Rating: 2/4 --
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?
Juicy Cerebellum
Craven can't keep the comic elements in balance with the horror, and as a result there's no tension or dramatic pull.

Rating: 2/5 --
Essentially 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.

...A good balance between horror and comedy....Murphy proves effective and menacing as the vampire...

Doesn't live up to its promise or premise.

Given the talent involved, it's almost impressive how much of a misfire the film is.

Product Description:
Eddie Murphy is Maximillian, the last of a race of vampires from the Caribbean who travels to New York in search of Rita (Angela Bassett), an NYPD officer whom he considers to be the perfect woman to carry on his dying bloodline. Once he hits Gotham, Maximillian has a series of fish-out-of-water adventures, which include posing as a street preacher, finding a slum apartment that he magically turns elegant, and dropping plenty of one liners. When Maximillian finds Rita, he must compete for her affections with her partner Justice (Allen Payne), which he does with the help of his faithful and decomposing sidekick Julius (Kadeem Hardison). Wes Craven (SCREAM, NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET) directed this offbeat mix of comedy, horror, and romance, which could be seen as a genre flipside to Murphy's COMING TO AMERICA.
