Description: Tongue-in-cheek supernatural tale of an African-American vampire who searches the streets of New York for the young woman who holds the key to his eternal survival.
Vampire in Brooklyn is neither funny nor frightening and comes up a tedious middle-road hybrid from veteran scaremeister Wes Craven, who directed. Peter Stack,San Francisco Chronicle

To call this a comedy is a sign of optimism to call it a comeback for Murphy is a sign of blind faith. Roger Ebert,Chicago Sun-Times
They're no match, though, for the crushing disappointment of having to watch Murphy on the comic sidelines. It's like going to a Barbra Streisand concert and being asked to listen with her while the rhythm section sings. Susan Stark,Detroit News
Doesn't live up to its promise or premise. James Berardinelli,ReelViews
This modern fable is little more than a Murphy potboiler, something to while away a couple of hours, rather than fondly remember. Desson Thomson,Washington Post
Craven can't keep the comic elements in balance with the horror, and as a result there's no tension or dramatic pull. Hal Hinson,Washington Post
