In this modern monster tale of Dracula's loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise) stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history's most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage). Renfield is forced to procure his master's prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there's a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.

Critics Consensus

Although it fails to take full advantage of its committed stars and killer premise, Renfield's batty horror-comedy blend sinks in just enough to leave an impression.

Audience Consensus

You'll enjoy Renfield more if you're ready for a lot of campy humor -- but why else would you be watching a Nicolas Cage vampire movie?

I came for Nicholas Cage and was not disappointed. He played an amazing Dracula in the modern world. That being said if you aren’t a fan of Nicholas cage I’d rate the movie somewhere between 3 and 4 stars but if you are I highly recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Aquafina was not funny in this and the ending was too silly for my tastes. It could have lean more into the horror.

There’s a spicier, punchier and sillier movie trapped inside. Shame it couldn’t be coaxed out.

Sight & Sound

Renfield is played for laughs – though with no shortage of blood and violence.

Jake Wilson

The Age (Australia)

The main attraction is Nicolas Cage’s barnstorming performance as Dracula, played mainly for laughs yet indicating careful study of his many predecessors in the role.

Rated: 3/5

Filled with laughs and so much blood, this film crosses many lines. Just plain bloody fun, gets a B grade from me.

Rated: B

A Good Movie To Watch

By translating the working relationship (or master-slave, since the latter doesn't get any pay) into the vocabulary of common relationship counselling parlance, the film actually elevates its symbolic status.

Rated: 7.1/10

Jackson Weaver

CBC News

[D]espite divided reviews and less than exciting box office predictions, Renfield will likely do what every [Nicolas] Cage movie manages (or maybe, is cursed) to do: fail at the theatres, before being resurrected as a cult favourite.
