Renfield

_Renfield_ is an okay horror comedy. It has a ton of potential with its excessive amount of blood and Nicolas Cage is worth the price of admission alone. The action sequences have all of their entertainment value sucked away by the end of the film; mostly because they all feel so similar. The humor...

Over the decades countless movies, plays, books, comics, video games, and television shows have depicted Vampires in various mythos which often include differences in behaviors, abilities, and, motivations. While there have been many Vampires, none have ever achieved the fabled status of Dracu...

If not for a trademark over-the-top Nicolas Cage performance and a truly inspired fight scene in an apartment complex, “Renfield” would be a total disaster of a movie. It’s certainly not any good and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, and the real horror of it all is the way director Chris McKay bl...

Its been a while since I've seen Nicolas Cage in a role, I feel, does him justice. Renfield gives Cage the opportunity to shine. His comedic take on Dracula combined with the "very English" performance, handed in by Nicholas Hoult, makes this film work, in spite of itself. The comedic premi...

Awkwafina should have been on the poster! ========================================= Not knowing she was in this, is what probably made me resist watching Renfield right away. She is the most watchable part of the film. Maybe because the rest is not a revelation; everything that happens in th...

I was not expecting much from Renfield and it pretty much gave me exactly what I was expecting: a mediocre film that was nothing offensive but all too forgettable. The screenplay is really all over the place. There are too many subplots and not enough time spent on the actual draw to the film, D...

Not bad, but I didn't really click with it enough. Nicolas Cage is a nice piece of casting and delivers in the role of Dracula, as I'd expect to be honest... feels like a Cage sorta character! Nicholas Hoult and Awkwafina are decent, I've seen better from the latter elsewhere but her performance...

Nicolas Cage proves again and again that he's capable of playing any role without problems and let me tell you - he's nailing his role in this movie. He's an actor of many talents. Enjoyed movie a lot. Was fun.
