Nicolas Cage and Nicholas Hoult in Renfield (2023)
In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Nicolas Cage).  Renfield is forced to procure his master’s prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness.  If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.

    • Trivia
      Despite a history of turning down non-leading roles in studio films, Nicolas Cage signed on to play Dracula. It was a life-long dream of his to portray the legendary figure.
    • Goofs
      When Renfield splits the thug in half on the railing, you can see afterwards he's back in one piece.
    • Quotes

      Mark: What if you were to stop focusing on his needs, what would happen?

      Renfield: He won't grow to full power.

      Mark: Exactly. He won't grow to full power. What? That's so weird. Why would you phrase it like that? But, yes.

    • Crazy credits
      During the whole credits, snippets of the film and added footage are shown in a old-fashion style.

    Over the top chaotic bloody and campy fun.
    Over the top chaotic fun with buckets of blood and gratuitous violence. Both Cage as Dracula and Hoult as Renfield are superb with excellent acting and an authentic master/servant relationship.

    The plot wasn't as special as it could have been, but it's still pretty good and the moral message is well woven in between the frequent fast paced action scenes.

    • - - - - - -- - -
    Great special effects, makeup and use of music, but it did feel a bit of a mish-mash at times and there wasn't as much comedy as I was expecting.

    • - - - - - -- - -
    Overall, I would score this film as a seven out of ten.
