Renfield Ratings & Reviews
- vangh1December 13, 2024I was VERY on board early, as the aesthetics of the flashback to classic black and white Dracula was awesome. Unfortunately the movie couldn't keep me as invested for the full run time. Nick Hoult is awesome as an MCR music video character, and Ben Schwartz is awesome doing his thing but I wish Nic Cage would have gone even bigger. He goes too big for it to feel like a nuanced performance, but not big enough for it to feel like the style is the substance. There's some fun gore and action set pieces for sure. Renfield's cute little wave as he rides a corpse down 2 stories will forever be in my mind. All in all, it's a bit of fun and not much more.
- Kevin Ward3d agoI wanted to soak up every second Nic Cage was on screen. Hyper violent blood and gore with excellently choreographed action scenes, delightfully funny sense of humor—this was exactly what I was hoping this would be. Hoult plays the titular Renfield, Dracula’s “familiar” responsible for tending to all his needs, but has a want to live a life of his own. (You’re treated to an incredible little montage that explains their back story). This theme of self-actualization vs co-dependency runs throughout and gives the film some thematic richness. Awkwafina and Ben Schwartz round out the excellent main cast, all of whom have great comedic chops. But my god, Nic Cage is just magnificently chewing the scenery of every frame he occupies (which thankfully is quite a lot). Insanely fun time at the theater that satisfied my bloodlust, had my son and I in hysterics, and has a heartfelt underlying message as well. Go see this opening weekend with a hopefully packed house. trigger warnings: ska
- DurosityJune 4, 2025It’s a ridiculous movie. Weird. Funny. Insane. But damnit, it was the film Nicolas Cage was born to play. He can retire now.. he’s peaked with perfection.
- Hipster ZOMBIEJanuary 26, 2025“Renfield” overall is kind of a ho-hum vampire comedy, however it’s Nicolas Cage’s turn as Dracula that takes the film to higher heights. Very gory with some decent action scenes.
- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 24, 2025A great funny film with excellent performances all round including my new favourite Dracula. Worth watching again and again as you notice little things every time. Hilariously funny and a very gory. A great combination which makes for a great film.
