Never funny enough to pass muster as a comedy and never scary enough (if at all) to make it as a horror movie.

Oh, Wes, what did we all do to deserve this?

Is it comedy? Is it horror? Uneven film that never lives up to its potential as either.

Vampire in Brooklyn is neither funny nor frightening and comes up a tedious middle-road hybrid from veteran scaremeister Wes Craven, who directed.
06/18/02
Top CriticEssentially little more than a romantic triangle with a 'good versus evil' twist, it's not a bad film, but it is also neither winningly funny enough to exploit Murphy's talents nor bitingly scary enough to exploit Craven's.

The horror relies on special effects so obvious that the scares are compromised.
05/14/02
Neither as good as it might be nor as bad as you might expect.

Top CriticThe bottom line is that Vampire in Brooklyn is funny and gross, but saddled with a pedestrian storyline that denies any real magic in its premise and sinks its potential as a dark fantasy.
