ASSIGNED NUMBERS |
|
|
Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context. |

Eddie Murphy is a vampire in Brooklyn searching for a lost
female vampire to be his mate.
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Passionate kissing, moans coming from a bedroom when two
people are presumably having sex, some sexual references. A man and woman kiss while she
rips off his shirt and he tugs at her blouse.
VIOLENCE/GORE 8 - A man is seen rotting throughout the film; body parts fall
off making squishy noises. A few minor explosions and a few scenes of people being chased
and beaten up. A woman is almost hit by a car and is bitten by a cobra. A vampire is shown
sucking people's necks (with some blood). A man eats a cockroach -- slowly. We see the
corpses of many people with pale, bloody faces and slashed throats. A vampire causes a dog
to fly many feet to its death into water; also he shoots and kills a lunging cat. A man's
heart is pulled out of his chest and we see a close-up of it. A man is shot many times. A
man kills another man but we only see body parts flying and hear squishy noises. A woman
is found hanging and there is blood around her neck. Another woman is killed and we see
blood and slashing. A vampire has a stake driven through his stomach, and then his heart.
He eventually sort of melts.
PROFANITY 8 - 20+ F-words, many scatological references, many mild
obscenities, a couple of anatomical references, some racial epithets. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Vampires, insanity, loneliness, sacrifice.
MESSAGE - Don't give in to your dark side.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
