Charlie Murphy wrote this movie.

i later appreciated this flick. Watchable, funny and pretty chilling in places.
I wanted to put it as an updated version of Blackula, but maybe not so.

Watched this a weeks ago. Died laughing. Pops, Eddie and Dwayne Dwayne was too funny. We need more collabs nowadays. A lot of random, unique, off the wall classics in the 90s.

Love this movie and Angela was sooo damn fine in it. I hate how we can't just do some fun goofy shyt, the movie was mindless fun and i enjoyed every minute of it. Whenever black folks make a movie they want us to always have some deep message behind it, but Bradley Cooper and them can keep making those stupid ass hangover sequels.

I never understood the hate as well. I always liked the black exploitation feel it had with the mix horror added in.
Preacher Paulie scene had me

i remember this getting hated on severely. i always liked it though

i think people just expected Eddie to drop nothing but hits that did well at the box office and this was the beginning of them realizing he was gonna do whatever the fukk he wanted. def unfairly hated on.

Don't care what anyone says, this movie was fukking hilarious. John Witherspoon in the beginning had me crying.

 

[Black White Sox Hat]
