Vampire in Brooklyn
Detective Rita Veder is assigned to a baffling serial murder case. After examining the crime scene — a corpse-filled ship found adrift at sea — she meets Maximilian, a smooth-talking Caribbean playboy determined to romance her.
Critics Sentiment
Abandoned ship crashes into Brooklyn dockyard with corpses
Max takes Rita hunting but she refuses to drink blood
The film drops significantly from its promising opening to the hunting sequence where critics felt it became genuinely unpleasant without purpose
Critics consistently noted that Vampire in Brooklyn opened with promise but quickly lost its way after the first act. The film struggled throughout to balance its horror, comedy, and romance elements, with most reviewers feeling it succeeded at none of these genres. While some praised individual performances, particularly Kadeem Hardison and Angela Bassett, the overall consensus was that this represented a misfire for both Eddie Murphy and Wes Craven.
