Such a frustrating disappointment
Great Film overall
Don't Believe the Hype
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This movie is not a vampire movie. It's a movie about human behavior, religious hypocrisy, animal behavior, social issues, and difficult choices. I don't feel it will translate well to today's expectations. This is one of my favorite movies.
Omg,I remember seeing it in the movie Theater and walking out of it cuz it was so bad.
Maximillian (Eddie Murphy) is the only survivor from a race of vampires on a Caribbean Island, and as a vampire, he must find a mate to keep the line from ending.Some have said this film is the worst for Murphy and for Wes Craven, with Murphy saying the wig he had to wear was a big part of the problem. Now, looking back almost twenty years later, the wig does not look bad, and this was far from rock bottom for Murphy. For Craven, it may not be his strongest film, but it may also not be his worst ("Cursed" is pretty bad).Seriously, this is not that bad of a film, even if the humor never hits exactly right.
When this movie came out. It was refreshing and entertaining. If you think it suppose to be a serious movie with Eddie Murphy. Come on! You bumped your head. The movie was hilarious. It's creative and one of them Negro movies you have to have along with Coming to America, Tales from the hood and Friday. So enjoy it. It's art, Thanks Wes Craven. Man i even like People under the stairs. I got all the Eddie Murphy movies.I don't want to spoil the movie. Of course it's 2014, so watching this movie would probably be too slow for you but....it has a build up and a twist. Give all the 80's and 90's movies a chance. Peace
