Vampire in Brooklyn trailer (dir: Wes Craven, 1995)

An abandoned ship crashes into a dockyard in Brooklyn, and the ship inspector, Silas Green, checks out the ship, only to find, to his horror, that the ship is full of corpses. Elsewhere, Julius, Silas's petty nephew, has a run-in with some Italian mobsters. Just as the two goons are about to do away with Julius, Maximillian, a suave but mysterious Caribbean man, shows up, reveals himself as a vampire, and kills the gangsters. Soon after, Maximillian infects Julius with his vampiric blood, turning Julius into a slowly decaying ghoul; he then explains that he has come to Brooklyn in search of the Dhampir daughter of a vampire from his native Caribbean island in order to live beyond the night of the next full moon.

This Dhampir turns out to be Rita Veder, a police detective who is still dealing with the death of her mentally unstable mother some months before. Rita begins having strange visions about her (or at least a woman that looks like her). She begins questioning about her mother's past. Her partner, Justice, who feels more than just partnership for her, just thinks that Rita is still grieving. However, Maximillian initiates a series of sinister methods to find out more about Rita and to further pull her into his seductive thrall, including seducing and murdering her roommate Nikki, disguising himself as her preacher and a lowlife crook (both played by Murphy). After saving her from being run down by a car, Max manages to get a dinner date with Rita. While dancing with her, Max bites Rita. He turns her but as long as he is killed before she drinks someone's blood she can be turned back. Justice fails to stake Max, but Rita stakes him instead and he disintegrates turning her back into a normal human. Meanwhile, Julius, now nearly completely decayed and without his master, finds Maximillian's ring and puts it on. He instantly transforms into a well-dressed (and well-endowed) vampire. Silas, although declaring he will be no ghoul, agrees to chauffeur Julius, and the two ride off into the night in the limousine. (Wikipedia)
