This time around Nicolas Cage dons the cape and fangs. But, as you might have noticed from the title of the movie, <strong><em>Renfield<\/em><\/strong> is not focused solely on the Prince of Darkness. Nor is it merely seeking out scares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicholas Hoult (<strong><em>The Menu<\/em><\/strong>) plays Dracula&#8217;s &#8220;familiar,&#8221; charged with bringing him fresh victims and tending to his needs. Being Dracula&#8217;s right-hand man has its perks. Renfield gains super-strength when he consumes insects and, despite being over 70 years old, he still looks like he&#8217;s in his twenties. Both are the result of Dracula&#8217;s healing blood. But after doing Dracula&#8217;s bidding for decades, Renfield seeks counseling from a therapy group. He feels that he&#8217;s trapped in a co-dependent and toxic relationship with his boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Renfield gains more confidence in himself and starts to pull away from Dracula&#8217;s bindings, he encounters Officer Rebecca Quincy (Awkwafina.) Renfield and Quincy both have a running conflict with the Lobos, an organized crime family. More specifically, they both have an issue with Teddy Lobo (Ben Schwartz.) Renfield saves Quincy&#8217;s life when Teddy attempts to kill her; which further convinces Renfield that he should be doing good instead of evil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Renfield<\/em><\/strong> succeeds when it sticks to the Dracula\/Renfield story-line. Cage and Hoult are both excellent in their respective roles. Cage, of course, excels at the over-the-top characterization of Bram Stoker&#8217;s legendary vampire. Hoult convincingly plays the reluctant accomplice. As the film opens, recreations of scenes from 1931&#8217;s <strong><em>Dracula <\/em><\/strong>&#8212; with Cage and Hoult digitally replacing Bela Lugosi and Dwight Frye &#8212; establish the characters&#8217; relationship. It&#8217;s nice touch and a nod to fans of classic horror films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, the script strays from what works and spends too much time trying to establish a pseudo-romantic relationship between Renfield and Officer Quincy. The organized crime subplot provides plenty of opportunities for Renfield to display his bug-induced strength in gory fashion. But, ultimately, it gives the film a generic action movie feel that drags down the more interesting main story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, the elements that work do so well enough to still warrant a recommendation. Renfield&#8217;s sessions in group therapy elicit genuine laughs. It&#8217;s too bad that the movie&#8217;s trailers largely spoiled those scenes ahead of the film&#8217;s release. Thankfully, most of Cage&#8217;s scenes as Dracula were not and they make the film worth a look.<\/p>\n\n\n<span class=\"fsrs\"><span class=\"fsrs-stars\"><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"hide fsrs-text fsrs-text__hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">3.0 out of 5.0 stars<\/span><span class=\"lining fsrs-text fsrs-text__visible\" aria-hidden=\"true\">3.0<\/span><\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Renfield succeeds when it sticks to the Dracula\/Renfield story-line.
