Renfield is a cartoonishly violent comedy that features yet another standout performance from NicolasCage.
Renfield Score Details “Renfield is a cartoonishly violent horror comedy that ultimately doesn't have much to offer outside of yet another standout performance from star Nicolas Cage.” Pros Cons Renfield is a horror comedy starring Nicolas Cage as a version of Dracula that’s so hammy and over-the-top that he makes Bela Lugosi’s 1931 version look subtle. Based on that setup, it’s an easy sell.
Based on an original idea by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman, Renfield follows its eponymous, immortal servant as he tries to finally carve out a life for himself after spending hundreds of years dutifully serving Cage’s narcissistic, blood-sucking Dracula. The film picks up with the duo just shortly after they’ve relocated to New Orleans following an attack by vampire hunters.
While his powers make Renfield feel like yet another addition to the growing list of contemporary cinematic superheroes, the film offsets the overly familiar comic book elements of its story by leaning all the way into a Sam Raimi-esque style of blood-soaked ultraviolence. Over the course of Renfield’s runtime, Hoult’s undead vampire servant not only bisects certain corrupt law enforcement officials, but also cuts some gangsters’ hands off with serving plates and rips the arms clean off others.
