"Renfield Review: Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult Deliver Bloody Good Fun in Vampire Comedy"

Renfield, a new take on Bram Stoker's classic Dracula, focuses on the titular character, played by Nicholas Hoult, rather than the vampire himself, played by Nicolas Cage. The film is a contemporary dark comedy mixed with graphic violence and bloody body parts, but succeeds with Hoult's likable and worn-down Renfield, who is searching for his own worth. The movie also features Awkwafina as a New Orleans cop and Ben Schwartz as the son of the city's biggest crime family. The film is directed by Chris McKay and produced by Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Samantha Nisenboim, Bryan Furst, and Sean Furst.
