Oscar Winner Nicolas Cage stars as Dracula in the side-splitting, action-packed new cult classic, Renfield.

Renfield features an immortal cast alongside Cage including Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, Warm Bodies), Awkwafina (The Farewell, Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Ben Schwartz (Sonic the Hedgehog), Adrian Martinez (The Secret Life of Walter Mitty), Shohreh Aghdashloo (House of Sand and Fog), and Brandon Scott Jones (“Ghosts”, “The Good Place”).

“Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss: Dracula (Nicolas Cage). For centuries, Renfield has slavishly served Dracula by procuring his master’s prey and doing his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, Renfield is ready to look for a new life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness, if only he can figure out how to end the toxic, co-dependent relationship…” 

 

As of 06/02/23, the Rotten Tomatoes critical score sits at 58% and an audience score of 79%.
