    Eddie Murphy is a good vampire.

    I watched this movie thinking it would be like other eddie murphy movies- lots of humor and fun. I was wrong BUT I wasn't dissapointed. I mean, for once I enjoyed a horror movie. Usually I shy away from horror movies because of their incredibly stupid and repetitive plots and characters. This one was different however. I don't really know what it was that made me like this movie, but I have to say that Eddie Murphy makes a good vampire. His version of a vampire is cool but SO totally evil.And his sidekick Kadeem Hardison(also seen in the movie Drive) is funny. In all a good movie. I guarantee that once you start watching this movie you'll be hooked and wont want to finish watching it until the end. 8/10

    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Sonja Davis, Angela Bassett's stunt double, died in an accident on the set. Davis' family filed a wrongful death suit against Paramount and Eddie Murphy's production company alleging that proper safety protocols were not met, and that Davis herself was hesitant about doing the stunt. Eventually, California's Division of OSHA issued 4 citations to Paramount and fined them $29,000. However the plaintiff in the wrongful death suit passed away in 1996, and there's no information about the case after that (presumably it was dropped).
