Maximillian is the only survivor from a race of vampires on a Caribbean Island, and as a vampire, he must find a mate to keep the line from ending. He knows that a child had been born to a woman who had a vampire father, and he searches for her in Brooklyn. Rita's mother, who has died in an asylum, was that woman and Rita has nightmares that she does not understand. Not knowing that she is part vampire, Max woos her and attempts to bring her to her blood sucking destiny.

Maximillian: [after being shot] Interesting. I've been stabbed, and I've been hanged, and I've been burned. Even broken on the rack once, but I've never been shot before. Kind of itches a little!

Movie Trivia:
- John Witherspoon's character Silas says "Bang, bang, bang" when referring to sex, just like Witherspoon's character did in Boomerang (1992), another movie starring Eddie Murphy.
-
Sonja Davis, who was Angela Bassett's stuntwoman, was killed in an accident on the film set in 1994.
-
On "The Directors" (2007), Wes Craven suggested that Eddie Murphy ignored his requests to play the character vulnerable and instead felt compelled to showcase his comedic talents.
-
The film was Eddie Murphy's last for Paramount under his exclusive contract with the studio.
-
Wes Craven has stated that he doesn't care for this film, particularly because he felt he an Eddie Murphy wanted to make different films. Both were very excited to work together, with just one problem: Comedic actor Murphy wanted to make a horror film and horror director Craven wanted to direct a comedy.
