Reviews:

Nicholas Hoult is the eponymous vampire “familial” whose job it is, is to cater for the needs of his toothy master (Nicolas Cage) who is distinctly under the weather. He is gradually tiring of the relentlessness of his tasks – especially as procuring food for his boss is becoming more and more difficult; as well having to rely on his own unsavoury diet of bugs – they give him super strength for a few moments. Meantime, the ballsy police officer “Quincy” (Awkwafina) is trying to finally nail “Teddy Lobo” (Ben Schwartz) whose mother “Bella” (Shohreh Aghdashloo) heads up the city’s most ruthless gang of drug dealing hoods and who has bribed just about every city official. Serendipity takes an hand when “Renfield” comes across this officer in a diner and after a lively altercation the two find themselves united in their determination to achieve their goals. To be honest, the story is pretty lightweight and just reminded me of an episode of “Buffy”. What makes this a bit more fun is the two characterisations. Hoult joins in. He is clearly having fun with his insects and his acrobatics. Cage is also up for the task at hand. He is super-hammy and at times reminded me more of Sir Anthony Hopkin’s “Hannibal Lecter” than of anything Christopher Lee ever did. I saw this on my own in a cinema last night which was a bid sad – it’s not a great film, but it is still a mildly amusing mickey-take of this genre (and of what passes for film-noir nowadays) and though instantly forgettable, is still a well produced and enjoyable enough gore-fest.

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 Dracula who has been the template ever since Stokers’s book and
the classic original film as well as subsequent appearances. In the new film “Renfield” audiences are introduced to Renfield (Nicholas Holt), who recounts his past as an ambitious lawyer who ended up serving
Dracula (Nicolas Cage) as a Familiar when his original intention was to
close a real estate deal. After his Master is injured after another attempt by Vampire Hunters,
Renfield relocates Dracula to New Orleans and looks to find suitable prey
to help his master return to full power.

This in turn leads Renfield to a self-help group as he plans to help the
poor souls there by using their tormentors as prey for his boss which he
hopes will in some way eliminate the burden that has built over the
decades from his servitude. This plan goes horribly wrong when he attempts to subdue an abusive
individual and his group lands Renfield on the radar as not only an eager
a police officer named Rebecca ( Awkwafina), and a drug lord named Edward
(Ben Schwartz). Mixing humor, action, and gore aplenty, Renfield must also deal with his
rising self-help motivations as he looks to stand up to his boss once and
for all and have his needs heard and respected which naturally does not
sit Weill with Dracula.

What follows is an amusing, chaotic, and gory adventure that while at
times inconsistent and meandering with the story; still finds enough ways
to entertain.

Cage hams it up to new levels in his portrayal of Dracula and he is
literally chewing the scenery in every scene in which he is featured and
it is one of his most enjoyable performances in recent years.

Hoult, Awkfwafina, and the supporting cast work well, and while the film
does get more than a bit loose with the story and gaps in logic even for a
film of this type it still manages to work. Dracula talks of a big plan
for world domination but we get little more than lip service which would
have helped to make this version of Dracula a more defined character.

The focus is more on comedic action than horror and it is clear that the
the cast seemed to be having a great time with their roles so as long as you
are willing to overlook issues with the plot; you may find “Renfield” one
of the more enjoyable comedic outings of the year.

3.5 stars out of 5

A Weird Mix of Genre That Doesn’t Amount To Much in The End
A really weird concoction of a lot of different genre that I kind of have to admire for taking a Dracula/Renfield story in a direction you wouldn’t expect but in the end I just think it amounts to a lot of mediocrity because that story they chose was just so weak.

It’s basically 3 movies in one and everything to do with Nicolas Cage giving a perfectly hammy performance as Dracula I really liked but in addition to that it also takes the direction of being a crime/mob thriller and a pretty generic one at that and all of the rom com stuff I just couldn’t have cared less about.

I love myself a good amount of blood and gore in my action movies and Renfield delivers that in spades so whenever there was a fight scene I was at least entertained. I really liked the central trio of Cage, Hoult and Awkwafina and I suppose the central message of the movie is a valid one but it’s so broad it feels childlike in its approach and I can hardly imagine people taking their kids to a movie like this.

Maybe I’m overthinking it a bit because the film was fun enough time but I just thought the filmmakers wasted their perfectly cast Dracula on a script that doesn’t know what it wants to be and I can’t help but be a bit disappointed in that.

Need more CAGE!
Nicholas Cage is in this far less than I imagined, and far, far less than I would have liked. Still, Hoult does a terrific job of carrying the film as the beleaguered Renfield, and much deserved applause to Shohreh Aghdashloo who is ALWAYS a treat.

The quips are funny, the gore is SO well used, the action scenes have been done before (none of us can really expect to see anything too new though, can we?), but they were really well-filmed.

The only detractor for ME, is that I am NOT an Awkwafina fan. I did not care for her in Crazy Rich Asians; she RUINED Jumanji (The Next Level) for me; and she was just as gratingly bad in this. YOU may have a different opinion, but that is my view and this is my review (you may disagree below). 🙂 I really dislike that I will sound like the reviewers I tend to generally NOT agree with, but I feel as if Hollywood chose her simply to tick boxes.

Despite Akwafina’s part in it, it is a good-to-great movie. It is well paced, funnier than I thought it would be, had a good amount of action and gore, and definitely some characters worth seeing.

Again, the only thing that was missing, is MORE Nicholas Cage!!! Cage does a really great job as Dracula and the make-up and special effects are on-point! My loyalties are now torn between Gary Oldman Drac and Cage Drac. (I’m kidding. As good as Cage is in this, Gary still takes it).

7.5/10.
