Renfield
Overview
Renfield is a 2023 horror comedy film directed by Chris McKay, based on the character from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The film stars Nicholas Hoult as Renfield, the tortured, codependent servant of Dracula (Nicolas Cage). Renfield has been serving Dracula for centuries. He is tired of his abusive relationship, and he wants to leave. He moves to New Orleans and joins a support group for people in codependent relationships. The film is a funny, gory, and entertaining horror comedy. Nicolas Cage gives a over-the-top, hilarious performance as Dracula. The film also stars Awkwafina as a traffic cop who helps Renfield. Renfield was a commercial disappointment, earning only $26 million on a $65 million budget. It was praised for its performances, especially Cage, and its humor, but criticized for its uneven tone. The film is a fun, mindless horror comedy that is perfect for fans of Nicolas Cage and Dracula.
