In Renfield, Nicolas Cage as Count Dracula kills in every sense of the word.

" McKay and written by Ryan Ridley — is the first movie to give us a more intimate portrait of the Count's formerly faithful servant.

We start with a nice bit where McKay inserts Cage and Hoult into scenes from Tod Browning's 1931 classic. Here, Hoult is clearly having a good time channeling Dwight Frye's descent into madness, so it's a drag that this is the only opportunity Hoult gets to ham it up. For the most of the movie, Renfield is a mopey fellow. You can imagine his 20th century playlists stretching from Billie Holiday to Hank Williams to the Velvet Underground to Joy Division to ... you get the idea.

Tasked with obtaining victims for his boss, Renfield hits upon the idea of only bringing bad guys for Dracula to feed on . Problem is, the Master reaches full power faster when his victims are"pure." It's a concept that's been around since 1991's, and complicates Renfield's plans. Does he pursue only assumedly innocent prey , or known fiends ?
