Vampire mythology brought into a modern-day setting has been around for some time now. ManilaBulletin
So Renfield is the latest in a long line of Hollywood productions that play with the vampire legend. Renfield is the familiar of Dracula , who’s in a recuperating stage at the start of the film. The twist here is that Renfield has been attending a co-Dependency encounter group, where all the members have been trying to extricate themselves from toxic relationships. The in-joke being that only the audience and Renfield know just how toxic a Dracula relationship would be.
As it is, the script works in spurts; but there are too long sequences when the characters just seem to be mouthing the lines, and failing to find real momentum for the narrative flow. It would also seem that the producers have decided to juggle too many narrative strands - and so many just don’t work.
And it is a shame as Nicolas Cage makes for a wonderful Dracula. His sarcasm is so rich, his mugging for the camera truly funny, but he’s also relegated to playing second fiddle to the Renfield character. Hoult is an earnest familiar, but lacks fresh and blood.
