I enjoyed this far more than I expected to. Hoult and Cage are a blast together and I found the black comedy very much aligned with my own personal funny-bone. Yes, it could have been even better. But my views overall don’t align here with the majority of the mainstream critics on this one. Read more

An unhinged Ben Schwartz was also pretty fun to see. This is one to check out for sure. It’s funny and fun and doesn’t require much in the way of brain power to navigate. Read more

Its mix of gore and goofiness is good enough to conceal moments of missed potential, resulting in a moderately creative, undoubtedly frivolous, generally engaging horror-comedy hybrid. Read more

Rather than taking the attractive premise in an exciting direction, the film goes for a romance subplot that doesn’t work and a crime family subplot that doesn’t hold your attention. Read more

For fans of Nic Cage, this movie is still well worth a watch as Count Dracula even though he’s not the main character. I just wish the movie deserved his and Hoult’s committed performances. Overall I was left wanting more as the filmmakers squander so many opportunities to make Renfield a horror-comedy classic. Read more

Squandering the opportunity to let Nic Cage go ‘full cage’ in vampire mode, McKay plays him out of position with a supporting role in Renfield, and this ultimately sucks the lifeblood out of a film that never manages to settles on a tone. Read more

Some of the bloodsucking gags are as stale as those found in the terminally unfunny George Hamilton vehicle Love at First Bite. Read more

Renfield begint als frisse draai aan het Dracula-verhaal, maar verzandt in clichés en weinig geslaagde komedie-elementen. Read more

Gelukkig nemen de makers het totaalplaatje niet serieus, waardoor Renfield met zijn sporadische vermaak kan rekenen op een kleine voldoende. Dat eindcijfer heeft de film grotendeels aan Nicolas Cage te danken. Read more
