A 1995 horror/comedy film directed by Wes Craven. Maximillian (Eddie Murphy) is a vampire refugee from Jamaica who cannot stand to be alone. He has come to Brooklyn to seek out Rita Veder (Angela Bassett), the only known Half Vampire in America and teach her who she is. She just happens to be a police detective. Maximillian also has problems with the courting concept. Killing her annoying roommate Nikki (Simbi Khali) is not the way to impress a girl.
