's still as funny as it's written to be.Not one of Wes Craven's worst movies either since the horror aspect is a little generic but the humor was as good as most horror comedies be.The performance and chemistry were great, though.I highly recommend it if you're a big time fan of horror comedy movies, I'd say check this movie out.6/10. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Odell J I love this movie came out Halloween 1995 I remember being in 5th grade with a crush, I went to movies a seen it with my crush.. perfect combination of humor/horror a love interest!!! Got me home safe!! Thanks Eddie great movie!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review JBird a Vampire in brooklyn is a very interesting movie, I really enjoyed the performances from Eddie Murphy Angela Bassett John Whiterspoon Kadeem Hardison & Allen Payne. Some of the movie was kinda funny most of it was scary when Eddie Murphy was turned into his Dracula look, Wes Craven did good with making a classic vampire tale, I know it's been like a lot and negative reviews from critics and fans saying how terrible this movie Is but I disagree The movie isnt too bad, I actually think it's pretty good and I really enjoy Eddie Murphy's performance in this movie vampire in Brooklyn. West craven was a excellent choice to direct this film in 1995, I Like all the horror theme and comedy together. I give this flim an A For amazing story and excellent performance from the cast, Outrageous comedy and a classic cult flim Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/23 Full Review Manny M "Vampire in Brooklyn" puts Eddie Murphy's versatility on display as he embraces the role of a suave vampire. While the film takes swings at comedy, it's more like a friendly pat on the back than a knockout punch. Murphy's vampire is a decent twist, blending charisma with fang-y charm. However, the comedic rhythm isn't as tight as a vampire's cape, leaving a few chuckles lost in the night.Surprisingly, amidst the attempts at humor, the film manages to weave some serious beats quite well. The exploration of the vampire's loneliness and yearning adds a layer of depth to the narrative, almost like a Gothic touch to the laughter. These moments give Eddie Murphy's character some much-needed dimension, even if the comedy occasionally doesn't reach its full potential.Still, I must admit, I found myself enjoying it quite a bit – call it a guilty cinematic pleasure. If you're a fan of Murphy, sink your teeth into this one for his performance and a uniquely vampiric spin on humor and horror.

Critics Reviews

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Its one lingering image is that of Eddie Murphy trying, and failing, to rise from the dead. Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety Striking a good balance between horror and comedy (with the emphasis tilted to the former), this contemporized vampire tale flits along in entertaining fashion before making like a ghoul and falling apart at the end. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Caryn James New York Times Vampire in Brooklyn goes through the motions of a comic-vampire romance with little sense of how to blend its elements. May 20, 2003 Full Review Kat Halstead Common Sense Media Bassett gives a performance that deserved a better movie, while Allen Payne isn't offered much to work with as the generic "nice guy," though he's a likable one, for sure. Feb 6, 2024 Full Review Tom Long Santa Cruz Sentinel If your idea of a laff riot is a guy's ear falling off, then this movie might be for you. Therapy might be for you, too. Rated: D Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Steve Persall Tampa Bay Times Bassett and Murphy might make a fine romantic comedy team if they'll leave the oversized bicuspids at home. Rated: C+ Oct 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
