Vampire in Brooklyn

Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) is a horror comedy from Wes Craven you can watch online on iFILM. A ship full of corpses drifts into New York Harbor, and with it comes the last vampire of the Caribbean, hunting for a bride.

Maximillian (Eddie Murphy) needs a woman with vampire blood in her family — the only kind who can share his immortality. The search leads him to Detective Rita Veder (Angela Bassett), who happens to be working the very case of that ghost ship. He works his charm and his hypnosis, slipping into disguises along the way, from a sweaty street preacher to a foul-mouthed hustler, all played by Murphy under heavy makeup. Rita feels a pull toward the stranger she can't explain.

Craven, the man behind A Nightmare on Elm Street, blends gothic dread with Murphy's broad comedy, with creature effects by the great Rick Baker. It's no purist's vampire film, but it has a strange nerve all its own. Stream Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) online on iFILM.
