"Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult's Bloody Fun in Renfield: A Review"

Renfield, a New Orleans-set vampire comedy starring Nicolas Cage as Dracula and Nicholas Hoult as his long-suffering servant, fails to live up to its promising premise and turns into a generic crime drama with excessive gore. Cage and Hoult deliver entertaining performances, but the tired plot mechanics and convoluted screenplay minimize the hilariously dysfunctional Dracula/Renfield relationship. The film is part of Universal Pictures' attempts to capitalize on its classic monsters IP.
