The only flaw in Renfield's goofy, gorey, action/comedy-filled runtime is not featuring more of Nicolas Cage as Dracula.
A prequel or simply another Dracula story could and should be made to exploit Cage's broiling insanity as an actor, because Renfield, an already entertaining R-Rated cartoon for adults, takes another level every time he's on screen.
The fight scenes and gore-work in this movie are truly outstanding, along with great performances from just about all of the rest of the cast. If you don't go in expecting a serious horror film and instead a campy action comedy that reframes Bram Stoker's classic characters in a modern sense that frames everything in the context of toxic workplaces and toxic bosses, then Renfield is for you. A future Halloween movie-night classic.
