Vampire in Brooklyn is neither funny nor frightening and comes up a tedious middle-road hybrid from veteran scaremeister Wes Craven, who directed.

Neither as good as it might be nor as bad as you might expect.
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

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
Rotten
Murphy's pale efforts are enough to make one fondly recall Blacula. Now that was one sucker who knew how to make a film that didn't.
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today

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.
