I think I'm the only person on the planet who likes this movie. It's actually my all time favourite Eddie Murphy movie.   I've seen articles from the cast and crew of this film saying how even they ended up not caring for the final product, but personally I think it's one of the better vampire films to come out of the mid 1990's.

And considering it is a movie of the 90's, it's flavour is more of that from the 1970's. It's very much inline with the two  Blacula films, only funny.
Eddie Murphy plays three characters in one, as he plays a vampire who can change his appearance.

I still have a small inch of hope that there will at some point be a part two. (sssshhh let me have my delusions)

what do i think i learned from this film?
Never sit on a vampire's coffin.   You have to have faith in something, even if it seems like the most out there idea anyone has ever heard.  All myths have roots in reality.
